We lucked out on our forage today! This is what we found. I think it's a 61 or 62 but not sure. (Steve Gyrofoam Riley, Me & Lady Kenmore Robert) Mark

Wow guys...at first glance I thought it was the matching washer!!! I was just talking about that machine to Greg...in the ad where coins are flying into the lady's apron. One of my dream machines, that's for sure!!! And it has the infamous door rust problem too...OY! They should be ashamed for not using porcelain...

Great find guys...now on to locating the Laundromat twin! :)
 
Great find Mark! Im sure there is a matching washer out there somewhere for you to mate with this......I found something similar last week. Will post pics of it when I get a chance.......Yours looks to be in pretty good condition...Does it work OK?
 
Hi FilterFlo! The dryer has a blower problem like many of these dryers did. Easy fix though. It runs almost silently and seems to be very well made. It is too bad that they didn't use more porcelain in these machines. My goodness, when the DRYER rusts, that's pretty sad. Mark
 
LOL!!

That's fabulous!

I believe I have the matching washer, and just got it last week :-) It's my new acquisition, and haven't gotten around to posting about it yet...

Wow...great news Nate if you're not joking! ;-)

I would love to have one of these "slant-front-straight-tub-potato-pulley" machines...interested in a trade with something I have? ;-)
 
That dryer is not newer than 1960

According to my research Westinghouse stopped using the plain W with the line under it in late 1960 or early 1961 and went to the current W with the dots on the points. I also know this because we had a 1960 Westinghouse Fridge at our summer cottage that was put in the kitchen when the house was built in 1960 and it had the same emblem as this dryer.

What a great Westy dryer. The panel is very similar to the model my mom had when I was very litte except hers was not as raised and the control panel was mostly turquoise but exact same timer knob.
