Coins that worked their way into the pump. It had been years since this washer had any water in it. I had run hot water thru it to soften the seals and flush any gunk out, but there was just too much.

Removed the sump cover, it had to be torn off in sections. Here is the sump guard with more of the coins on it. My total jackpot was $1.78! Yeah!

This was what was left of the old sump cover. Its supposed to be a flat piece of aluminum, but it has to be torn off to be able to fit thru the drum slot opening.

This model had 2 drum vanes, one grey and one red. The red vane is the Lint Ejector vane, with openings for the lint/water to flow thru it..............

"Suds & Water Saver" You are supposed to set the red sliding lever to what the scale indicates the clothes "weigh". Love this marketing feature, in real life its pretty useless, but love it just the same!

Hi Jimmy ! So glad to see it up and running. Did you get the spin worked out? Have you started working on the dryer? Hope to see the pair (and you) soon. By the way didn't westinghouse have an ad about them paying for themselfs with savings ? I don't think this is what they had in mind ! | ||

beautiful
I am SO impressed by the work and the results. You pulled three cheeries on this one...I remember a friends mother kept a magnetic screwdriver stuck to the side of her westinghouse...she had to clean coins and other stuff out of the sump so often. The weigh-to-save function was useful in the West...we went through some pretty dry years in the '50s and early '60s. Even if the scale itself was unreliable as all get out, at least it gave people an idea. Question: How much aluminum is involved in the wet components of this machine? I would have thought manufacturers would stay away from it in a day when clorine bleach was used constantly?

Look closely, she has her mouth wide open and appears to be inhaling. The coins, however, continue on a ballistic trajectory. Hey, this calls for a song...
