Looking to find someone(s) to adopt my washing machines. I own 4 or 5 or 6 Simpson Automatics, all bar one live in the garage in a state of disrepair ... the 'bar one' lives in my laundry and still does the weekly wash. That one is an A38 I believe, it's in need of a complete refurbishment but I don't have the time or will to rebuild another one. This old bugger just won't die though so I keep on using it.
I'm in the process of decorating my house to sell it later in the year, hence the need now to move these beautiful old warhorses. My partner just doesn't 'get it' so my protestations go unheard, adding to the lack of will to refurbish.
I don't want to see them go to metal recycling, in fact they won't go to metal recycling, I'll end up carting them somewhere where they'll spend another 20 years under cover but not being utilised.
The matching tumble dryer still operates but the heating elements have both given up. They are a pigeon pair in the laundry atm ... not quite pigeon pairs I guess as the tumbler is a 1968, the washer a 1962.
Only clause I have is that I don't want someone picking these up and then taking them to the recycler themselves. I really want them to go to someone who also has an unbalanced attachment to old washing machines.
... once they're dealt with I have to find a home for my 1968 Fairlane (sans motor) which has sat in a garage in the dark for, (jeez), about 25 years or so, but that's another story for a different forum.
