Pink '58 Westinghouse W&D Like New

[norgeway]

Im glad

Someone who appreciates them saved them...my fear was a scrapper would end up with them,or a dummy who thought he could use them in a rental somewhere...I lost a nice 1966 Motorola tv like this...it was at a auction in the mid 90s, The TV was a TOL Motorola color set in a Drexel cabinet..it had been in the conference room of our local power company since new, a bidding war started and it went for a lot more money than I had to spend..the idiot that bought it was going to use it in his summer house at the beach...im sure that didn't last long and it probably got scrapped, so when I see something like this I try to get the word out quick.

Congratulations on a great save!

Awesome save. Can't wait to hear that you've got them up and running. Hopefully you won't have to go thru too much to accomplish that. Maybe we'll even be lucky enough for you to post a video or two of your new babies!

Congratulations, Jeff!  I'll remember that 'historical society' story when sellers suddenly think they've got something that's collectible...

 

They probably still have some aftermarket Westinghouse laundromat pumps at Modern Parts in Parma, Ohio.  The business is still operating, as far as I know, since Larry passed away.

 

Great save!
