Wow!
I didn't realise any Australian manufacturer ever did an "American" sized tumble dryer for our market. I'm only used to the smaller Hoover and Simpson models from the late 60's/70's. What a find!

Hi Nick, Yeah these Simpson dryers are harder to find than their counterpart washing machines. Strange though as I’d imagine they last longer than the washers… it’s huge inside as you are aware!

No I didn’t pick that one up. A little bit too new for my taste. Plus I have to conserve space myself. Apparently two people did a no show, so I was lucky!
How many malleys do you have? Would love to see your collection.

I picked up a second hand GE Filter Flo in South Sydney a few years back a they had a big Simpson American style drier. It was for sale too but I didn’t buy it. Wish I had now. Not sure if it worked off a regular power outlet or had to be hardwired in to 30amp outlet. A nice find Astorobssesion.

Ah yes.. the machines we passed up. I’m quite new to all this washing machine collecting. For five years I came across nothing and people in the washing machine culture had soaked up most of what was amazing. Then last year I broke the freeze with a response to my ad. I now own a few fluid drive washers by Simpson and a ge mini washer from 1970, a bendix washer from 1949 and this Simpson dryer.
I’m keen to move one of the fluid drives to another collector who might have something equally amazing. I would like an Astor or Healing automatic washer. I would imagine there are none left ALTHOUGH there were so many Healing washers upto 1975, there is a reasonable chance. Astor probably remains one for dreams as they weren’t as popular.
I am really happy to help other collectors get what they want. I referred a Hoover key matic onto another collector a few years back - not my sort of thing as I like the early 50s / 60s autos.
On the topic of my new dryer.. I’ll fit a 20 amp socket and plug/cord today and see how she goes.. hopefully my house doesn’t burn down (lol) though I am qualified so probably won’t be an issue.!
Your GE sounds great.. what year is it manufacture?

My GE Filter Flo from South Sydney
Hi Astorobsession,
This was a thread I created when I got the filter Flo quite a few years ago. I no longer have it, ran out of space unfortunately. It had a few issues and it started to leak again and kept tripping the electrics in the house. I still have a Filter flo that is probably from early 1990s which works perfectly.

GE filter Flo up and running
I hope everyone had a great holiday season. It gave me some time to fix the old GE Filter Flo I got on eBay the other week. Managed to fix rust and leaks in outer tub. Did an empty run first. Works great except that at the end of the washy phase, it pauses, starts to spin and pump out. However...

The Malleys are in poor condition atm…
I will post some pictures of them but atm they are in poor shape, need a fair few repairs, one of them is mint condition though! Hopefully this Simpson treats you well!
