Nice thread guys
Love seeing the Aussie versions of my machines! And that showroom is Boss, I don't know of one here stateside does anybody else?
Did you notice of the side panels in the Imperial pair were also SS? I saw a new set recently and they had gray painted steel now.

Side panels of Imperial pair
Hi Jon
I'm pretty sure the sides of the Imperial pair were stainless steel as well, i can't recall grey painted steel.
Nathan might be able to remember as well...
I was saying to Nathan i'd like to have an Imperial washer at least, but even at wholesale price, it would still be approx AU$3800.00.
Cheers

HI Leon
$4K is what they cost about here as well. I'm surprised they aren't more due to shipping. Are they assembled in Oz?
I remember my first trip over in '81 and finding american two door refrigerators were a very hot item on the Oz market. They were going for upwards of $10k when over here they were $2K. I couldn't believe it!
I think you now build two door fridges don't you?

Imperial price....
Hey Jon
I didn't realise the price of the Imperial's was the close to those in the US....a bit surprised at that....they're not assembled here. Certainly there's more of a price disparity with the TL's: I managed to buy the TL at wholesale for AU$1550.00, where I understand the TL in the US is about US$750??
As for fridges: Australia no longer makes fridges at all: Electrolux recently closed the factory here and they're now imported from Thailand.

So sorry to hear no fridges made there, how odd! Everyone there needs refrigeration! I find that odd!!

When I last checked several months ago, I thought F&P were still manufacturing (fridges) in Queensland... Perhaps things have changed since then?
The DD was made in Mexico, for anyone interested. Perhaps that explains their 80% non-failure rate...
Our Westinhouse Oven and Induction Cooktop were down in New South Wales or Queenland, and they are from 2011.
