Westinghouse Wash-In, just for me!

[mickeyd]

Hi Greg! That's a really cool looking towel in the Frig,

Hope to get some pix ready of the new Frigidaire before your tank heats.

The majestic Bendix--does that have the same colored lights as Jon's, blue, white, and sunset?

Would love to see your machines and meet your wonderful son and lovely beagle and make you the perfect clothesline.

LOVE that Westinghouse

with its healthy pile of suds! The way front load washing should be.

That's a great measuring cup on top of the Frigidaire. I wonder where that came from?? I found a gear for your model 50A as I was cleaning the cellar today, but I don't think it is the gear that you need. I found 50139 Main Control Gear. Interested?

Great pics, Greg. But how do you get anything to suds in your Maytag? I've tried everything! What do you use?

Phosphates to the rescue!

Louis - there are four combination washer-dryer units in the basement right now; 1955 Westinghouse Wash & Dry Laundromat, the Maytag washer-dryer, the GE Combination and, of course, the 1953 Bendix Duomatic. There is one more combo coming, a 1971 Kenmore from Tucson that Roger is bringing in September.

Eugene - That is a 1964 A900 Maytag - all button control.

Fred - I would be interested in the gears for the 50A, I never turn down spares for this rare of washer! Thanks!

Mike D. - It's hard to see the lights in photos, but they are colored, just like Jon's Duomatic. Gotta love the lights! We're hosting a wash-in here in September (see thread in the Super forum) so get a plane ticket and head on out!

Mike K. - I did get a new water heater, but it's a dreadful slow thing. Underpowered for it's size, I think. The clothes all were out on the lines bright and early Saturday morning, then I did all the bedding wash this morning so the lines are full again!

Rich - I added a little STPP to the wash-potion in the Maytag, I used the last of some Arm & Hammer Essentials liquid which probably helped make more suds too.

Greg,
You machines look fantastic as usual!
So much fun!
Did your old hot water tank fail? I know you liked it, because it had the higher temp thermo. for the "HOT" like the old Tanks. What brand did you replace it with? The "Whirlpool" Gas water tanks are built in TN. The HOT is like the older tanks. Hot is really HOT! I don't know the exact temp, but I had to replace the one I had, and I was shocked that you could still buy a tank that would get this hot. The tank was built to withstand temps 200 degrees above the highest water setting on the thermo.
It also heats very fast!
Nothing like super hot water!
Brent

Re: Westinghouse Laundromat

Gansky1 Your Laundromat is just like the one my Aunt Helen had when I was about 2 or 3 years old and I loved to watch it wash and rinse but not spin as it would walk the floor and it scared me. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Danf.
