My 2nd ALL Push Button Fully Programmed SIMPSON Fluid Drive!!

[mayfan69]

Well, this is my 2nd All push button Simpson Fluid Drive. This is the 1968 model with the woodgrain trim (not a favourite of many i know)

This machine is in full working order, only needs the lid to be re-sprayed and a good polish.

I also now have the matching side by side dryer.

Enjoy the pics.

Cheers
Leon

Nice machine, but what does fluid drive mean? Is the transmission on oleodinamic bearings? Also, what a strange tub!

Hi Leon,
Congratulations on your vintage Simpson, it reminds me of some of the vintage Maytags. Very interesting wash tub is that a rubber or plastic liner?
I'll bet that agitator makes for some splashy wash action!

Agitator cap and dispenser placement seem familiar

Very beautiful!!What a find! Was this machine a Hotpoint in a previous life??

Very Handsome Machine

Yes what material is the tub constructed of. What is the
black/brown circling the agitator? Very nice controls.

Very kool find! There is something about it that seems like a Hotpoint, yet the agitator is very Wizard.
Beautiful console.
Congratulations on your find!

Two! Congrats on another beauty - it seems only yesterday we were ooh-ing and aah-ing over your first one!

 

[arrrooohhh]

OMG! IM SO EXCITED!

Not just one, but two of these beautiful and unique machines have been preserved for posterity.

What a beautiful machine and fully functional to boot!

Congratulations Leon. Lets hope that some more Simpson finds are uncovered and Solid State Fabulous would be nice.

BTW I have sent you an email from my yahoo account regarding my Simpson.
