Wow! A full size Simpson dryer that would be a match to Leon's Simpson from 1974. These are rare indeed! As usual in Melbourne. CLICK HERE TO GO TO arrrooohhh's LINK on eBay | ||

Or maybe the poor lady just can't bend over comfortably 
Never knew just how heavy a shirt could be 'till my horse fell on me in 2000. For the longest time, I could not bend over. Then, for an even longer time, bending over hurt more than anything was worth. Anybody know how old this is? Looks very solid. Simpson...aren't they related to Maytag somehow or other...Maytag bought their stuff (or vice versa)? If they still exist and are still in business, could they be a resource to avoid the Maytag debacle in the US? | ||

Are Simpson related to Maytag??
Hi Keven, Simpson and Maytag are not related...i wish they were! In the 1960's, Simpson used similar technology like the Maytag helical drive principle, which continued into the 1970's. Simpson were bought out by Email who eventually have been taken over by Electrolux. The Simpsons of today are nowhere near the rugged machines they once were....they use a reversing motor to agitate rather than a proper steel drive gearbox. This dryer in the picture is about a 1974 model, i have the matching washer below. I would get this, but do not have the room at the moment for it.

the joke was on me, no doubt about it
Thanks, Chad...but I heard all of them. Several times. At least both horse and I fully recovered. I broke his fall so well... Thank you Leon, I guess I was just dreaming. Since the Australians have had to invent so much on their own, I was kinda hoping... Electrolux has such a mixture of really good and truly dreadful you just never know. Very ironic somehow that the machines of our youth would turn out to be more reliable 20, 25, 30...40 years later than the newest stuff...counting from the day you buy a new machine... | ||
