I have never seen one of these before. Anyone know anything about it. I would love to get it but it is located in Melbourne Victoria, way too far to drive. Check it out.

These Lightburn twintubs (the name hadn't been mentioned yet in this thread, just for the archives. lol) show up now and then. If you use the searchalator you will find several threads about these machines. Here's the thread about Nathan's machine.

Yep, happy to say I got this little beauty for $30. Best we don't discuss the shipping cost from melbourne to Sydney. It is being delivered on Monday. I am very excited and can't wait to get the washer up and running. It looks in really good condition for a machine from the 1950s.
I will post some pictures etc soon. Simon |

A top load front load twin tub. How cool is that?
Excited to hear about the controls. They boast only two. Will there be a motor ON, motor OFF. They show a water return, but is it by gravity (clever) or by pump? What a fun machine this would be to have. Please let us know. The lift and drop looks less dramatic than what we're used too, but who cares. You pull a nappy out, it's still stained a bit, so you just wash the load longer. Watching the whole affair without a lid is a supreme treat for us washer folk. Just realized there must be a pump. Else, how would the water reach the upper bowl? They tricked me with the hose shown in the lower bowl. What fun it would be to pull the washed load down into the spinner. |
