Re: Westinghouse washers

Theses are my all time favorite next to a Norge product. Great pics. In fact they tie for first. I like the slant front of the washer gives it a character all its own and unique. Westytoploader has a round washer from a laundromat the turquiose machine. I think that is a real cool design and the town that I lived in, in New York when I was growing up put the round Westies in one of the laundromats. Don't know if its still going because I havn't lived there for fourty years. Danf.
 
Re: Westinghouse Laundromat

I was wondering since the washer has a slow spin speed could a different motor say a 3/4 hp. motor be adapted to it or would that be a blasphemy to do that? Just wondering. Danf.
 
Re: Chris & Norgeman:

Chris, I didn't want to take over your Posting, without commenting to you first. Congratulations on getting your great Westinghouse Slant-Front Washer operating again. I love those Washers best of all. One of our Neighbors of long ago, had the Matching Washer and Dryer, of a later Model Set and the Dryer was the one that Plays "How Dry I Am" when it was completing the Drying. The Windows had the Blue Diamond look around the Window area of Decoration backgrounds. When they moved, the Husband took them to the Dump, because the Timer had gone out on the Washer. I wanted those Machines so bad, but I was afraid that my Parent's wouldn't allow me to get them. Actually the Washer Timer, just somehow pushed in to "Stop" once in a while and she had to come out to the Garage and pull the Timer Knob out again and hold it for a short time, to get it going again. OH! How I wish I could have gotten them, I would probably still have them operating now.

Peace, Fun Laundry Times in your Westinghouse Washer, Steve

Norgeman, I believe that you meant to say that "Westyslantfront" Ross in Arizona has the Blue Round Cabinet Coin-Operated Westinghouse Laundromat Washer.

Peace and Great Laundry Days, with a Slant-Front Westinghouse Washer, Steve

well its not that she runs slow its just her top spin speed is on the low end but the items washed come out good and dry.. i sort of worried about that but its just fine.. and yes this child will only be doing lite things like socks ect ha ha.. yea i guess now the whole world has seen my under pants oh my.. thanks for all the kind words.. big hugs from st lou
 
Fine looking machine

The spin is nothing to write home about but thy sure do wash gooood
 
Chris, Congratulations! She is a beautiful Westinghouse. Is she more of a Wanda or a Wylene? There is nothing wrong with giving her a place in the living room. A long awaited dream come true deserves a place of honor. When the Laundromat was introduced, the shape was described as like a Governor Winthrop Desk. So even if she is not a piece of living room furniture, she has a dignified furniture shape.
Have fun with her!

Chris... I am so happy it all came together, especially after receiving the other changer with the box damaged in shipping.

You really have the "magic touch" don't you. Great machine!

My congratulations to you Chris for such a great accomplishment on such a fantastic old machine. I've always loved the old stant fronts and the shape and tilt of the washbasket.

Great to see one of these machines brought back to life. Mine is a total basket case in appearance but I know it's got potential because I've used it as my main machine, albeit many many years ago. I'm just not the guy who is going to tackle this restoration job. Good to know the boot can be retro-fitted as I was so sure the bad boot on mine would be impossible to replace and thus relegate it to the ranks of parts machines. Now I feel that whomever ends up with this old gal can make her viable again.
 
Chris!

Hey Bud, wow when do i get to see that thing in action? Ok, you thought i was the funny one but looks like i have competition. lol Great Job! Let me hear from ya.

Westinghouse Slantfront

WOW, Chris. Way to go!!!! It's a beautiful machine. I love the way they operate -- and they're so quiet. Your work is superb. I'm delighted for you.

PS The underwear is great, too. Last time I saw you in yours, seems like they were gray.
 
Re: Changer:

Courtney, "c'villewasherbo" since no one else has replied to your inquiry, I thought that I would. As far as I know, the Changer in a Westinghouse Front-Load Washer, was also known in most other Washers as the Gearcase or Transmission. It is also used similarly as to a Gearcase or Transmission, to "Change" the Speed of the Basket/Tub from Tumbling to Spinning. I hope that this helps you to better understand what the Changer is and not being a Coin Acceptor and/or Maker, as one might think of or assume.

Peace and Kind Regards, Steve
