A sweet memory achieved on Memorial Day
So happy for you and dying to know every thing. Drooling here over the Suds-return. What a totaly unexpected bonus on an already fabulous machine!
Does Simpson have an American cousin?
Do you hit the program button "ON"to start the Suds-return?
If any one has the delicious details on exactly how the suds-retun works, would you share it please.
This is what we club members live for--our dreams! I remember the cold December morning when, among a fleet of young but already dead automatics, I saw in the shadow, the gleaming chrome of a Visi-matic.
There is nothing like finding a dream machine. Can't wait to see it work!!!
Thank You

Fantastic find! Congratulations!
Does the tub index at all during agitation? Just curious as to the purpose of all those ribs. Maybe just to keep everything up to speed and balanced when spinning with a partial load?
Also curious as to its roll-over capability with those big upper fins. Just like an old Wizard.

bet those ribs are to aid in the spinout of heavy soil and to help channel water away from fabrics.

Leon,I really like that control panel. It kinda looks like a 1955 kelvinator mated with a maytag. Love it.Don

Thanks to All!
Thanks for your kind words guys! Adding some more pics via a seperate thread (mainly inner workings)
Some answers to questions:
KEN: Yes, the tub spins clockwise
JON: Will record ALL sounds she makes and will email you a picture of the badge: it would be wonderful if you could do something for me, as i have another 60's Simpson where the badge has faded.
BEN: I placed an advertisement for the specifics of the machine: the story was this machine was the sellers "batchelor" uncle who lived by himself all his life and after his death, they stored it away thinking they may use it themselves one day. He was curious to know why i wanted it. It was not "cheap" i assure you, but bloody worth it! Lol
MICKEYD: Simpson used the Beam design fluid drive in the late 50's to early 70's here in Oz. As for the Suds Save, from what i can make out, if you leave the plug in the laundry tub, at the end of the spin cycle the water is siphoned back into the "outer" tub and then when you advance the button to "start" the water is then pumped back into the "inner" tub.
STEVE: From what i have seen of the other Fluid Drive i have, the tub does not index.
More pics of the inner workings in a seperate thread.

Breathtaking!
Worth it at any price, Leon! What a beautiful machine - that plastic tub liner is just wonderful.

Fabulous Machine!
That's a really neat find. One thing I find interesting is that the console design dates from as late as the '70s. It is very shiny, with lots of chrome like an earlier machine, instead of having the usual plastic woodgrain more typical of TOL machines from the late '60s through the '70s. I'm not a big fan of plastic wood so I think the chrome looks better anyway.

Congradulations on finding your dream machine.It was wasiting for you all of these years,now it is home
I have always been courious, do these machines have a long stroke like the Speed Queen, or a short stroke like the new Maytags? Also, do they do a neutral drain with the filter action like the F and P or the grand spin drain? Again Congrads. Ritchie

Leon, what a great find, all the bells and whistles to. You've got to love the timed bleach and fabric softener dispensers. I hope you get it up and running soon, the mechanicals look like they're in great shape. Can someone tell me what north American brands used the beam transmission?
Good luck.

PS
Hope you get that center dial Maytag one day, they're great machines.

Hey Ritchie
The Simpson has a 210 degree long stroke agitation arc and a spin drain.
