I'm in Melbourne too, Charlie, but I don't have room for a washing machine collection. I'd love to see your machines at some point if you're open to having somebody admire them all. A little wash-in-down-under perhaps ... Cheers, Nick |

Hi Charlie, how’re you doing? The bendix looks lovely, but the taps caught my eye, where did you get American style taps like that in Australia, I’ve never quite seen anything like that here? Cheers Nathan |

Hi Charlie, I'm in Malvern East, over near Chadstone. I don't know if there's anybody else in the Melbourne area who might also be interested in seeing your collection. Cheers, Nick |

Your collection sounds interesting. What vintage are they? I’m looking for a 1950s or 60s model. |

Well the American machine is probably from 1985, unfortunately with the Japanese machine I’ve had to retrofit a pump onto there as the original one was leaking quite badly, so that’s kind of zip tied through the original bolt holes,
I do have a 1955 Naco machine which is a boltdown , But that one also has a bit of a leak from the weep hole, I’m not exactly sure why or how, but the machine is fully working thankfully, and I have a potentially 1930s or 40s timesaver branded machine, that one has a built-in heater and the temperature control works by setting it to the temperature that’s needed, and pushing in the white button then when it reaches that temperature it releases the white button and starts the motor And it seems like there is also a leak from the door seal a little bit and the drain tap [ for buckets of hot water on the front] |
