Hey Guys, Here is another machine i got a call about. It's a 1950's Kelvinator Orbital Semi Automatic. The owner is a lovely old dear who responed to my wanted advert and said it's mine to have if i want it and for no money. I defintely do want it and am going to offer her a few dollars for it, after all, she did take the pictures on a disposable camera i sent her and she also sent me a nice xmas card too! She was still using it up till a few years ago. Now, the owner is certain the hose going through the lid was for filling manually, which i find a little strange. I won't know till i eventually get the machine to my home. The left dial is the timer and the right dial controls the wash and spin. With a little TLC she is going to come up sparkling! Cheers Leon

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's nice machine! How does it agitate? Oscillating or excentric circulating? Ralf | ||

Wow! A great find. Given the old Kelvey's penchant for high water usage the hole in the lid is not such a surprise---just stick a hose through it and comeback in twenty minutes or so for that extra effective rinse! Congratulations! | ||

This is way too carzy for me ;'D
the second I saw that hose I JUST KNEW it was for suds-saving. I just wrote about it in the other thread, and was going to ask my brothers down under about Aussie suds-banks and such because you such unusual machines down there, just like your flora and fauna. I wondered if any of your machines actually kept used water on board. I only ask because many times over the 2 years I've been in the club , you guys have often talked about suds-returns; in fact is was one of you who first introduced the term,"suds-bank" (I think) Do any of you know of a machine the kept the suds water on board during the rinse cycle. Sounds impossible, I know, but hey it's Australia and you have the coolest things down there. It's really Christmas time with all these shared treasures. For the record, I WOULD DIE to have that machine . thank you for the wonderful treat-- too perfect for words-- A Kelvinator, a Semi, and a Suds-return. For me, that is a washer made in heaven--go check the Vovoguy Thesis thread. Unbelievable, but it happened. mickeyd | ||
