Before you consider the alternatives, consider what that actually meant from a financial point of view.... 128gns plus 7 gns for the heater!! 135gns is A£141 s15 That's the equivalent today of $3,660.... Would any of you care to part with $3,660 for a twin-tub today? Appliances were BLOODY EXPENSIVE here in the 1960's Inflation Calculator | RBA www.rba.gov.au
