Servis With a Suprise |

Well another day at work produced this lovely old Servis 200tumble dryer, it is in fantastic visual condition as you can see from the pictures (other than a little heat damage to the door seal)
Me being a thick sod thought it odd that it had aluminium trim around the base and it didnt want to roll on its wheels. As i lifted it into the car the aluminium base trim came away and Bingo! christ it had the uber rare stacking frame with it ;-), there were the wheels ha ha i laughed to myself about being so dumb. The colour scheme to me is better than the later brown colour scheme. I shall try it out this coming week and try and squeeze it into the rapidly diminishing space i have left after Mike & Mat visited last weekend and removed some machines. Now of course I am wondering about the matching washing machine, is it still around ????

my gran had the same dryer in the brown colour scheme. I only remember her having it for a couple of years when i was very little. I do remember the sensor had gone on the door so she had to lean the bin against it to make it work. And i remember getting told off for turning the timer and letting it tick down without the machine being on lol.

Servis
Well it looks a lot better in the pic than how you described it!!!...Lol its mint and the 4th generation of the servis dryers, the 3rd compact, mid 70`s, have never seen that colourway in the flesh...only in an add, & then with the earlier washer!!!
I wonder if they will come back in with the washer, if stacked it could only have been with a later Servis!!! That stacking kit is worth it alone...and funny we where only talking of those last week...well I `ll phone you later and talk about my wish list and watch them come in next week!!! Heres the matching washer with it,

Envious ???
LEE
I can understand anyone being a bit envious of us who work these sites, because yes they can be a toy shop sometimes. But they are shit jobs, poor pay and conditions they are mainly contracted out so the local authority does not employ us that way they can get round a lot of the employment protection laws, this means we work long hours without any fixed breaks in all weathers no sick pay no holiday pay no employer liability there are a lot of aspects i like about this sort of work but you do have to rough it in order to get access to gear you want | ||

yah never know
Paul a waste yeah i know but these sort of items that turn up working are always to our benefit, better than having to spend hours fixing them ;-)
If you look to the rear right of the dryer you can see the back of the logic 1100 i was supposed to break for spares today to make room for the Servis.......well i thought i would just have a tinker with the keymatic first, next thing i knew it was time to come home !.......ah well | ||

Hi Gary time flies when you are having fun! You are absolutely right that its nice not to have to carry out laborious repairs. Its just the disappointment at operational stuff being cast into a skip - gets to me every time. Paul | ||
