Something Rare!

So what about this? It's only 4 hours away from me...any idea the year? Is there someone in the Bay Area closer to this? It should stay in the "family!"

My guess is it's dangerously close to 1970, but... just a guess.

 

Damn, that would be cool to add to my collection... since I have a Westinghouse front loader (or 3).    

But alas, it's too far and I'm out of space!

So what are these things like on the inside? I'm concerned about an indexing tub that makes me dizzy...and is that a "weigh to save" indicator I see?

Yes, indexing tub and (I assume) a spiral agitator, maybe something like this........

It would be a fun addition to my collection, but what would I have to get rid of to make room..? The problem is the darned old pool house is too narrow to have machines on both sides -- I'm not as thin as I used to be!!

Run! These are fun washers - my guess is this is later 70's by the panel "W" logo, possibly early 80's? Looks like TOL, would have the spiral agitator and handwash agitator underneath. Lots of water (no guilt!) spray rinsing for days and indexing spiralations - who could ask for more? Good luck!

'70s westy

weird to see"white westinghouse"on a coppertone washer-might be 1975-76? i found a
'70s westy once that had a solenoid-actuated tension pulley for the clutch belt
to allow a neutral drain and the same washer also had a black bakelite 4-port
turbine pump resembling a filter flo pump in black instead of the more usuall white
polypropylene 3-port centrifugal drain pump.Some '70s westys also have that pretty
blue ramp agitator..

Sweet

That is a nice machine and a rare prize as well. You should grab it and enjoy it for a while. I would certainly not replace any of your existing collection with this. Tolerate it as long as you can and then perhaps WILL it to another member that has the room.

(Drop it in Gansky's front yard at 3 am and drive like a madman)

VERY RARE LATE 1970s WHITE-WESTINGHOUSE WASHER

It is differently after 1976 as it is the unshaded copper-tone color and could even be real early 1980s. It is certainly rare as WW was not selling well and quality control was the pits so that the few that made it out of the factory did not have a long life. We were as now servicing all brands of major appliances from the mid 1970s on, and we never saw much from WW in regular washers and dryers. The main thing that we did see were thier FL washers and thier FL stack machines during this time period.

If I was out there, I would BUY IT!!!! That is one of my FAVS!!!! OMG!!!! DARN WEST COAST!!!

That's a pretty cool washer, Todd!  Notice the 70's incarnation of the 'weigh to save' lid scale on it??   I had a similar one (with the matching dryer!) in Harvest Gold for a couple of years and have bitterly regretted getting rid of it....    You have motive and opportunity.... LOL
