So what is a Wash-ing-Mah-chine anyhoo? Is it somehow related to the chik who picks up your dirty clothes from the bedroom floor and replaces them with shiny new clean ones? Mis-sus I think they call it......

Simpson Delta is a good secondhand machine. Made in one guise or another for ages, plenty of parts available, cheap and easy to keep operational, and not much goes wrong.

Yup Felix got it in one. Only thing to watch for with Simpson washers is that the gearboxes leak oil- if you find oil under a Simpson you know what is wrong with it.
