Brian,
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!

Here is some more good news 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.

A real major problem 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.

I still want to have a working backup 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

Here it is all together that motor works so I hope that timer is usable now.

Here is a shot 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!

Timers
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. | ||
