I can only think that this machine was shipped out by an emigrant in the 1950/1960's, the £10.00 passage people. |

Hi Leon, a very popular 1950`s machine, came in cream with red trim or white with dark blue trim....did you not have these under the "Gala" name!!! price is a bit steep, looks like its had new rollers though....hows the collection coming on??? From the 1960`s all Hotpoint A.E.I. products as was, where called "Gala" machines when exported to Ireland and all other wordly continents...not sure why, probably tax reasons, same spec machines though... Heres the Hotpoint trio, Empress, Countess & baby Princess, all use the famous No Tangle Hotpoint Gyrator wash system... |

Hey Mike, I know Hotpoint sold wringers here in Oz for a while, but have normally been used to the round tub design. My collection is getting there...close to finishing my first restoration: a 1976 Wilkins Servis 502 with a stainless steel bowl. Found the machine in a backyard...it was pretty yucky but has cleaned up well...mechanically it just needed new belts, a good grease and it now works fine!Some pics and a video to come. Cheers Leon |
