Ripleys believe it or not.... I thought the show was cancelled?

More pics, more pics Mayfan69, glad you have a contact, how many and what other brands does he have or you have that can tantilize my senses....I vaguely remember the Astor with the fiberglass solid tub. Astor another brand that has long departed, bad service record also. Are any of the Stampco...

Back in time Mayfan69 thanks for the share. I remember seeing this machine with both the Stampco and Turner name. Both machines had a bad reputation for service repairs. Every year Stampco had a booth at the Royal Melbourne Show as did the other washing machine manufacturer's. Working models...

Stampco Mayfan69, Could you please post a front on and money shot of your Stampco fluid drive? Do you have any history on the rise and fall of Stampco? I know the wringer washers sure looked evil....

Frigidaire semi-automatic This POD is from Australia. Every washing machine maker back then produced a semi-automatic washer as the bottom end of the line-up. There was generally a selector switch for either agitate/pulsate and spin. The second dial was a timer for the period of time you want...

more KSFO Here is a link to the stations past. Like all radio stations, the format of KSFO today has changed to "talk radio". http://www.bayarearadio.org/audio/ksfo/ksfo_sound-of-the-city.shtml

KSFO am San Francisco My partner was raised in the SF Bay Area during the 50's. KSFO and Don Sherwood ruled the air ways. You started your day with radio personality Sherwood. KSFO had a great station break in which everyone loved and couldn't get enough of, listen and see what I mean. Simpomatic

In Australia if you could not afford the Kelvinator brand you could purchase the Leonard brand. Same as General Electric and Hotpoint here in the USA. One of the collectors in Australia has posted a thread of a Leonard semi-automatic washer he has in his collection, the one with the hole in the...

Simpsomatic (not Simpsamatic) Thanks for posting this wonderful collection of washing machines that are truly an Australian icon. Machines of this quality will never be seen (or made)again. My screen name is Simpsomatic because of my facination with the semi-automatic with the butterfly control...

Thomas fabulous way to make a come back..........

Let's guess Let's see......I think we will probably see these in RevvinKevin's garage?

More water I have a Frigidaire Affinity. Fills with barely enough water to wet the clothes. They also come out stinking of mold, especially the towels. At the moment I have remedied the situation by adding water through the detergent dispenser. Lugging the jugs of water is getting tiresome. How...

More Water I need to raise the water level in a new Frigidaire Infinity. Everything comes out smelling of mold. At the moment I have remedied the situation by adding water through the detergent draw until it reaches the rubber seal at the bottom of the glass. Hauling the jugs of water is...

Strathmore And yet another Simpson pops up. I grew up in the suburb next to Stratmore, it may belong to the parents of one of the kids I went to school with. I think this is the automatic for which the semi-automatic model has the black butterfly wing knobs. My relatives still have it in their...

Simpsomatic Leon, Unbeleivable what is still out there in Aussie land. Great find. My experience with the simpsomatic was the model with the butterfly knobs. My brother in law's parents still own it and use it in their holiday house at Rosebud in Vistoria. Hard to explain the semi-automatic...

Let me tell you, ..........Marjorie my dear For every year here in the USA, yes we from the land down under had a similar model. Check out thread #18396, Whirlpool washer with suds saver. The model for sale was the TOL of the models available in Australia at the time the one for sale in the USA...

Hi Nathan, I am amazed at the finds you present us with. Growing up in Melbourne I am familiar with all the machines so far. I remember the Lightburn being used by the arnmy baseses because they would take a beating by the guys who used them. The Healing Thor Godess was only around for a short...

Jon, Yes, the perforated tub sits inside the solid outer tub.....Surpisingly enough this is the exact machine my aunty Hilda traded her pastel green Turner Sapphire for. It was built like a tank.

Aunty Hilda Leon, I wondered who got the machine. It brings back great memories. My aunty Hilda lived in Box Hill and had the pastel green sapphire. I used to stay with her for school holidays. I could not wait till wash day. She had a briquette hot water heater so we had to wait for that to be...
