Marigolds Don't wear them when wringing. A moment after this shot a finger of one of the gloves caught in the wringer. Say nothing of the marigolds. The water was very hot. | ||

The heater actually gets hot enough to boil water? That'd be amazing if you wanted to felt wool fabric for a coat, etc. | ||

Superheat
Going by the colour this must be on of the later machines - early 1960s at least, maybe later - others will know better than I. It appears that this machine (more or less) went on much longer in Australia as a Wilkins Servis, there was one of these recently posted by one of our Australian friends.
Absolutly this machine will heat to the boil, thats why it says "Superheat" on the front LOLOLOL. It was one of the few machines to offer both gas or electric heaters, normally it was electric only. The whole front panel is actually hinged, allowing storage of the wringer in the base. Great find :) Al | ||

Servis Boil Wash | ||

It's a.. Model 'M' Mk16 with a serial number of 239001. I'd guessed it at early sixties going by the colour although I thought they'd brought that out in the late fifties. Not sure though. I don't understand the Servis serial numbers. | ||

"Model 'M' Mk16"
That number is going to cause a lot of laughter or gnashing of teeth with a certain spreadsheet owner...LOl
Congratulations Aled, these are great machines, true workhorses and so quiet in action, hope the boil wash didnt cause too many leaks, not many pipes to change if it did... The Model "M" was first introduced in 1951, the newer cabinet styling open door and wringer / tongs storage and made for a modern machine in the kitchen The MK16 was an updated version released in 1957 of the M from 1951 Your model that you have had a facelift to co-incide with the "New Blue" line up for 1963, this was the last presentation of the "Big Wringer" then the Compact Wringers MK25 & MK76 where the only ones left... I was discussing Servis model numbers with Paul last night and we came to the conclusion that Servis were a niche manufacturer of a select number of models out on the market at any one time, many times just one model, other manufacturers like Hotpoint / Hoover would change a model number and a range very often, Servis tended to keep a model and update it, rather like you example - we came to the conclusion the only way to confirm that would be to ask your good self and find out what the serial / model number said... AND, Ricky the serial of your Wilkins Servis Autowash that was from Aus etc please ?? So now we know a little bit more, I do wish todays manufacturers would "Do a Servis" and keep a core range of just three or four models that give a different line up and feel to their offerings, manys times the base model looks so like the TOL just with a bigger price tag, just confuses everybody!! Meet the real "Servis Suse"
