2 x King Single Sealy PosturePractic Beds

+++SOLD+++


Matched pair of king single ensemble beds. (One shown)

These beds have not been used much, mainly as guest beds, so the springs are still firm and very comfortable to lay on. The mattresses are in pretty good condition but the matching bases have been knocked around a bit in moves, and have a couple of battle scars, but once made up you won't see this of course. One base is better than the other.

Cost over $1000 around 10 years ago, but due to minimal use they are still very serviceable and a good buy. Put the two together and make a king sized double bed.



Retro Dining Chairs



Set of 4 Dining Chairs

Nice old retro dining chairs, early 70's. They are only in moderate condition, but may clean up pretty well. The seats and backs are in generally good condition, but the wood frames are a little battered.

Singer Industrial Sewing Maching


+++SOLD+++


This is a reliable older style industrial singer sewing machine, the sort that will just run forever. It has a big table base, electric motor and attached light. It was previously used in a TAFE fashion design course, and would be suitable for anyone doing larger volume or heavy duty work. Note, its heavy!! Its in working order, but has not been used for a while, so a service would be worthwhile.


European Style Leather and Jarrah Lounge


+++SOLD+++


Retro, quality leather and Jarrah lounge suite.

This is a beautiful, quality leather lounge brought over from WA in the 80's, made by Swan Valley Jarrah. The frame is solid JARRAH timber and very heavy, but looks refined, not not chunky. The leather is in reasonable condition for its age. There are a couple of wear marks in the folds, but nothing too serious. Also the base has a couple of rub marks from the removalists (don't you love them) but again nothing serious. The arm pieces are detachable, and the seats are removable making cleaning easier. The lounge is comfortable, and looks stunning on a polished timber floor, especially in an old Queenslander. The lounge is definitely "lived in", but certainly has plenty of life left. If you are expecting something 'like new' then you will be disappointed, but if you want character and quality, this is worth a look. The wood in this lounge is where the value is.

There are two single seaters and a double. Very reluctant sale.

Quality Hama Photo Copy or Enlarger Stand

Professional quality Hama adjustable stand suitable for general photo work. Stand adjusts up to XXcm high, as well as front to back. The camera mount is a standard fitting for 35mm cameras. Its very sturdy, and can accept full A3 sized images. While its 20 years old now, and has the bumps and rubs to show it, its condition is really very good. The winding mechanism works smoothly and the base is clean and pretty free from scratches or marks. A good quality work horse.

Bendix Bambina Compact Top Loading Front Load Washing Machine

+++SOLD+++


For Sale: This is a unique and very good quality Bendix Bambina Compact "Top Loading" Front Load Washing Machine.

This is a unique and very compact washing machine, while still providing a full 5kg washing load. As you can see its not that much wider than a standard tennis racket!



This washing machine provides the advantages of a front and top loader combined. The BENDIX Bambina TL 843 X has a drum, like a front loader, but you load and unload it from the top, so you don't have to squat or bend down. If you have limited space for a washing machine (in the bathroom, say), this BENDIX is a very good choice. It's about 20 cm narrower than other machines of similar capacity.

.

Its energy and water efficiency are comparable to other front loaders,which usually rank higher than top loaders. While it's not as gentle on clothes as the front loaders, it still beats most top loaders in this respect.



The controls are simple to use and designed like the rest of the machine to last a lifetime. The build quality is excellent, which makes it much heavier than its small size suggests.

Costing in excess of $1200 when purchased 6 years ago, this machine has not been heavily used and was in storage for much of this time. It is in excellent condition, just a few bumps and scratches from the last removalists (don't you love them) but functionally its as good as the day it was purchased and should give many years of faithful service into the future.

Save water, energy and space with this unique machine.
