Hi guys I recently had 3 weeks holiday and took a driving holiday interstate and found a few items. Below are two of the washer items i purchased while i was down there. The first are pics of a Pope wringer washer that has never been used and still has the Pope paper on the rollers, plus a very shiny aluminium agitator. The history was that it was a display item on a 2nd hand store and when the owners sold their store, they took the machine back to their home and it's been in storage for the past 15 years. I didn't bring the machine back with me as i didn't have the room in the car this time, so its being stored at my friends farm. See the 'Super' forum for the other items i brought back. Leon

Wow Hi Leon, Wow, I'm so jealous of the Electronic control whirlpool. I've got a Later BD machine you could have for for restoration if you want it? Its a magic clean filter model. I never dreamt one of those would turn up, it would've been extremely expensive back then. Congratulations. | ||

Possible one for you too Nathan
Hi Nathan My contact in Victoria, who has the 'graveyard', actually has a 2199 sitting outside, although its been exposed to the weather and the graphics on the control panel for the cycles is gone BUT, he 'thinks' he may have another one sitting inside the shed, but he has not been able to check it out for me as he has been pretty busy. So, if thats the case, i was going to buy that one off him and i could sell you this panel...but we'll have to wait and see when he gets back to me. Also, do you still need a control panel for your 'Push Button' Whirlpool? I've made contact with someone in Brisbane who has a couple of control panels for this model (i'm getting one for myself) and he may have some other machines you might be interested in. If so, text or email me or we'll chat on msn the next time you're on. Cheers Leon | ||
