Found this a couple years ago on eBay, paid $200 for it I think.

Nice - I love that little machine! I have two WD-5's, but paid a bit more for mine though.
I was thinking on re-doing mine in the WH paint scheme - does your ID plate say WH?
I had a heck of a time finding that bottle opener bezel - one of mine was missing it too.

Yes it is an original WH-5T. Can't I get the bezel from Fun-Tronics? That and the gasket is all I need, I bought a repro cap catcher already. I don't believe it had the Westinghouse script like the WD-5 did. I'm going back to original with this one. Nothing fancy, no extra chrome handle or kickplate. The only "option" I'll add is casters.

I believe it did (so I was told). To tell the truth, I have owned it for two years and have never seen it. I had my paint guy pick it up for me since it was local to him. The cooling deck is being redone/refinished as well by somebody else. I'll collect all the parts and put it back together.

Yes - I could tell it was an original WH-5T. I have two WD-5's with the all-red paint scheme, but I like the WH paint scheme. Just curious what the ID plate says so I can get it stamped correctly.
I could not get this exact BO bezel from any of the suppliers - had to buy an old Westy external cap catcher to get one. Been a few years though - matbe they have one now.
