Just saw this listed on Aussie ebay for AU$50.00. Have spent too much in the past couple of weeks can't really afford it, will see if anybody else wants it...

Keyplates!!!

Hi Leon its a snip at that price, you`d need a mortgage over here, last one went for over £100,

I`ve just noticed in your profile that you have a Servis 506 International Series top loader, is that the "Maytag" version or a UK version,?? any pics...

Cheers, Mike

Hello Mike...Wilkins pics for you

Hey Mike,

It looks like Nathan (brisnat81) is interested, so hopefully a member will get it!

And yes...the Wilkins Servis i have is the "Maytag" version. Some pics attached...

I have seen in person the "Mark 22" you want years ago and apparently not many were sold in Oz: i got chatting to an engineer who worked for Wilkins Servis and told me they suffered clutch problems, so doubt there would be many "alive" here anymore....which is a pity.

By the way Mike, my Coppertone Wilkins Servis Twin Tub finally arrived: will give it a clean before posting pics..

is Nathan bidding?

I am kind of interested but I already have one (not working), and I don't have any means of picking it up (only have my partner's little Barina to drive at present) so the timing isn't right for me at present.
I hope someone from this site gets it.
If someone else from this site is bidding then I don't want to bid against them.

I'm excited...

[arrrooohhh]

Im excited too!

Lets all hope a Solid Tub Simpson shows up in Sydney soon too!

 

[brisnat81]

There is an early bidding war

And I dont think I can even try to compete at the moment

Does anyone know who that bidder is, he's picking up a lot of that stuff, but I'm not sure who he is.

Heres hoping it was a club member....
