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...

TOL Wilkins Servis @ QSD-Dan and Gansky: I'm pretty sure you're both referring to this one in Avocado correct? The Wilkins Servis 501 with the stainless steel tub and white agitator. Cheers Leon

One solenoid Hey John, It uses only one solenoid to engage and disengage the agitate stage. It does have two belts and the motor is two directional. Cheers Leon

Mechanicals For John and Ben, Best shot I have of the mechanicals is here. The base frame hides a lot. Will get more when I'm back at the shed. Cheers Leon

Hi everyone, I recently acquired this 1967 Stampco Fluid Drive automatic that were only ever made and distributed in Victoria Australia. This machine was from a deceased estate and even had the original owners manual with dates of the repairs up until 1987. The machine sat in the laundry for...

Welcome to the club! Hello Robin, Welcome to the club. From your pictures, you have some lovely machines there. I'm sure there will be many collectors on this site who will be only too happy to chat with you. If you'd like to see my own collection from Australia, please check out my own...

Some Centre Dials did make it to Australia Hi there, There were some Centre Dial Maytag's that made it to Australia, mostly as private imports. Maytag didn't really start importing machines to sell more widely in Australia until 1980 with the '10' series. I have an A207 that was privately...

Lovely! Hi John, That is indeed a lovely looking dryer! Cheers Leon

Absolutely lovely John These are lovely John, I remember seeing these in 2016 and if i remember correctly, asked if i could buy them off you to transport back to Australia. I can certainly understand why you politely declined! Cheers Leon

Thanks Chris Thanks for the offer Chris. Let me see what's wrong with them once i get them and i'll be in touch. Once works apparently, one was used for spares. Cheers Leon

Arrangements made for pick up Had a chat to the poster this morning and arrangements are being made for pick up next weekend. Cheers Leon
