I'm assuming the Westy in today's POD is mid-to-late 1960s. Hopefully someone in the AW family can provide more specific info.
Now, that's a proper console! Two--yes, two--large dials and a thoughtfully framed vertical rectangular window for the water level. Controls any young (or not so) washerhead would have a ball with: Dials to turn, pushbuttons to press and what may be a toggleswitch over to the right.
I choose to completely overlook any mechanical deficiencies the machine probably has, as well as a top spin speed that makes belt-drive Kenmores of the same era feel better about themselves.
Made it through another month, everyone! Congratulations and keep it up.
