Oh thank you gizmo, but considering it’s your generic galvanised steel shed, I’m not exactly sure how to go about that,

Hey guys, I’m trying to figure out a storage solution as I want to put a machine away but it’s too big to fit in the normal shed, as the door frame is just a little bit too small. I thought about getting a Costco shed which would fit perfectly in the space But I don’t have the $2000 for it

Hey guys, I’m just wanting to get rid of my Maytag model 90s, one is in working condition but it’ll need a bit of work, the ringer isn’t fully sitting on its pipe, the Motor runs but the selector is jammed in the on position, the other one doesn’t have a motor and the drain spigot at the bottom...

Yeah, but I’ve seen the Simpson Malleys dryers with two lights and a push button, the push button would start the dryer and then the dryer would run until the clothes are dry I’d love to have that like a feature on my Westinghouse but that’s all electronics.

Yeah, as I know my West is literally a timer a hitting element and a motor that’s it and contact us that way the Motor contacts or timer Contacts are not switching heater current directly and the only cool down period My Westie has is five minutes from the end of the timer although surprisingly...

It does make me wonder if they’re still gonna be producing the 202 as I know that is extremely popular the Car Wash locations as you can have two loads washing while a third one is being rinsed and spun

I know for a fact that the dryer does have technically three settings, hot, warm, and no heat, the first two are used on the normal Dry settings, the last one is its own timer section

It uses a commercial laundromat style drum which was actually the reason why I wanted to get this specific dryer so instead of the clothes tumbling through the the airflow horizontally, the airflow goes from the heating elements at the top of the drum at an 11 o’clock position down to the 5...

Yes, apparently the thing has oven style heater elements, and the cool thing is I actually was able to electrically isolate the two elements, that way even though the dryer consumes 20 A, I can split it across two 10 amp circuits, and it’s a negative Pressure Dry, as in it pulls air through the...

Honestly I have two favourite dryers, one is my Australian made Westinghouse (Malleys made under license) dryer and My Simpson infrared dryer, surprisingly both take roughly the same amount of time to Dry a load of laundry, even though the Simpson does use double the the Westinghouse does as...

Found this on Facebook marketplace, apparently it needs a new control board but I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to make something that works for it Hope someone can save this Link to listing here

And now I’m thinking, what would be considered a fair and reasonable offer for at least one of the machines that I can use for Spares, personally I would want to purchase two that way I’ve got one that I can always try to have parts remade for to keep the other ones I have in working condition

Wow, I think that bock extractor you showed on Facebook marketplace is the same one as what that I own and have occasionally done maintenance on, it’s the kind with the asbestos brakes I do have some new old stock brake pads for the speeDry style, but I’ll need to do some repairs to the motor...

Hey guys so I’m a little curious, how do you guys find parts for your rare obscure or unusual machines? And how do you purchase old equipment from a laundromat? As I’m trying to find parts for my bock SpeeDry extractor that I’m slowly restoring, I know there is a laundromat less than 15 km...

Hey guys, I am so sorry I didn’t post any images up until now. I completely forgot until I remembered by looking at a completely different thread., I’ll post some photos of the Thor now and I’ll grab more photos of The Maytag 90 tomorrow, the Maytag is confirmed working but I’m not sure if the...
