Made in America...
@Cfz2882 These machines were made in Ripon, Wisconsin, and Hespeler, Ontario, under a licensing agreement with Servis UK. The model is based upon the U.K. model, with the exception that in North America, there was no heating element. Later models (like mine) had only two control knobs, with the pump/spin functions controlled with one knob.
Regarding value - of course, that is subjective to availability in a certain area. Even though they are becoming more rare, you can still pick one up occasionally for around $100. There's one listed in my area for $125. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bradross's LINK | ||

Speed Queen Supertwin / Simplicity / Servis UK
A lovely find in your new home and if you where a vintage collector you have scored a gem. The parts where originally made in the UK by Servis Domestic Appliances, based on the model Servis Supertwin MK70 and were the Rolls Royce of twintub washing machines. These where then sent abroad to the Speed Queen factories where they where assembled in Speed Queen produced cabinets, slight differences being as Brad says no heater, different pump control valves (uses a pinch valve where UK models had motor driven pumps) and 2 speed washmotor. And its avocado "Whats not to like" , hope it finds a new home soon for you !!
