more Cold Water cycle. Im thrilled to have this washer, looks like there will an ambitious restoration being started soon on both the washer AND the dryer. But it will be a wonderful set when its all done and up and running. Thanks Jeff!!!

Where's the drip dry cycle? A neighbor had this machine in her kitchen. It was pretty neat, but compared to most top loaders, very noisy with the loud solenoid snaps for the drain pump and spin.

Fabboo machine, Jimmy! Boy, they really thought of everything with those cycles, eh?

Congrats!

My first guess was that these were 1960 models, but looks like they are 1959's. Perhaps this model overlapped both years.........

Hi Jimmy, very nice find! Looks like its in great shape too. Have you rev'd it up yet?

Fab! What's a revolving agitator, Ethyl???

So Wonderful, and yes I have to agree with that! If ONLY Westinghouse would have used PORCELAIN on its tops! These were top of the line models after all.... Well at least they used stainless trim around the top, the panels do light up, and there is a lot of chrome. Yeah!

Early Westinghouse washer used for comparison. I happen to have this model too.

Hi Robert, have not tried it out yet. Hope to start on it later this week. Got to get that HOT water in the pump first to help protect those seals! I think this is going to be a rather easy washer to fix, does not seem to have a lot of hard use........

They can THINK (so you don't have to)...........

That is one gorgeous machine. Much luck. ENJOY!

Very nice TOL machine Jimmy. Thank you for posting the photos. Have never seen a control panel like that,in detail.
Have fun with those. I know how much you love matched sets!

Beautiful! there seems to be alot of timelines resurfacing throughout the club lately. I can't believe how many different cycles this Westy has.

Gorgeous!

That's gorgeous, Jimmy! What a wonderful control panel timeline system!

The blankets cycle is amusing. On mine, it fills and agitates for a bit, and then sits and soaks. It resumes agitation when it gets to the end of the wash. I think it was for woolen blankets that didn't need a lot of agitating. Still, the stops-and-starts are fun...
