I would love to see some pictures of the inside of the machine. Does it have a dark blue porcelain outer tub? | ||

Grazie Riccardo!
Thank you for the wonderful video! You did a great job on restoring that Candy. My mother had a Candy too, I'm not sure but I think it was a 1965 model. No detergent dispenser either and the timer wasn't under a lid. I remember the timer was grey, there was a green on and off button and like yours the door button was red. Could you please tell what numbers on the timer correspond with which cycles? I think my mother's machine only had 6 cycles. | ||

Rijk (interesting name, it's a Dutch name, but also means rich in Dutch), It's possible that it was a Candy SAM, but I can't remember. I don't remember a 3/5 kg option though, or was it in the timer? I think I remember the timer knob was grey, a round knob with a square pointer. IIRC my mother's machine didn't have a prewash cycle and probably didn't have the delicate cycle, but not sure about that either. Thanks for bringing back memories! Luigi ;-) | ||

Congratulations
Hi Riccardo, really enjoyed the video, one of the best seen with all the pics n stills, You have made a grand restoration of a timeless classic, love the bowed front, ( interesting what goes around, comes around again, think Electrolux) What type of motor does this use?? does it have brushes/carbons?? Enjoy, Mike | ||

Great machine, nice videos too. Just like a commercial washer :-). The programme selector looks funky, and very 1960s! Love those spin starts too. Jon | ||

Update Dear friends, I've recorded a new video of my A3 washing, without the top and the back panel to see how she looks inside. Enjoy! Ric. CLICK HERE TO GO TO candyrijk's LINK | ||
