Servis

Mike
As you well know I am up there with you on the cynical front, but this second machine is in Wigan, the previous one was just north of London, and this seller seems to have reasonable feedback - they like WW2 history apparently.

Still, I would look a long time at my £150 (never mind the BIN of £220) before speculating it on an auction without as much as a picture. And even with pictures .......

Servis

There are now pictures loaded on the listing. Looks in good condition, although whether its worth £150 is still open to question

Servis Supertwin MK2

If that fetches the buy it now price of £275 then there are a few of us sitting on quite a pot of cash !!
Could someone please tell me just what makes this machine worthy of such a price after all its not like its gold enamelled ?

Austin

 

[keymatic]

Here, Here Austin !!
That is a stupid price for this kind of machine, they made over 1/2 million of these machines, and they last for years so i would say there are still quite a few knocking around. I would never pay that unless it was a "Holy grail" machine !!
20 years ago when I started collecting, people just use to give them away to get them out the way LOL ohh how times have changed.
Cheers

Servis twinny

How about this?

Pardon our interruption...

 

[lavamat_jon]

Bloody hell.  Lincoln, Nottingham... they're all popping up to tempt whilst I'm trying to clear out some space! Lol

 

[supermaticjames]

That last Servis twin tub that was posted is not actually made by Servis, it is a cheap and tacky twin tub with the Servis badge and design from then 90's. Don't be fooled, it's crap apparently.

 

[lavamat_jon]

Yeah - but the 3060 was in Lincoln too lol

 

[lavamat_jon]

Placed a bid on the Servis Compact seeming as it is so local, wish me luck!

 

(Seems like this is going to be another expensive month lol)

Tacky Servis...

I do believe you will find if you read the advert for the " Tacky Servis " Twin tub it does state its made by Velo in Holland.

I am not in the habit of trying to mislead people and attempt to sell them something that is not 100% genuine.

And yes I feel somewhat offended it is my ad.

I very nearly bought one of those Servis twin tubs brand new from a Kays catalogue (I think it was Kays) in 1998/9. I opted for the Servis h-axis top loader instead which, IIRC, was the same price.

 

[supermaticjames]

Hi Austin,

I had no intention of offending you by using the words cheap and tacky, it was just an opinion of the machine itself and yes I should have read the advert but alas I wasn't interested so I didn't click the link. I just remembered the discussion about these machines and I thought I would warn any of our younger or slightly naive members here that it isn't vintage. No need to be offended I am sure it will sell.

James.

 

[ozzie908]

James I thank you ...

for getting that across I am not offended now I have calmed down. I hope to sell the machine to make some room I am running out of space. I had not bothered to even mention it on AW as I appreciate most have better taste. I am hoping the ebay ethos is on my side and whats my scrap is anothers gold.

Keep them crossed.

Austin

 

[supermaticjames]

"To make some room"

I am doing the exact same thing as you right now, I am selling my Hotpoint WD61 now that it is made redundant because I have got my WD23. You have so many nice machines so why not treat yourself to another twin tub when you get rid of the Servis or maybe even venture into vintage automatics!

James.

 

[ozzie908]

Treat myself to a

divorce too, I think another machine would be the end I have 12 twin tubs a Servis compact with wringer a Hoover twosome as well as an AEG update all in the shed I hate to think what will happen when we move house !!!
