Mum was given her Simpson dryer as an engagement (or maybe wedding) present circa 1979. Couple of drum belts and a few of the lint filters (hers is one of the non see through front venters) and it still goes good
MF - just use medium heat for about 25 minutes depending on load/material thickness. Mostly heed the labels.
Don't get me started on new simpson washers though.
1st one kept snapping suspension rods - eventually all 4 broke and dropped the guts out at full rpm. Got wind that the guys who deliver the new one and take the old one away end up onselling the machine to a repairer for resale - so I gleefully swung an axe through it so no poor bugger ever gets hampered with it again
2nd one now and it went bang grind 2 months ago - a bit nut (size of victa blade plate nut) dropped off the agitator shaft . Warranty guy was putting back together and I suggested locktite or a star washer, he said that management wouldn't allow - and if the next repair man saw it, it is to be reported.
I asked what the solution was - he said see you next year...
