Servis

Hi Paul , yes they are solid machines, a heavy base and vitreous enamel inner & outer tubs, did the job though for many years...no fussing with the spin either!!

Gary...yes, Darlo women, somehow it doesnt look like houses near the factory!!! I wonder what people did with the packet of OMO (Old Man Out or On My Own) in the kitchen window when they got an automatic?? or I wonder if the husband would click...LOl

Servis!

Mike, these are beautiful machines, I wish we had these on our side of the pond. I've been thouroughly enjoying my little Canadian Servis twinnie and if these are anything like that in build quality then they are tanks.

 

Happy Anniversary. My Simplicity/Servis will be 40 in August, hard to imagine and it's still in great shape.

Mike, I have a bearing kit for the MK72 if you want it. See my other post "Spares in UK".

Mobile phone call

I believe it was 40 years ago that it was the first mobile phone call too? Perhaps it went " hello darling I've just bought you a servis washer ," I was 2 months old and it was a few months before my mam bought her first auto washer ( matchbox hoover ) and was still using a rolls rapids twin tub, 10 years before her first dryer and 20 before her first dishwasher! Imagine having all 3 in 1973 ! In England this would have been quite well to do !
