Paul, good to see you found your mystery machine. Now I have seen it I know what you were on about. This machine had a picture in a text book I know of. Didnt put 2 and 2 together at the time or I might of been able to put you out your misery sooner. I got your email, im not being ignorant just no time yet to reply as such. Cant get near the pc these days with parents wanting to book holidays. My phone is great for posting here but not for mail. Fantastic spreadsheets! I was thinking, we really do need to go down, well me down and you up to Blythe Bridge and see if we can get something out of them. Has to be something there. Lets arrange something! Rob

That creda is awesome. it looks like it could be related to the servis quartz of the time too. it uses the same font on the microelectronic 1000 lettering too! My neighbour had an electronic creda. Damn they were some of my best laundry days, i used to hang round their on weekends n stuff n she'd let me do laundry! Was amazing! Darren |

Hi Paul Thanks for the great pic, I must confess I have never seen that model before. As I said before ages ago Creda was one of my favorite makes when I was growing up. I absolutely loved the square door Creda. I think in many ways they were quite innovative. The Super de luxe had a special rhythm spin unheard of at the time. I seem to remember it sounded like a jet engine taking off when it went into spin. Alas Creda seemed to fade and was merged with Hotpoint by the 90s (correct me if I'm wrong). An old friend of mine had the chrome door, black fascia type in 1990. It had a basic dial (like a Hoover) and 2 buttons I believe. Alas I never saw it work and do not know what happened to it. I think he still had it in 95 but we lost touch. Rob |
