These are my absolute favorite vintage machines, bar none. They fascinated me as a 5 year old boy and now they entice me because of their beautiful simplicity. I hope that you will be successful in getting them up and running and restored. And that you will enjoy having and using them. They are a real treasure. Congratulations on your excellent score!

I was able to salvage the fill tube from the donor machine. It is a weird shape and would be hard to mock-up. It goes from the Hot-Cold control to the tub.

Was the timer wouldn't advance. More timer problems! So I swapped out the timer motor from the donor machine. Anyway I thought I had tested it but it decided not to work either.

that motor on the left is from a Maytag but I think I can get it to fit into the base of the Westinghouse. The Maytag base gear it too big for the Westinghouse

of the machine on spin. It has gone through all its cycles on it's own and seems to be working. That repaired boot is working right now, but I don't think it will stand up. I post if I do anything with it. Happy days!

I can't find it now (of course), but there was a first rate posting on rewiring the motors used on a lot of these. A lubricant which turns to solid cement and motor windings with a near 100% failure rate.
When it's working, the timer is not at all stiff to turn, by the by. When we got ours, I doubt I could have budged it with a 2 meter cheater bar. Our dryer's timer works, thanks to Greg. But, oh, my, I think I put more time into the timer than the entire rest of the dryer together. |
