Hello Guys, Firstly, Happy 2008 to you all. Here are some better pics of the 1965 Kelvinator i showed earlier. I spent the 2 weeks i had off over Xmas and New Year travelling with my partner to Melbourne Victoria (2 states and 2000 klms or 1242 Miles for you guys) to have a holiday but also pick up the Kelvy in my brand new station wagon that arrived Xmas eve. We spent 3 lovely hours with the owners of the machine having lunch with them before starting our journey to head back to Brisbane. I also stopped off to view the 2 Simpson Fluid Drives i bought as well. It was a slightly anxious drive back as there was some flooding on the way back but we made it just before the major floods took hold. There are 2 links to a couple of video's of the machine agitating and spinning. Cheers Leon |

Hi Leon, Glad to hear you made it through before the major flooding. The situation in northern NSW has been quite grim, with the tales of loss appearing on the news quite a lot now. The machine looks cool too! Nick |

Amazing as usual Leon :) It's nice to hear it running as quietly and smoothly as it is, a very nice looking machine :) |

Thanks Nathan, Nick and Mike! Yes Nick, it was good to get home when we did, by only a couple of hours before the major floods took hold. Mike: this machine was in storage for the past 10 years and the hoses will need to be replaced. By the way Mike, did you check out the thread with the UK designed Wilkins Servis? Here's the link....
