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?

Good heavens, what a beautiful set! Calling International Rescue!!!
A turquoise Westy pair! Ain't that the bee's knees!
I'm going to faint...
THUD!
I see a member has a bid on them already - wow, turquoise no less!

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.

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!

1958 Gold Bond Stamp Catalog
I found this at a sale today, has the ebay pair (in pink) and a picture of the WD-3 Westinghouse Combination washer/dryer - the second picture I've ever seen of Westy combo advertising.

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?!?!"

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!!!
