What a great way to wake up this morning----watching this video while sipping my coffee.
Great video, thanks for sharing it!

Love those old Westy T/L's. Those things were really aggressive-----another machine capable of washing "field-hands" clothes with ease.

Those Blackstone's are also fun to watch. And what a powerful fill spray and overflow they have! You know your clothes have been well-rinsed in those machines!

Sadly, if memory serves, the Westinghouse has gone to the great wash-in in the sky, so I'm esp. glad we have it immortalized on tape. I had never really seen one running in their heyday, and they're much nicer machines than I'd imagined them to be.

Re: Westinghouse washer

Westy I absolutely love the Westinghouse washer wish I had one like it. It has very good roll over. awsome video by the way. Danf.

Hi Dan. Glad you liked the Westinghouse. I have two slant fronts. The white one is from 1951 and the blue one is 1962 and a coin op, 25 cents a wash.

Re: Westinghouse washer

Thanks for the pictures of the slantfront laundrymats. The 1951 is the same one that my Aunt Hellen had when she lived in Genesee/Hickox, Pa. Remember when she would be washing clothes how I loved to watch that machine except when it would start to spin then it was time to get out of there. This was when I was very little about 2yrs or 3yrs old. One time I was on the toilet and of course the bathroom was were the washer was and it went into the spin and the thing would walk the floor and I went running out of the bathroom with my pants around my ankles it was going to get me. lol. I just love the westy slantfront washers they are the best and they washed very well. Thanks for your time. Danf.

Austin, thanks for another dream come true

I have never seen a Blackstone wash, and although we all have our favorites and are inherently biased, it is undeniable that the clothes are virtually flying in the Blackie way faster than in the other two comers. Look at 12 o'clock in the video where the suds are open. It's the Wizard of Oz. Auntie Em Auntie Em-- Ah my pretty !

Thanks so much; the video is wonderful!

And a treat for you if you didn't see it--the 1500 dollar Blackstone in the new thread has an awesome diagram in red of the cycle operation, pic # 12.

RAWWWWSSS OH ROOOOOSSSSSS I SPY AN EASY--A REALLY REALLY OLD EASY NEXT TO YER WESTY-- AND IS THAT A HAMPERFUL OF ALBS?

 

[westyslantfront]

Hi MickeyD. I gave that Easy to Nate (roto204) a long time ago but it was leaking transmission oil and had other problems, but Nate has another Easy Spin Dryer. And our new Tucson Contingent member, Justin also has one but he has to be back in Minnesota during our March Wash In.
Anyhow, you will see an Easy at Nates. Also, I usually have some church laundry around waiting to get washed and ironed.

Hi MickeyD. I gave that Easy to one of the other Tucson Contingent members, Nate (roto204) but it had alot of problems with leaking transmission oil. Nate does have another Easy which you will see in March.
Usually, there is always some church laundry around waiting for me to wash and iron.
