Wilkinson Service Galaxy Wringer

Heater

does anyone know if any american washer has a heater function..I know we have dish washers that heat their own water but I've never heard of a wahsing machine that does. I would think the water would get hotter than heating in the maching rather than pulling from the tank.

Servis Superheat

Wow Nathan

Well done on finding such a super machine, and in such great condition, the colour is just subtley different from the UK version..

This model was the Model M over here, produced from 1951, I love the way the front door pulls open revealing the space for the wringer, pipes and the usual "WashTongs"

The Pump is very forceful as I found out when I was filming it, had forgotten to put the pipe in and it shot across the tub and over the top hitting the back wall of the laundry room soaking me and everything else at the same time...LOL

Nathan, what is the turquoise bottle next to the powder,?? it looks very much like Comfort fabric conditioner from the 70`s

Enjoy, Mike

The Turquoise bottle

Is OmoMatic, Frontloader liquid detergent.

Michael accidentally bought 5 bottles of the stuff, and as the Miele doesnt have a liquid detergent dispensor, I have no way of using it.

Its amazing how much Water the tiny pump manages to move. Its only about the size of an orange, yet it moves as much water as a modern pump manages to.
