Servis Auto-wash in Oz...

[keymatic]

Hi Guys,

I never knew that the Servis Auto-wash made it overseas, I thought this was just a machine made for the uk market.

Yes, only knew that last year when one of the aussie version`s turned up on UK ebay, following a company relocation, and one of our members now has it....

Servis Supertwin Autowash 1960, MK2 Model 29

The Servis Supertwin Autowash, MK2 Model 29, was first produced in 1960. It had three easy to select wash programemes, which where a linked heater / timer. It also had a 4min spin timer. You could override the set programmes and have a 12 min wash time as well.

Hi Mike...
Interesting models what Australia offer on the Supertwin, then had the the Model M which was very basic and was a manual operation, then the Model S which had a wash timer then the "Top of the Range" Model H which was the same as the Autowash.

My mum had the Push button WS twin tub, it was her first family washer when she got married.... I was always getting into trouble for pushing the buttons...It lasted for years I remember replacing it for her when I started work with a Hoover 525 Automatic...

Has anyone got any pics of the WS ? Would love to see some?

lokks like a nightmare regarding sand disposal. I remember the old solid tub Speed Queen and Frigidaires that had that design were the worst to use when visiting or vacating at the beaches.Not that I didn't sneak over to a few to watch while everyone else in our group were getting their arses whitened LOL
