Hey Guys, This is going to be my new daily driver. It's a 1977 Aussie Wilkins Servis that i bought off ebay for US$32.00. It was from a deceased estate. The machine has the Maytag newton style helical drive long stroke gearbox and components but with one major difference that was unique to Australia: it has a gleaming Stainless Steel Bowl! All this machine needed was a set of new belts, re-greasing of the motor carriage and a new pump, but otherwise, she is in excellent condition. I haven't yet put it through a complete wash cycle yet as she is not yet installed in the laundry, but did take 2 quick vids of it spinning and agitating. Enjoy. Cheers Leon
