    Remember when radio had personality? CKLW!

    Leonard??? Duracrest???

    In Australia if you could not afford the Kelvinator brand you could purchase the Leonard brand. Same as General Electric and Hotpoint here in the USA. One of the collectors in Australia has posted a thread of a Leonard semi-automatic washer he has in his collection, the one with the hole in the...

    Epic/Duet/Kenmore HE water level increase: Thoughts?

    More water I have a Frigidaire Affinity. Fills with barely enough water to wet the clothes. They also come out stinking of mold, especially the towels. At the moment I have remedied the situation by adding water through the detergent dispenser. Lugging the jugs of water is getting tiresome. How...

    Epic/Duet/Kenmore HE water level increase: Thoughts?

    More Water I need to raise the water level in a new Frigidaire Infinity. Everything comes out smelling of mold. At the moment I have remedied the situation by adding water through the detergent draw until it reaches the rubber seal at the bottom of the glass. Hauling the jugs of water is...

    Very old Simpson

    Strathmore And yet another Simpson pops up. I grew up in the suburb next to Stratmore, it may belong to the parents of one of the kids I went to school with. I think this is the automatic for which the semi-automatic model has the black butterfly wing knobs. My relatives still have it in their...

    Pics & my first Video of a 1968 Simpson Semi Automatic Fluid Drive Washer

    Simpsomatic Leon, Unbeleivable what is still out there in Aussie land. Great find. My experience with the simpsomatic was the model with the butterfly knobs. My brother in law's parents still own it and use it in their holiday house at Rosebud in Vistoria. Hard to explain the semi-automatic...

    Lightburn H Axis Twin Tub

    Hi Nathan, I am amazed at the finds you present us with. Growing up in Melbourne I am familiar with all the machines so far. I remember the Lightburn being used by the arnmy baseses because they would take a beating by the guys who used them. The Healing Thor Godess was only around for a short...

    Australian Kelvinator Semi- Automatic

    Jon, Yes, the perforated tub sits inside the solid outer tub.....Surpisingly enough this is the exact machine my aunty Hilda traded her pastel green Turner Sapphire for. It was built like a tank.

    Turner Sapphire

    Aunty Hilda Leon, I wondered who got the machine. It brings back great memories. My aunty Hilda lived in Box Hill and had the pastel green sapphire. I used to stay with her for school holidays. I could not wait till wash day. She had a briquette hot water heater so we had to wait for that to be...

    1950's!! Kelvinator Orbital Semi Automatic!!!

    Here is how the hole in the lid works, ingenious really. It is for a manual suds return since this machine is semi-automatic. First you spin out the wash water, this machine is like the old Frigidaire models where the pump is always running. You would need a double laundry tray so if you...

    Water

    I traded in the Frigidaire smaller model, 3.1 cu ft, never missed a beat in 5 years. It did fill up however to 1 inch below the front of the wash drum. Thanks for the insight, there must be a way?

    Water

    I have just purchased a Frigidaire Affinity front load washer, ATF6000ES. I am used to washing clothes with water, this machine seems to be void of same. Is there anyone out there that can tell me how to adjust the water level?
