Hi everyone.
As many of you know, I had a shed built specifically to hold the collection late last year. Kevin asked how progress was going, so thought I'd show progress to date. Plumbing and electrical were completed in August but it's still a work in progress: I'm waiting for the builder to come back and build shelving around the perimeter of the shed so I can display my fan collection and all the other laundry memorabilia. I'm not sure if it'll happen before the end of the year now so I have to be patient. Once that's done the final touches can happen. Nathan (Brisnat81) and Michael have been over a couple of times to see the progress. The pictures will show the plumbing, electrics, wall insulation, internal sheeting and placement of the collection to date. Cheers Leon This post was last edited 12/08/2018 at 20:47 | ||

Hi Leon,
That is truly incredible - purpose built with water supply, drainage and power for each machine. The stuff dreams are made of... I'm totally in awe of your collection, especially given how few vintage machines are still around in Australia. It looks as though you have imported a few washers too ? I have imported a Frigidaire Flair, a Philco Predicta Tandem, many small appliances and numerous cars, but not a washer (at least not so far...haha). Absolutely brilliant ! Regards, Tim | ||

Hoover FL & others @ Chris: that Hoover FL is indeed a prototype: given to me (along with the Electra) from Phillip who used to be a Hoover engineer. He's posted in the forum as 'Meadowbank'.
And yes, that is indeed a Wilkins Mark 72.
@Austin: will get you some pics when I'm next there and have a bit more time.
@ Potatochips: the GE FF set were bought separately off our 'Craigslist': the dryer itself was still in its box having never been used.
Cheers Leon | ||

Hi Leon, wow!! Such impressive work, it's going to be a washerland for sure! I love all your machines and no washer collection is complete without multiple MixMasters as well!
Looking forward to seeing more pictures.
