Glad it went to you Hey Nathan, Glad it's gone to a good home! Nothing like a BNIB appliance. So happy for you! Cheers Leon

Australian Speed Queen's At least the Speed Queen top load washers for the Australian market give you the flexibility of a water level control AND they still have the proper gearbox in both the dial and touch control models: Cheers Leon...

Yep....seen them.before Yep, seen these before when I was a kid, friends mother had a semi automatic with that exact filter

I have one of these This is the same model I bought through John Lefever in 2016 and had imported to Australia and it now resides in our home. Overall, it does a very good job at washing and rinsing, is quick and very well built in my opinion. As Spinspeed has said, it does not have a...

Contact with Laurence has been made I had a lovely conversation with Laurence with the intention of adding this lightly used classic Australian built Hoover to my collection.   Cheers Leon

What a shame Hi Matty, That's disappointing to hear for you, I know it would have been a worthwhile addition to your collection. Hopefully you might still get some proper pictures and information to make a final decision. Cheers Leon

Looks good! Hey Matt!   It looks great. Glad I was able to assist in some small way.   Cheers Leon

Nice find Very nice find! I’d be cautious on what you say about other Australian collectors on this forum Charlie, they may just be watching and reading these comments in the background. These people have been collecting for many years and through their contacts have probably built up a good...

Last Blackstone desgined Hoover's Hi Chris, Nathan is pretty much correct. The last Blackstone designed Hoover's were the 940/950/955 series of about 1989/90. The Hoover 960 and subsequent 1000 and 1200 series dispensed with the gearbox altogether. From my discussions with 'Meadowbank' who...

Looks great Hi John, That's a lovely looking Whirlpool. I'm sure it will clean up very nicely. Cheers Leon

Different agitators Hi John, I'll certainly try some different agitators in the machine, I certainly have a few to choose from. As to a stainless steel bowl, I do know I have one spare in storage, but you're going to have competition as I know Greg (gansky) is keen on one too! Cheers Leon

Hi everyone, Wanted to share a recent completed project. The Maytag A806 was bought from John Lefever (Combo52) and imported back to Australia in 2016. The Avocado panels were also sent from John a couple of years earlier. I decided I'd like it converted to Australian 240 volts and...

This is my fully programmed KitchenAid I bought off Devin and brought back to Australia in 2016. This is running through the frequency converter I bought. Cheers Leon

Wow Ben! Wow Ben! Great restoration: your expertise always impresses me! Cheers Leon

Gearcase looks similar to a Simpson 'plastic bucket' Was just looking at the pics in reply #7 and the gearcase assembly looks very similar to what's inside the Australian made Simpson plastic bucket gearbox, which makes sense as I have service manuals stating the gearbox was based on a US...

Owner contacted Well, the owner has been contacted and I'll get some freight quotes while waiting for a response. We'll see what happens. Cheers Leon

Don't see this very often Hi Robert, I have sent you a private message about this: I would be interested in having a chat with the person. I will have to sweet talk David somehow in seeing how much it would be getting it across the Tasman from New Zealand to Australia, although I have done it...

You'd be most welcome Hi Rod, Please do! You'd be most welcome: I'd arrange for Nathan to be there at the same time too. Cheers Leon

I have one Hi Rod, Yes, I have one. You can see the pics on a previous post here. Cheers Leon https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?80769

Actually..I had one Hi Robert, I actually managed to pick one up many years ago, but unfortunately it was in very poor condition and too much work would have been done to get it working again. I have kept a couple of parts from it but the rest went to scrap. It's unlikely many others...
