That may be the prettiest shade of pink I've ever seen.
Wow Chris, those bad boys (or girls?) look great! Did you shoot them yourself? If so, did you use rattle cans or a gun?

its all spray can paint.. its a Valspar color but the bad thing it only comes in flat but they also sell a clear topcoat and so far I have used 8 cans of clear but it does say you will need several coats so come next week ill put on another coat or so. I hate spray paint..

Glad you didn't. That's the kind of pink salmons are made of.
Early Westinghouse Space-Mates
Paint job looks great Chris and I think you got the color about right, Westinghouse s pink was not like other companies pink.
We are waiting for the videos of these interesting machines running. I still want to put the spin pulley from one of these smaller WH SMs on the full sized 3 belt WH Washers, doing so should up the spin speed about 50 RPMs as these smaller 25" SMs spun faster.

hey Andrew.. paul sent me a boot as a gift im not sure where he found this one but im glad he did it may have come from modern.. there used to be a Frigidaire boot that could be retrofitted into a westy but those are all gone too.. ugg.. hey matt, we all do our best and as for me they are as good as I can get them but honest there are other members who do such a better job than I could ever dream of and my hat will always be off to them
Door boot
That was an original Q4699, which is the correct one for a Space-Mate Laundromat. I found it when I was doing my first washer restoration (a l950 L5 Laundromat) - I also found that the Q4699 does not substitute for the Q4688, which was the real boot for the Westinghouse L5! Live and learn....
