Shipping Any idea where I could get a shipping quote for something like that, it's rather far, but for 50 bux if the shipping isn't insane I'd take it. | ||

 I've been trying for quite some time to find out more about the model of Westinghouse dryer that was in our house when I was growing up. The one in the pic above is getting closer to what it looked like. Ours had the same style of door with the window and latch and the controls were on the panels however the panel was slanted, the timer knob was on the right and the heat setting knob was way to the extreme left on the panel. I can't remember for sure but I don't recall there being a lint filter on the top either. Anyone ever seen a dryer like this?

The front door, porthole/glass, door latch look just like my 1976 westy washing machine's. The top door looks like where one adds bleach too. My 1976 westy dryer looks nothing like that dryer at all.

1976 westy dryer here has a totally different door. Your dryer looks like really an early 1960's USA westy washer, where the tube is horizontal and the door piece has a slight slant. Maybe Canada used the USA's westy washer's front door piece?

I guess maybe say in 1962 westinghouse made a matched pair that the dryer looked just like the washer; ala the old 1950's "twins"? | ||

Westinghouse washers and dryers matched all through the slant front models. The washers and dryers both had window doors. | ||

Westinghouse slantfronts Not to nitpick but not all slantfronts had windows in the door. The earlier versions had no windows at all in the door and later BOL dryers had a black panel that simulated a window but was really a solid door. Jeb. | ||
