Wow!! The machine in Blane, MN  looks like a 60, how do I find out for sure?

I am 99.9% sure the Blaine, MN machine is a WB(C)60. The way to tell is the sign up top - look at the most recent link above (halehouse) - it is a WB(C)78. Now compare it to the Blaine, MN pic.
The Blaine, MN machine is not a light-up though - I think he is high price.
Keep looking - I found my WB60 on CL locally for $100 cash and carry.

I think these Select-o-matics are great, especially the two smaller versions.  There was one, a 78, about 5 miles from me last summer that I checked out. It didn't cool and had a lot of surface rust. Was firm at $400 which I thought was too high for that one.  I would take one if I found one close by.

I agree, Dan.  One thing I've noticed after messing with my WB-102 is the way they were built.  To me, Westinghouse built these things to last.  For example, it has been SO nice to have every screw not being the standard phillips head (we all have had our own experiences with trying to get those out after 40 years of rust).  The screws in this machine are slotted hex-head, which has meant I can use either a blade tip or socket.  When I tore the machine down, I didn't have one stuck screw.  All the other stuff has been pretty rugged too.  The only thing that's been really challenging is the wiring - there is a TON.
