I knew of this machine for a long while, so when it recently came up for sale I knew I had to act fast, so I bought it.. |

I am glad who I consider the "King of Westinghouse" won that auction! If you have access to a scanner, put the instruction manual on the website. I don't think I've seen a Westinghouse manual. |

That is one beautiful Westinghouse! I also got to see it at the 2008 Convention, and also at an Ohio mini-meet the year before. I also have one of the same model--only mine has 50 years of use on it! Mine belonged to an Aunt & Uncle of mine and I got it when they moved into assisted living. The Uncle had worked many years at the Westinghouse plant in Mansfield, OH and most of their appliances were Westinghouse at one time, think employees got products at half price at the company store they had back then. Here's a pic of mine, what yours would look like if it had been used all those years. Congrats again, and remember, You can be SURE--if it's Westinghouse!

But Lucy wants it back.
Possession is 9/10ths of the law, so too bad!
Congratulations!

Mine was avocado / white and the exhaust port was on the underside with a cover that would diffuse the air upward from the back. |
