Yes he did, I bought it..

Hi all, I recently took delivery of a number of machines, spare parts, brochures from a washer repairer that I first met 20 years ago and has now had to sell his property and business due to ill health. I managed to secure 4 Wilkins Servis automatics (yes, the Maytag cloned machines in case...

Kelvinator connection with Maytag Hi Chet and Dave, I'll try and give you a timeline of the connection between Kelvinator and Maytag here in Australia from the information that I know. Kelvinator existed as their own brand here in Australia and produced the 'Orbital' washer from about 1958...

Bendix pair Hi Nick, You are correct! It's a 1980s Bendix pair. They work well I have to admit. Came with original manual and service receipts. Cheers Leon

Lovely to have you at the shed Hey Paul, It was lovely to catch up with you and Chris this week and for you to visit the shed. Glad I was able to help with getting you nice clean clothes again! Lol Here's the pic of us together. Cheers Leon

Congratulations Keith! Congratulations Keith! It looks gorgeous! I look forward to seeing more pictures and videos AND maybe even in person, possibly next year.

240 Volt Hi Tom, the heaters are connected to 240 Volts. Cheers Leon

That's my Electronic Whirlpool That just so happens to be one of my favourite machines in my collection. The Malleys Whirlpool 2299, made in Australia. Even Dame Edna Everidge advertised it!

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
