Look at the winning bid for this Westinghouse.  I've never seen one sell for anything close to this.  I just happen to be in the process of dis-assembling my WC60 so this gives me added incentive  '<img'>

Seems soooo high for one of these.

Most of them don't get restored by the pro's that often. If it is a good restoration that's not a bad price.

It was a very nice machine! this was auctioned by "Games People Play" over in MtClemens, MI. & I saw it in person, very well done restoration.    

A lot of people don't realize how much time goes into tearing down a machine & restoring it in regards to the body work,rust-repair, & paint prep. let alone rplacing missing parts, gaskets, & mechanical work & fasteners.etc.  

sure you can get a $300 paint job, but don't expect it to have any bodywork, dent removal, or (hardy laugh here inserted by paint-shop manger) rust repair.

& I just won a WC60MD on Greedbay for less than $50.00! local no less! I'll be picking it up Tuesday. & yes, pictures will follow.

Very well stated Johnie!

     Some people think that we just mask, and shoot paint........to achieve that newly restored look.

As Promised I snapped of a few pictures of my latest buy, ( and my personal favorite machine) a Westinghouse WC60MD select-a-matic, all in all a total of $50.00 bucks, compressor runs fine and quite, vends OK too, I ran out of memory card space on my digital camera, but it has a single price national acceptors 25- Cent coinmech, it takes quarters, nickels & dimes, no change given, & the racks are set up to vend bottles, But I do have a set of can spacers to swap into it, as well as another parts machine to donate any missing trim & bits....you always forget just how heavy one of these little monsters are until you have to move one again! Westinghouse WC 60's, 78's & 102's are built like a steel outhouse ( as are the LaCrosse uprights! compact & heavy.

Hi Josh - hope you are doing well.

Yes, it's the one I bought from you.  I'm finally getting around to cleaning it up.  I keep calling it a WC60 but the actual model is WB60-K6 D.  I don't know what distinguishes the WC from the WB.

John - NICE!!  Do you still have your 102?
