Simpson 12X series money shot!

Simpson 124 This one saw the lovely blue contral panel again replaced with a woodgrain finish.

Model 105 I found this lovely looking 105 model Simpson. It had 4 rocker swithces, allowing the user to select a heated wash and select speeds indepentantly of wash cycle. However it was in very poor condition and unfortunately, I had to take it to the tip as I have moved into a new place...

Money shot

The 100 generation This series was introduced in 1976 and was a more radical departure is design. The lid became a rear opening type and was large, larger than any other manufacturer at the time. It had an overhanging lip as a handle and an intregrated angled control panel. It must of looked...

Money shot Washbowl and agitator for the "80" series machines.

Opps. My bad. I thing I got confused with the machine being from 1974. So the Maytag design is as early as 1966? Wow. I really have to follow up with the National Library and the Mingay catalogues! Can you share a pic with us?

Simpson 83 Simpson 83

Simpson 74. The Maytag design was changed for these models, made between 1973-75. The gearbox was changed to a flying saucer shaped design, and the washbowl got larger.

Into the 70's. In 1970 the Fluid drive had a big cosmetic upgrade to this sleek looking machine. Control panel was upright, slimline and had a nice chrome/metallic finish. This machine would be made until 1975 largely the same, just with a blue finish control panel, then a woodgrain finish...

Leon, Love the advertisement for the Fabulous 89. I have only a copied black and white advertisement for this machine. Your colour advertisment is great. I love the blue control panel, the crome and the girl is quite cute, in a 70's Nana Mouskouri kind of way.

Chris - somethiong truly special about those machines. Compared to todays all white models. Electrolux please listen, a bit of colour on the control panel would go a long way!

1968 model. With nice woodgrain control panel. Again belongs to Leon.

Same series But this one you selected speed, time and temperature yourself.
