Nice set Very nice set there: they look clean and well maintained. 'Ugly'....methinks not! Cheers Leon

Great segment! Great segment Jon! You've represented all of us exceptionally well! I'm sure they filmed a lot more, but like any TV story, it has to be edited. I'll be posting links to two TV stories I've been filmed for here in Australia in the coming weeks. Cheers Leon

Wide body Keymatics Hi Keith, Nice pamphlet: please see the link to an older thread and 'Meadowbank's' explanation on why the wide body Keymatics never made it to market here in Australia. He was an engineer at Hoover Australia. Cheers Leon...

Link to the segment here... Hi Jon, For those of us not in the USA, please post a link to here once it airs, will be very keen to see how it all turns out! Cheers Leon

Love the video Mike Love the video Mike! Nothing like the sound of a Keymatic in action! Cheers Leon

Matching dryer Hi Brent, Thanks: very happy it's working. I've never seen a matching Thor dryer nor can I remember if Thor even did dryers. Cheers Leon

Hi guys, A short clip of a dry test of the Healing / Thor Trimatic. The motor and pump shafts just needed a bit of manual turning and all seems fine at the moment. Next will be a water test in the coming weeks. Cheers Leon http://https//youtu.be/fxnHtUgIQho

Two washers Hi Bob, The two washers are exactly the same: owned by a brother and sister who lived very close to each other. And good spotting there Bob! It is indeed a Harvest Gold Montgomery Ward dryer that was owned by a US diplomat when they came to work at the US embassy and left the...

Hi guys, Well, after many delays, these two quite rare machines arrived today. They're an Australian version of the US Bendix Powersurge Washer. Both came from one families deceased estate. One still in very good condition as you can see and was still sitting in the laundry. The motor and...

I quite like the BOSS Hoover's To tell you the truth, I quite like the BOSS (Balanced Orbit Suspension System) designed Hoover's like the 2300L in your picture. Yes, agreed: not as sturdy as the older Hoover's with the cast iron gearbox, but there are still plenty of these BOSS washers working...

Agreed Kenny Agree with you Kenny.....not very helpful and just a tad rude as I see it!

Very nice! Hi Jon, Very nice indeed! I've sent you a private email as i'm keen to know more about these models here in Australia. I was under the impression these were not going to be sold here for a while. Are these domestic versions or the home style laundromat machines? Cheers Leon

Drain periods! YES: it's a VERY long drain period! My arm was getting sore pressing in that button all that time!

Components Hi Nick, Thanks for the link. As to if some of the components were US sourced, I can't honestly say, I'd have to check some of the components themselves. Nathan (Brisnat81) might have a better idea. I do know the Australian version has a transformer @dadoes: Yes, I think it...

Hi guys, Well: here's the video for the Aussie made WP 2299. It's been edited slightly and I haven't yet finished bypassing the lid switch so you'll my arm invade the video for spin. I also finished the video in the first spin before the 2nd rinse. Enjoy! Cheers Leon <iframe width="560"...

Great work Great work Jon. That's a lot of work you've done. Cheers Leon

Warm wash Warm wash is automatically pre-programmed into the 'Regular/Heavy' cycle. I've not tested the other cycles as yet: just the regular cycles with an extra rinse option. @washer111: from repairers that I've spoken to who worked on these machines, the touchpad controller used to give...

Hi guys, I recently acquired this Australian made Whirlpool 2299 fully Electronic control washer from 1979. It came from an estate sale and is in lovely condition: working very nicely too. This is the same machine that Dame Edna advertises in this old advert. Videos to come. Cheers Leon...

F & P Top loader's Further to what Nathan said, authorised F&P repair guys that I've spoken to like and rate the Top loader's highly, much more so than the front load machines being made out of China. The top loader's are made in Thailand. Cheers Leon

No WP washers Hi Steve Yep: no more WP washers for the Australian market. Cheers Leon
