I’ll check him out! The Hoover keymatics have really disappeared, I saw one for sale on gumtree a couple years ago, never saw one again.

I got the price down! I got the price down, a lot, $40! The control panel does have a chip which is annoying. I’ll see if I have enough room to fit the 720. There is a Hoover zodiac 12 490 (pretty good condition) for sale for $80 somewhere in Melbourne, I’ll give you their phone number via...

Thanks John! I’ll keep that in mind, although I don’t think anything is seriously wrong with it atm.

Any transmission issues on Hoovers? Are the transmissions known to die on these machines? In fact is there anything I need to worry about (apart from the metal outer tub), looks like a Maytag inside but looks like a blackstone money shot, so I’d assume the would be really reliable, one thing...

The 650 is closer to me, by a fair bit. I will probably ask if I could get the 620 for a lower price. I like having a machine that isn’t 100%, it just gives me something to do, also the reason on why I wanted to get the Maytag, but the Maytag was too far gone imo. I’ve never had a Hoover top...

Here’s the Facebook link for the Hoover It seems pretty rust and not in the best condition Also more photos Wanting $150, but I think I could get it for less. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/419140123228507/?referralSurface=messenger_lightspeed_banner&referralCode=messenger_banner

Thanks gizmo I’ve found a Hoover 620 that is really close to me, if it decides to rust out, I’ll always have my Cleansmart. Is the suspension hung? Or is it some other way?

Autocorrect… Do the Hoovers have metal outer tubs? I am aiming towards an all metal machine, like a Maytag or whirlpool belt drive(I did find that one in razorback, the only issue is that it was in razorback)

I’ve never seen a Wilkins service on gumtree All I can find on gumtree are simpsons from the 80s and overpriced maytags, never seen a 50s Simpson or a Wilkins service.

I’d love a Simpson fluid drive I’d rather have a Simpson fluid driver over a Maytag, just that they have disappeared.

Bootsowen did that Bootsowen put legos in a washer, he also likes Miele. I wonder if that’s where they got their inspiration.

Is this still available? Lol, I do like the control panels of these machines.

I’d love to have them! Too bad that they are in a different country. These look very similar to the kleenmaids that we got, just more luxury.

Speed queens cost a lot They cost about $2,000-2,500, that’s why we use Fisher and paykel. I don’t think I am prepared to spend $100 on a questionable machine, they did say it washed fine but the tub wouldn’t spin at all. I’ve learned a lot about online shopping and how things look way better...

Rust is nothing for WD-40 WD-40 is awesome for rusty parts (surface rust) just as you never use it as a lubricant as it is a degreaser. $100 for a Maytag in this condition is a lot, I found a Maytag A9400 on the kerb and it was in better condition than this(just needed new belts), got rid of...

You can say that again People now think they can sell stuff for 50x what it’s worth, I saw in an old thread that @mayfan69 got a Simpson fluid drive for $5, now I can’t find any.

I don’t think Australia got the large capacity machines at that time, we did in the orbitals but I’m not sure about the helical.

I wish I lived in America! You guys are super lucky to have these machines!

I don’t do much washing I don’t really mind not having the flexibility of a 2 speed motor and choosing water temperatures, etc. I really do like the look of the commercial Maytags over the standard home ones. We mainly get the orbitals for sale in Melbourne, the helical are a lot rarer in...

Aren’t that scarce in Melbourne I tried offering them $40 (even that is a stretch for me) but they said they wouldn’t go that low. Also one bolt has snapped that is for that clamp that holds the top part of the tub on. The grime was another thing, I don’t get how people can sell dirty and/or...
