Title: Need some help finishing my Westinghouse wd-5 Post by: bcharlton on March 20, 2013, 07:48:15 am Does anyone have pictures of how and to what the drain plug goes into for a wd-5? Also, is it (container) mounted on the condenser deck or off to the side? I restored my first one and just improvised but I want this one to be done right?
The drain has an "S" shape tube to it after it exists the tank and then has a 3" straight tube. Originally, did it pour into as glass jar and where and how does it get mounted? This project has only taken me 2 years and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I posted this picture because it's all I had. Eric McCay Did a great job on the deck Title: Re: Need some help finishing my Westinghouse wd-5 Post by: Roadman on March 20, 2013, 08:35:03 am Looks great BC. The WD5 is a great looking machine when restored. Mine needs a little re-restoration which i'm wokring on.

Looks great BC! One of my favorite machines! Title: Re: Need some help finishing my Westinghouse wd-5 Post by: bcharlton on March 20, 2013, 10:55:15 am That was my fear. That does not make sense that the cap catcher doubles up as a condensation pan. That is why many of the WD-5 cap catchers rust prematurely.
Thanks Collecture for confirming what I was hoping was not going to be the case.

I have two WD-5's - one catcher is rusted out and the other not. I plan on putting some sort of sealant/coating on the inside when I redo mine.
