Leon, what a score from NZ!  You've been on a roll lately ;-)

I just got home now myself, and I would like to say a big thank you to Kevin for hosting a marvelous wash-in!  I was thrilled to see so many old friends and make new ones too.  A very fun time that I will fondly remember.  Kelly, what an amazing cook you are!  Thank you for all the hard work and...

Here's a nice harvest gold Simplicity twin tub in Vancouver for anyone close by who may want one.  Brad Ross, are you in LA now?  Do you need another? http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/app/2933818705.html

Dame Edna loved this model!  Well, I do too.

Mickey, this is my favorite Frigidaire control panel as well.  You are a LUCKY guy to have this!  

These are just gorgeous Patrick!  Glad you took pictures of the progression.  I remember how hard all the scrubbing was on your hands, good thing you use Palmolive.  As Madge always said, it's MORE than just mild.  Tell me one thing though, why didn't you bypass the lid switch?  I tried and...

why the water is blue Jon, that's the Canadian glacial water that makes it's way down to Iowa.  Ben, great job!  I loved watching the progression back to factory new.

I'm on my way down right now to see all the wonderful changes to your laundry studio!  You're making me want a 1-18 more and more all the time Patrick.  Glad you found time to post all these wonderful photos.

this is true I imported an AEG spin dryer that is rated for 50 hz and I use it all the time.  Since there are no electronics, there are no issues other than running a bit faster than the 2800 rpm.  I just had to put on a new plug that works in our 220 15 amp circuit.

I wonder who this is?  Goodness, I turned one of these down that was in much better shape for half that price.  But... I could save on shipping LOL.

very nice Looks good Jan-Erik.  Which drum of Miele do you prefer:  the softcare "honeycomb" or the regular perforated?

Jon Yes!  They still sell Arctic Power.  However, they've taken the phosphates out now.  Still has the same vintage smell though.

the real thing This is the original photo I took of it.

It is a Canadian model, Tom, a reversing motor.  I still have that blue laundry basket you see sitting on the Viking washer next to it.

I took that picture Hmm, that was MY Speed Queen!  I took that photo (note my box of Arctic Power in the background)  It now resides with Patrick in Portland.  

the filter This machine does have a tiny pump that recirculates  water taken from under the wash plate into the filter.  There is also a pressure switch under the plate for water level detection.

controls Note the rinse options!  1, 2 or OVERFLOW yay

Having just come back from the Philippines, I'd like to share a washer that was briefly discussed before that I experienced there:  the Sharp stainless steel solid tub!  I first heard about this on RevinKevin's thread about his trip to the Philippines, a member mentioned these,  but there were...

so very sorry to hear this Was I ever shocked to hear this news! I'd just like to say that I'm remembering him in a special way. I was privileged to have met Terry and experience his warm friendship and many gift he offered. You will be missed Terry. Rest in peace.

That was an amazing rebuild Leon!  You have to be proud of this machine.
