Hey Leon, fabulous adds, and as they say "Australias Only washing Machine Specialists" I like that!!! had a shock when I saw the MK72 compact washer & dryer in the pic, where was the main Servis factory in Aus?? am assuming they where all built there rather than exported??
Al, yes, where did that control come from!! interesting, and 16lb`s I wonder if they made them slightly bigger in Aus, either that or the marketers went to the "Danks School of Laundry Excellence" meaning "Put your Hob Nail Boots On and Ram it In..Lol)

Hey mike!
Hey Mike
How you going? By the 1970's, the Wilkins Servis factory was set up in Elizabeth South Australia and all machines were made at that factory.
No one has yet come forth with the MK 72 washer but there are still plenty of the dryers about.

Oh how I laughed at that one! No offence to John, I just got a mental picture of him in his laundry room putting the "pulsator boiling action" to the test. Still better hob nailers than stillies (Killer Heels) I suppose ......

Hi Mike, Leon and Lads
That Wilkin's Super 16 is a to-die-for machine for a die-hard TT fan!
And in PURPLE, too. EGADS! Don't think we've had any purple machines in the States, alas.
Look how the First ad has the 16 built right in, the decorator taps above. Really cool and exciting
Do you lads know what the "plug-in rinse" and "double rinse" refer to--how they work?
Proof once again that the Land Down Under has the most usual flora, fauna, and WASHING MACHINES ;-D Cheers and many thanks for the beautiful scans and all the time and effort involved, enormously appreciated by all.

Rinsing with Servis
Hey Mickey, ready for a Servis overload!!! I think its marketing speak for the Servis way of rinsing,the UK models would be
method 1: you plug in the cold water hose and with the spinner running you spray rinse the clothes until the water runs clear..
method 2: you open the lid while the water is pouring in and you can manually slosh the clothes through the water or allow the spin can to fill up and "overflow" the sudz, then turn water off and spin dry, never did an auto rinse like the hoover & hotpoints
Heres the MK2 with pipes connected, L-R, washtub, spin rinse & empty hose

That's wonderful, Mikey-- I get it.
Knew how busy you were so didn't get greedy with questions, but you've answered another big one.
Noticed an inlet hole in the washtub, and the curve-out "spout" in the spinner. So I kept wondering how the heck does the washer know which tub to fill, since there is no visible fill control, and no faucet like the Hoove.
GOT IT: There ain't; instead there are two fill ports, one for the wash, and one for the rinse. Nice.
One more: You wrote: "Pump control, manually moves a pulley wheel against motor belt." For the wash tub, of course. But are there two pumps, another for the spinner? In your amazing disrobed photos, it looks like two pumps but there is only one discharge hose. Stuck on this one. I'm a slow coach ;'D
Thanks. The pix are just fabulous.

Hi Mike,
I think Servis use to vary things more than Hotpoint or Hoover..Weird about the spin can reverting to Viterous, i though it would have been more costly, but the point about giving a better spin makes sense.
I know i picked up a Mk2 years ago from Colchester and that had, had the original spin can taken out and a modern one put in, I was quite surprised whether or not it would have worked, but it did and still have the machine.
I recently picked up a Hotpoint brochure from 1963, showing the new "Twin Six"..what a weird machine, having to emptying ports into the wash tub, i would have thought it would have been easier to just have a hose out the back. I will scan the pic. I recently had one, but had to let it go to "Twin Tub Heaven"..here's hoping for another to pop up !!
Cheers
Keith
