First she's mute, next she can only speak in his voice which is priceless, then finally she speaks.
What a wonderful washer. Love the Hotpoints with the Spiralators.
Hey, can an eagle-eyed member see what that the black panel in the middle is--are they controls? What a decked-out panel ! Do we have this machine in the doctrine files?
Laundress, how 'bout dem rollovers ';D

Left-to-right:
- Programmed fabric/cycles buttons
- Vertical panel is water level positions, with small rotary knob to the right of it
- Rotary water temp selector, three positions -- Cold Wash & Rinse, Automatic, Cold Rinse
- Timer
Honestly, Westinghouse essentially ended themselves and ruined their own reputation. Westinghouse in their infinite wisdom put the pump on top of the motor, if the pump developed a leak, it would take the motor out with it which is what took these machines out of service. There’s easily more Maytags from the 1960’s in existence than Westinghouse washers of this era, if Maytags from that era are still around, just tells you how terrible Westinghouse was.
Westinghouse and GE may have been in the electricity business, but they clearly had no clue especially in the laundry appliance department.

far more Maytags
There was probably at least 30 Maytags for every Westinghouse-at the dump in '82,maytags outnumbered Westinghouse 10:1 and it is still common to find 50+year old maytags-I have 1965 and '75 Maytags in collection

You're welcome cfz2882 & mickeyed.Looks like those early ramp agitators in these Westinghouse machines still did effectual turnover, despite that indexing tub. Unfortunately, they don't tell you how many pounds of water got removed from that bowling ball..lol
