Westinghouse Spacemate Washer

[countryford]

Found this Westinghouse washer on craigslist. If someone is intrested in this, I can pick this up for them. I've already sent the seller an email. I'm also curious about the G.E. kitchen

Cute little washer

Here's a panel view

Looks like they separated it from a Wonder Kitchen.  Hope it finds a good home, as does that kitchen!

Does this one also dry I'm just wondering
I'm looking for a combo to add to my small collection

No it's just a washer only.  

 

While the true "combo" does pop up on rare occations, you won't see many out there very often.    With the exception of European and Asian brands, the last one built in the USA was about 1972.  

 

Many brands tended to be tempermental or problematic due to their design.   Combine that with the fact many service techs didn't like to work on them, many were simply hauled away and replaced with something else.

 

This is a thread I posted 3 years ago about their history and survival.

It is now in my possession being held for someone.

stating the obvious

That model did not come in turquoise originally. In addition to being very attractive, it might just have a painted finish that will not rust easily.
