@ragnboneman Good question. As both sides of the driving mech are insulated with screws, you would think so! I have no experience in this however...

@brisnat81 All I see is an undercurrent of nasty behaviour and I guess I’m tired of pretending that I’m not noticing the appalling behaviour. I’d really appreciate it if we could end the association online and otherwise. I’ll continue to find my treasures irrespective of being told it’s not...

@brisnat81 I think I’m doing a pretty good job catching things Nathan. I expected you would comment now as you need to back up the sth end of the north bound camel :)

@maytag69 Leon, It’s all true. Cheers [this post was last edited: 12/1/2023-14:01]

@mayfan69 And everything I had said about you online was factual. Just the truth! You did say I was in a bubble buuuuut it’s yoooouuuu who’s in a bubble haha. I got two more fluid drives in one week! I’m so sorry Leon 😂 I know you wanted to store them in your arsenal. I just enjoy the machines...

@mayfan69 Leon, Being arrogant and possessive over an interest that everyone is entitled to have really highlights how ridiculous you are. You may choose to collect 10 of every machine and treat people with disdain and mockery off this forum whilst pretending to be nice on this forum but I...

Repairguy - very Yes! they sure are! One collector here in Australia has a lot of them but also buys up the same models over and over to prevent others from having one. It certainly stimulates odd behaviours amongst the serious collectors in Australia anyway lol. I was told I was living in a...

@ragnboneman I see what you’re saying, although these machines do seem to be washing away 60 years later without failing. They are the best quality with metal gears and parts.

@launderess Thankyou for the tip off. I did will the auction at $12! Incredible. I was told I was living in a bubble to think I’d get any of these machines by a certain person. And in one week I have bagged 2! Thankyou :)

@fluidriver Do you have any machines you’re willing to sell?

Hi guys, I was lucky to acquire my favourite washing machine first - the 1968 4 speed programmed fluid drive. I’m now looking for the first model Simpson fluid drive as pictured. If you have any leads.. let me know. I’m in Melbourne, Australia and price is not a barrier. I have included...

@adam-aussie-vac I bet there are a few.. me included!

Hey guys. My latest find is this Simpson Fluid drive from 1968/69(?) with a rather nice control panel. Would anyone have an instruction manual for her?

Great find! If you want to sell her at any stage, I’d love to buy it :)

Adam-aussie-vac Your collection sounds interesting. What vintage are they? I’m looking for a 1950s or 60s model.

@brisnat81 Ah! Well spotted! I used an image from the internet on the day… I couldn’t remember where I put pics of mine which I have up for grabs/swap.. I found one here. It’s in my storage facility. All restored a few years ago just before I found my second one. I’m wanting something...

@aussie-plugs Hi! Yes happy for you to see machine’s sometime. I only started collecting a few years ago. I want a Simpson flyid drive or old whirlpool from the 60s. ideally. It’ll take some years but if nothing, they do very occasionally come up on eBay Where in Melbourne are you based?

Hi guys, I have two doubles in my collection and thought I’d give this forum a go… 1970 GE Automatic Top Loader 1949 Bendix Automatic Front Loader If you have a double up I’d be interested in seeing if a swap might be if interest to other collectors

I have a 1949 Bendix I’m wanting to swap for another interesting vintage automatic washing machine that’s healing, astor or other Australian brands. Located in Melbourne Australia. For swap only. 0408373228

Thanks Darren and Mike Mike I did paint the outside in a rust proof white spray and the same with the black handles. I have a Parnal dryer to use with it which is also vintage from 59? I think. Videos coming soon! Darren - I’ll definitely be fastening her to the floor. After experimenting the...
