POD 12/12/16

I was uncertain about the age of this washer. I was assuming that, based on the model's fashions and the 16-lb capacity that it was maybe 1967-ish; however, the ad includes a reference to Appliance Park - not Taylor Street. So I was confused. I did some looking through catalogs and I think this washer actually dates from 1970. The exact model (WLW2630) is not listed but similar ones are, with identical control panel styling. And the 1970 catalog has the Appliance Park designation, so that must be correct.

This one is not TOL, but is close. This catalog lists a WLW4800 and a WLW500 model - the 500 model is the Duo-Load model. Not sure how long that one was produced.

Checkrate/Likes The Hotpoint model shown looks TOL. Is/has anyone used this model as a daily driver?
