Questions answered: Chris: Yes, that is a Semi-automatic Kelvinator in Photo #8 with the splashy 'orbital' action. As to the Gyro-aires: yes, was always aware you were not supposed to use them after the recall: they're for display purposes. I've always liked the design.   Fred: The 'Harvest...

Hi guys,   I've been working hard getting the shed to a point where it's nearly finished.   Some more decoration and placement of advertising material and it'll be finished.    Enjoy the pics.   Cheers Leon

Hoover FL & others @ Chris: that Hoover FL is indeed a prototype: given to me (along with the Electra) from Phillip who used to be a Hoover engineer. He's posted in the forum as 'Meadowbank'.   And yes, that is indeed a Wilkins Mark 72.   @Austin: will get you some pics when I'm next there...

US machines @Christina & Tim   You both have good eyesight! The back row of the shed has (mostly) the USA machines I brought back to Australia in 2016.   Cheers Leon

Nice Whirlpool Hi Tim,   It's a lovely Whirlpool: is it a 1500?   All push button machines are always great to have!   Cheers Leon

Hi everyone, Well you dont see this everyday: a brand new never used 1975 Wilkins Servis automàtic! I got this off our version of Craigslist and the best thing? It was FREE!! That's right the seller was giving it away: he bought it at an estate sale. Needless to say I jumped at the chance...

Control panel Hi Jim, I've sent you a separate email, I'd be interested in the control panel if no one else has expressed an interest. If you're willing to pack it for me, happy to pay for the postage to Australia if you'd be willing. Let me know Kind regards Leon

Wow! Hi Robert.   WOW....is all I can say! Absolutely impressive.   Fascinating to watch.   Cheers Leon

Stainless Steel Tubs Hi Fred,   The Stainless steel tub machines Nathan is referring to (and the one in the picture) are Australian made Hoover's originally based on the US Blackstone design but adapted for the Australian market, which is the reason they are different.   Cheers Leon    

The video doesn't lie The Maytag is far superior for rollover and i'll bet for cleaning results too!   I'd like to see certain members defend their precious 2018 SQ now.
