Hi Jon Charles. Would love one of those but I guess it is on 220V and it does not have a window. Ross | ||

Keymatic
Congratulations Richard on finally getting your Keymatic, having just missed out on the last one, this looks in a lot better nic...and has the later red bakelite keyplate. Jon , dont worry I still have mine, (& all the bedtime reading documentation),thanks for the heads up, but glad Rich got it.... Paul, as well as Louis in Netherlands & Chris & Mark in Aus having a 3226, Keith in UK also has one as well, the 3226 benefits from an enhanced wiring loom as well as a black tougher door boot and the use of the cirular programme indicator instead of the timeline...also on later models the S/S inner door panel...but you are right that all the keymatics about all appear to be the 3224 first model.. Cheers, Mike

Glad to hear that it has gone to a collector who will appreciate it for what it is - a superb machine that should be cared for. Hi Mike - cheers re the info on surviving 3226's - glad to know that there is at least one safe in the UK. Paul | ||

The Keymatic would be more fun if it had a window. Ross | ||

Bendix washer in coupon...Casdon toy washer... Matchboxpaul: not dissimilar, but not the one. I think RobM's photo #88 of 88 in his photo collection, is actually it! | ||

Keymatic
Hi Ross The fab thing about the keymatic is you can disable the door switch and because it has a tilted drum you can still use, it does tilt back a fair degree because the pulsator needs to be submerged for it to work, it uses to large springs suspended from the metal chasis to anchors on the drum top, and one very thin wire that loops around the lower part of the drum and attaches to the top cradle as well on each side...simple and effective.

Hi there. It would be fun seeing a video clip and pics later of this one. Would be nice compare to the old one i had. I think mine had a serious program problem from the start and in the end it really had. | ||

Hi Richard..Congrats on your recent win !!..its great to know that there is another Keymatic that has been saved and will be cheerished. I have the later model 3226 with the round indicator, and Black & White keyplate..it is in working order, but just dragging in the kitchen and getting it all set up, is just a bit to much on my own, hopefully over the coming months i will attempt it..my machine was given to me by a good friend, who at the same time gave me a matching set of English Electric Liberator's, another first in the automatic field, and i think may have been the first stacker washer/ dryer. Have lots of fun with the machine when it arrives !! Regards Keith

Hi i will post as may pictures as soon as i get the machine, had a bit of a wobble moment as my courier could not collect machine , but all is well as vendor recommended one so it should be with me next weekend i think, hopefully, so Keith , Mike and others does your machines work? Keith yours looks brand new, apparently the owner bought mine 20 -30 years ago but never used it and preferred to go to the laundrette and it was in working order when stored, any tips on recommissioning an elderly keymatic ? many thanks Richard | ||

Hi Richard...The machine is in quite good condition.. one of the sides just needs a touch up, from a few scrapes..mine is in working order, they are great machines, and the noises they make are great, i was having a tidy up saturday morning in the garage, and thought i would wheel the ole bird out and take a few pics..hope you like them..will try and do a video at some time..Keith P.s: I have done a complete wash & spin & save cycle in the Parnall, but just waiting to get it converted to dvd to upload, as it was taken on an old video camera..!

lookin good!!
Hi Keith that looks great ,cannot wait till i get mine , i have arranged for it to sit in my mams utility room as will be clean and dry and easy to hook up to play with, luckily i had just tidied it and removed the last of my junk! Have a look on ebay for your model , there is something you might like if you dont already have it, i think mine has one but will have to wait and see. also do you know why some have hoover badges on the left ,some on the right mine looks as if it has none :( , similar to vacs why did they change sides for the logo?
