During the episode we watched last night, they went to a junkyard for car parts, and the first thing my eye caught in the yard was this old Westinghouse. I don't know these well enough to tell whether it's a washer or a dryer. All I know is, if I was closer (they are in BC), I would definitely be asking about it.

I'll bet it was a stage prop. Westinghouse pain was so thin that it would have rusted away if left outside for any length of time. |

That's an oddball - similar but not like the 1956 L-9 I just picked up.
The door looks like an LB-6 / L-8 / L-104, but the bottom of the slant panel has the ribs like the earlier L-4 / L-5. The knobs too look very similar to L-8 knobs which leaves off the LB-6 or L-104. Maybe it was a hodge-podge of parts put together or a Canadian specific model (Paul's LB-6 equivalent had the ribs but the US model did not)? Ben |
