 Robert, I feel the same as you about this machine, even though CR was consistently giving Westinghouse washers from this period a rating near the bottom of the pack -- and that was back when CU did thorough testing and reporting. The money shot is very appealing.
Maybe you can get it cheaper without the free delivery if you can haul it yourself, or you could perhaps get it cheaper and still have it delivered. The ad is already more than two weeks old. | ||

I have this set
Mine are dated 1974 in avocado. It's actually a great washer that does a nice job. As mentioned before, very long spray rinse. Only thing I've had to do to it is change the belt and it runs like new.

Price
150 is a bit steep imo. Im thinking 50 to 80, perhaps 100 tops? What would you rate this washer? From the looks of it the washer appears rather new usage wise, so I may cave in. Only thing that stands out (and it might be the pic) but the bottom front of the inner tub looks rough in a few places? Hope its just the angle.
Ive read up on previous threads and it appears that the spray rinse is 2 minutes long, which I will take any day of the week. Only thing I can't figure out is if this machine neutral drains, spin drains or starts neutral and then a solenoid kicks in. Does anyone have a picture of the mechanism? OR a parts diagram for this machine? | ||

By todays standards this would probably be the best washer anyone could have! I mean considering the way most new top loaders operate now, other than the poor water extraction of course. | ||

I had a couple of these Westinghouse washers, one was pretty far gone when I found it but it worked and the other earlier model I sent out to Robert in Roanoke. They were good cleaning machines, both had the delicates-agitator and both were spin-drain models. With a full load, the extraction was better. | ||
