It's got 2 deep rinses for the normal cycle, relatively rare. Any idea when this machine was built? And I haven't yet seen a tub that purposely indexes opposite direction of the agitator, was that a Westy exclusive? And did it wash well?  I like all the options with speeds, this one looks pretty high end. And the HandWash second agitator. I've always heard TL Westy's described as un-inspiring, this one looks pretty darn good.

Even though WH had some beautiful well styled appliances during this period the word was out about the reliability of thier appliances among consumers, dealers, and new home builders. I for one always liked thier styling and features and have numerous  WH appliances in our collection from this time period. I felt that thier best appliances were thier electric ranges followed by thier FL washers, dryers, refrigerators and lastly thier TL washers you were very lucky to get 10 years out of the TL washer.

Westinghouse started losing big builder contracts in the early 1960s, one big blow here in Maryland was when Levitt who built about 30,000 homes here abandoned HW in favor of GE around 1963. I remember a large apartment building on N Park Ave in Chevy Chase Md of about 400 apartments built around 1975 that had all WH appliances including the stack LF laundry. I was occasionally across the street servicing a 167 unit condo built in 1982 with all WP appliances and I had to laugh as the WH repair person was ALWAYS across the street and he had his own reserved parking spot right in front of the building.

But unfortunately the YOU CAN BE SURE ITS WESTINGHOUSE slogan came to haunt them and WH became the largest appliance company to sellout followed by many others. I think that the only other company I remember of the time that had a name so ridiculed was the ESSO oil company, which came to mean [ every sucker stops once ] ESSO wisely changed thier name to Exxon.
