They are great video's and they sound exactly like Australian's did back in the 60's The Aussies that could afford a Laundry that looks like that, probably could've afforded an automatic :) They're great clips | ||

126 guineas!
To my way of thinking that was a huge sum of money. I was talking with my father tonight and they purchased that model without a heater in 1959 after seeing it displayed at the Brisbane Exhibition. He and I calculated that in todays money it would have been the equivalent of between $3500 and $5000! Remember that you could buy a new Holden for less than 1200 Pounds at the time. He thought that he was earning about 1200 Pounds a year in quite a good white collar job then.
Interestingly the first twin tubs were far more time and labour saving than the wringer washers at the time. Quicker, drier and less handling of the laundry. | ||

I dearly love twintubs. But then I'm a laundromaniac. I'd like nothing better than standing there the whole time orchestrating it. I can see the practical brick wall though, trying to sell these for almost the same as a full auto to a woman who just wants laundry 'done'. Unless they absolutely needed the portability.
