Those are beautiful

Whooooa, a 1958 L-110 Westinghouse Laundromat set in turquoise no less. Those are incredible. This will be an interesting auction to watch. I wonder what the condition of the washer door boot is?
 
Holy cow!!! I believe that model was the last year of the slanted tub in Westy front loaders. I love the styling - one of my favorite Westy washers. And a matched set in Turquoise, no less. Calling Mr. Jon Jetcone!!!!!
 
Repairing them

Ok Im somewhat mechanical and the repairs sound simple to me, but could these machines be worth fixing for normal use again? I would think so but can you still find parts?
 
I think Jon Charles just had a stroke!!!

Richie, this was a 1958 model. Westy slant fronts were still offered up until 1962 or 1963.
 
Hi Bob...I said slanted tub, not slanted front. ;-) I think it was 59 that Westinghouse put a true H axis tub in their slant front washer...the program computer Laundromat.
 
Wow

Those are awesome! Turquoise is my all time favorite appliance color. Someone please save them!

So near... but yet so far!

The first set of classic machines I've seen locally since moving here to Phoenix... but way beyond my my reach as far as repair. Wish I had the knowledge (and the tools) which would allow me to get them back into shape!
 
Great Ad Greg

It is so cool to see these. I always wonder how many people actually got appliances from the books.
I remember my dear Grandmother was saving her books to get a window unit air-conditioner. My Grandfater told her that this was the only way they would get one, because he felt they were a waste of money.
Well, she was just 1/2 book short, and they quite the Gold Bond Saving program. She was so upset. Really upset. So much so, that my Grandfather when to Western Auto and bought on credit a Wizard room air-conditioner. That this was huge, and was so darn cold! You could not stand to be in that living room for very long!
Thanks for the post.
Did they have any stamps and books there?

I don't remember stamp-book collecting and the prizes very much, they weren't as popular around here I guess. I'd never even heard of Gold Bond stamps until I saw this catalog. I rememeber S&H Green Stamps, but almost never see any books or catalogs at sales here.

The lady with the combo has a look of "This tiny pile takes THREE HOURS?!?!"
 
Westy Slants Fronts In Phoenix

Hi guys. Nate is in Pennsylvania till Wednesday. I emailed seller to see if Roger and I can drive to Phoenix to check out machines. Nate, Roger, and I have limited space and I already have two Westy slant fronts but I would like to check out this pair in person
 
Westinghouse L & D 110

These are really neat machines- Hi everyone, Robert here, I bid on them this morning- but if the price goes out of my range, I am really happy to know that these, along with the Wash-n-Dry Laundromat still really exist!!Who is Sneaker?! I am of the opinion that these are 1957-58 The L100 series was 1956-as the L100M- (the M series went to 3 belt, but the early cheap models, LS7, LS8, L104, had the 3 belt system too) But my L102 has a speed changer...hmmmm... who knows how to date these by serial code?!?I would really love to add these to my FAMILY!!!
 
Well if I had known this auction was going to create such a furore would have left everyone to their own devices! *LOL

Cannot belive bidding went from $10 several hours ago up to the current amount. Hate to see members bidding against each other, can't you boys play nice? *LOLx2*

See the seller has revised his auction several times with answers to queries and other information. Must be he is getting lots of emails.

Best of luck to all bidders/members.

Launderess
 
Turquoise Slant Fronts

I have bid on the pair but I have a feeling that the price will go sky high. Still a week left for bidding. I have emailed the seller to see if Roger and I can drive up to Phoenix to look at the machines. Whether I win or not, at least they will get a new home and not go to the crusher.

Perhaps next time :-)

I'd gladly ditch the "spin, damn you" Kenmore-of-Hell and go for these, even though I need a dryer like a hole in the head right now. Serious kudos to Ross for attempting to go for these guys (see what happens when you wander off to Pennsylvania?!?).

But it looks like the price is going from manageable to "gotta have it," so...

Good luck to whomever gets those! They look extremely cool and rather like the "Program Computer" POD that floats around.
 
Congratulations Jason (HQOTS) I know you will give them lots of lve, tlc, and they will look show-room new by the time you're finished with them. A BIG WOOOOOFFF!! to ya!!!
 
I fondly remember Green Stamps, Red Stamps, and even Blue Stamps from when I was a little kid in the 60s.

Back in the days when "saving up for something" was the norm, and people weren't in debt up to their eyeballs. It was always fun to save up for something; when you got it, it was more of a special occasion. Instant gratification makes everything seem bland. In fact, that may have something to do with the "bland trend" in modern appliances...?
