Vintage washer at an estate sale

[drh4683]

This is at a local estate sale, photos are from the estate sale ad but cannot tell what this machine is. Anyone know?

Ignoring the ugly Maytags that are featured in this next photo, you can see part of the vintage machine on the right.

mystery machine

It's a Westinghouse.

Any ideas what year it is?

"ugly Maytags" ...?

That's definitely the TOL model--5 wash temp combos and 4 speed combos with panel light and wight-to-save lid.  Looks like 1965-1968 I'd guess.

We had one of these at home.

Pretty sure it was the mid 70's, but I could be mistaken.

Do you know if it is still available, Doug?

Cool Old WH TL Washer

This is 1969-1974 range, it is very rare to see one of these survive as they were generally very short lived.

I'm going to the estate sale this morning. If its still available, I'll see if I can save it.

Here it is, they want $175 for it. I did not buy it, but I could if someone wants it and can pick up from me. It looks to be in good shape. Very slight rust under the lid on the machine. Model#LA670MXW2. Ser#LML27311. I have better photos available later.

That machine is 1969-1972 range, before that the style of the control panel looked like the what is in the 1965 service manual that was posted in the Dispenser here a month or so ago.

This one is not quite TOL as it does not have the florescent panel light.
