Ooops, the link was removed by the seller.... After Kevin went that and picked it up! It's sitting in my laundry room, waiting for a new door boot and maybe a new belt.

I had a set identical to this set that we bought new in 1987 for $995.00, I still have the handwritten receipt. This White Westinghouse washer was the very best automatic washer that I ever owned. It gave us 7 years of trouble free service, and we sold it with the home, and the new owners continued to use this set for many years as well. They were stacked in a narrow W/D closet. Hope that you enjoy them as much as I did. BTW, ours did have the reversing tumbling action, and never had a tangled load.

you'll like the no-nonsense spin cycle that kicks off with a bang and a rush of drainwater down the standpipe :) | ||

well, in this case it kicks with a bang and then squeaks and slowly (very slowly, I mean really slowly, slow as hell if you understand what i mean) ramps up. | ||

Need some parts for this W-Westinghouse washer!
Yes I bought this W-Westinghouse washer (only - no dryer) and dropped it off at Thomas' place... because he does NOT have enough machines jammed into his laundry room! LOL
Model #LT280JXD1. I assume it's a very late 70's or early 80's model as it has the older 2 (3?) belt design with the "potato" pulley and continuous one-direction rotation, but the later control panel design.
While it does work, this washer needs a few parts: It desperately need a new tub boot (it's badly torn) and new belts. As Thomas noted above, it "ramps up" to the full, 450 RPM spin speed at a more-than-extremely-leisurely pace, much slower than I remember.
I seem to remember some years back there still being a supply of these tub boot somewhere??
Also, while the belt driven pump works perfectly, are pumps for these still available?
Thanks in advance for any and all help/info! Kevin
