I've had these for years but never really done anything with them. I did a lot of work on them when I got them, I wonder if they still work...

I had it on regular but only had a few clothes in it so I think it might have had plenty of water in it.

that there is actually very little water in these clothes. Actually, almost nothing came out which is a lot different than the Kenmore.

The timers on both advance. There is a slight outer tub leak in the washer that might fix itself after it gets a little more water soaked. I hope so. I put a little plate down there for now.

what to do with these. I don't think they are too practical for a large family to be used every day. I might part with them. Anyway thanks for looking.

Agreed, that is a nice retro look. I like the Westy's, I would think they would serve you well. Very basic machines, but well built. I like what you did with the flooring. Looks nice. Barry |

Brian - very nice! I recall when you got these, back in the day. Enjoy them while they are ready for service and I'm sure you will have no issues finding a new home for them once you're done.

That's what I'm talking about!!
I LOVE the way the laundry room turned out! I wish these house flippers/home rebuilders/renovaters would take note of your work here! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the laundryroom and the Westinghouse pair look right at home in there! WOW... Thank you for sharing them GREAT pictures! :o) |

I like your Kohler Spruce Green fixtures. The washer is just like the one my mom got for Christmas 1955, when I was 5 months old. We had it until a new Westinghouse FL was purchased in 1964. |

Brian, such beautiful work. Northing short of the meticulous, thought-provoked, outstanding work you have a reputation for. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the original boot. I think all westy boots should be that color and not the grey. Such fond memories . Now I know the story of the low mileage machine
My dad had a cousin who lived outside of Las Cruces NM and when I was about 9 or so, we went and visited her. Her washer & dryer were out in a garage. It was a mid-50s Whirlpool Imperial dryer (I remember it buzzed) and had a center dial). She also had this washer. If I remember correctly, wash temp was provided by the timer's wash time length--hot, medium, warm and the other knob was 3 position water level.
