Simpson washing machine Picture thread

[arrrooohhh]

Model 105

I found this lovely looking 105 model Simpson. It had 4 rocker swithces, allowing the user to select a heated wash and select speeds indepentantly of wash cycle.

However it was in very poor condition and unfortunately, I had to take it to the tip as I have moved into a new place. Sorry I couldn't salvage any bits.

Simpson 124

This one saw the lovely blue contral panel again replaced with a woodgrain finish.

144

14X series introduced in 1979. Standard rotating knobs replaced the rockerswitches and the agitator design changed slightly.

Thank you

Leon, your collection is amazing. I enjoyed seeing your interveiw and visit on the Television. Gentle, quiet and dependable you are, just like the Simpson. I can't believe all the pieces is parts in the Fluid Drive Machines.

Lets start the week with something unusual.

Greetings Friends!
This is a New Zealand model Simpson that is most unusual. It has the Fisher and Paykel cabinet and lid, which itself was borrowed from the English Hotpoint toploader, but with the Simpson rockerswitch control panel and Simpson insides.

Money shot

Model 124 and 126

Terrific collection of photos there Ash,the 124 and 126 models with the woodgrain finish were some of my favourites, I am pretty sure they were known as the "Gentle Giants" and had the famous Simpson "8 vane agitator action", I used to have an actual brochure on these models, really nice machines.
Cheers.
Steve.

I've got the 1964 model Simpson.

Its got a few leaks at the moment, but otherwise works well.

I've never been patient enough to wait and see if the heater actually does its thing
