Notice that the washer is serviced from the back and not the front. Im not sure of the vintage year of these, but since the front does not come off, I think these are from approx 1969.........I do believe that later models had the removable front panel.......anyone know for sure????????

nice Westy TL set Jimmy! And they ARE Westy....not White-Westy. Very flexible machine with the four speed combos and the hand wash agitator....great for your unmentionables! Thanks for all the pictures!

Very nice Jimmy! I think they are in great shape!
Is the dryer electric or gas? I could not tell.
This is a great set!

OOOHHH Jimy, beautiful copper. Those were TOL I do believe!!

 

[filterflo]

Hey Brent! The dryer is electric. A gas Westinghouse would have had a little access door in the lower left front panel........

Coppertone Westys

Hi Jimmy, lovely machines you have there, and what a range of features!!! did any other make have the Agi over Agi??

What would the spin speed be about 600rpm??....looking forward to seeing these beautys in action in August!!!

Cheers, Mike

HI Mike & Mike! Yes both Westinghouse and Hotpoint had models with a double agitator, and GE did at the very end of the model run for their 1995 washers........other than that Im not sure if anyone else ever did that. Im not quite sure of the spin speed of these......but its certainly NOT ultra fast.....I believe you are in the correct range with about 600 rpm........

I think my Westinghouse pair is from around the same time as yours. Exact same cabinet and all with a hundred screws to remove off that back panel. Your pair must be TOL or close to it. Lighted panel too right? Those are really nice and so glad someone got those. Congrats!

Those agitators look like they were inspired by EASY's Swirlator design.

Great Westy Set Jimmy, Neighbors across the street had that same set in the same color. I remember them when I baby sat the kids(late 70's). Ran a load of wash through them while watching the kids. Neat action too and a slight index tub action too. I remember when using gentle spin the machine would spin first at high speed to extract the water then shift to low speed. The dryer has a great end of cycle signal too, comes on during the cool down phase and doesn't stop until the machine finishes the cycle - No short buzz here, just a nice buzzzzzzzzzzzz. HA HA! Enjoy them as they were a good machine!

Very nice Westys there Jimmy - love the dual agitators. Saw the matching washer recently at an estate sale, and of course they laughed when I inquired about the machine. Glad your set didn't become crusher fodder!

Very nice set, Jimmy!

Will these have a lot of "splash-a-lation"?

They looked like they were well cared for.

There was a higher end model washer that had a flurescent lighted panel as well as a matching dryer.I had the same washer a few years older than this one in avacado green.it had the fabric softner dispenser lid.I always wondered how Hotpoint legaly took away the hand wash agitator idea from Westinghouse who was the developer of them sometime around 1967.They had them on their high end models and they were also an optional feature you could purchase for an aditional charge.Enquiring minds want to know.Anybody know the answer?

I love this pair since they have features not normally found on "ordinary" washers! Ha! Such as the Weigh To Save lid, the dual agitators, lock and spin lid, etc etc. They both were quality construction...... Im not overly fond of the indexing tub, however the washer has great turnover and does a very good job of washing......the tub is large and deep....Westinghouse also made this design for Montgomery Wards for a while which was a much better and quieter design than the Norge based Wards washers.......This set was made in the original Westinghouse plant in Mansfield Ohio...

Tiny Load

On my Westinghouse washer (the green ones in the picture) the lowest water level setting is about half full. I'm curious about how much water is in the tub on the "tiny" setting.

I've learned that with this particular kind of machine with the ramp agitator and the indexing tub, it does actually do quite well if it's not overloaded. It's a really large capacity for both washer and dryer. I still think that's probably the best dryer I've ever used so far. Absolutely quiet! Would love any other pics or vidoes you may have and congrats again!
