Wow! What an excellent find gentleman! I can't wait to see more!!!!!!!!! I loved spin slider hotties:D Brings back many memories of my liberator and 9534!! Fantastic! Its great that we between us can all collect these excellent memorys and keep them alive. It will truely be a sad day when they get fewer and far between. I've not had a chance to listen to the sound on your videos, but i have vivid memories of my hotpoints with bad bearings that sounded like a load of stones of cottons spin! lol. Darren | ||

This thread is phenominal. Thank you so much for doing it! Its so very interesting. That machine is going to be mega when its done! hopefully lots of visual footage of it action:D:D:D Ooooooooooooooh heres a painful memory. The 95840 'Microtronic De Luxe L.E I won one of these on ebay, only to be told it wouldn't be delivered for a month! In my impatience i cancelled the entire thing. Sadly. Heres a pic of the one i won. I really wish i'd waited. Darren

Hotpoint - Low Energy
Wow, this takes me back to when they first came out, Agri Electrics here we come!!!, superb machines, you can see they had engineers designing them, everything accessible!!! The panels where about the weakest link, very brittle over time, not helped by little support behind, those dinky toggle switches are a hoot considering the size of the rockers!!!Hotpoint did a survey about which programmes where most used and guess what..numbers 2, 5 & 7 won. I love the heater built onto the front plate, well easy to remove for servicing...AND, a sound all of its own, well done boys, I hope you bought teacher mathew a beer or two!!! Looking forward to seeing the finished product...as well as using it!!! Cheers, Mike p.s. I guess it was the teacher that rested the front panel onto that dream of a tumble dryer!!! I know is wasnt you two, you`d both have been freaking at that...Lol | ||

Mike, LOLOLOLOLOL @ the control panel! T'was the devil in me that caused the UK's members to errupt into sheer excitement with that sneaky pic phone message. Well why does it surprise me that number 5 was amongst the most commonly programme. The state of my cousins white socks was just indescribable with my Aunt using number 5 to wash them with on her 9514. Add in a cup of KWIKSAVE NO FRILLS powder to the mix and its enough to turn ya stomach. Id love to moan that her teatowels and dishcloth were dirty due to the low temp cycle but seeing as they never went near the washer I cant..... I can assure you that the most commonly used cycles in this house are 1 2 4 6 and 8. number 5 is exclusive for jeans and jeans only! R | ||

First Wash Back Home
When we got back to Crewe from Cardiff we couldnt wait to get it going with a mountain of washing accrued over our weeks holiday., First wash was the whites. No.1 White Cottons @ 70deg. Being a Low Energy Machine it washes approx 10 degrees lower than the cycle number indicates unless you press superwash which sees that it washes at the full temperature for each cycle. So ~I selected number 1 and pressed superwash to get a high temp 85deg wash for whites. being white cottons I selected full spin speed of 1000rpm. Here it is not far into the wash.

The rinsing performance of this machine is also IMHO better than the Hoovers of the era despite Hoover using way much unneccessary water. THis is evident due to the fact that Hotpoint rinse cycles had a spin after each rinse whereas Hoover only had one inbetween the 2nd rinse and the 3rd of 4. Here is the complete cycle. its amazing how much you could get into a 9lb load which seems so small these days with 18lb load machines on the market ean readily available. Pic 1 nearly full

Time for a cup of coffee
Hello Rob & Paul what a brilliant thread!.........arggh that fot of you sitting there hands clasped watching! thats me aswell after i have done a rebuild......only difference is i would have an ashtray full up with fag butts, and a load of half drunk tea cups everywhere. The pictures really show the tasks involved, and the mounting excitement as you near the end of the job. Really well done, I am pleased you got something you really wanted and were able to get it right. It pi...s me off that i am not allowed to bring any of my machines into the house for real use.......I dream that one day the Bosch will blow up and i might get a chance then to bring one into the house Again well done and thanks for an excellent thread Gary | ||

Time for a cup of coffee
Hello Paul It is a pleasure to see all this, I wish took fots but i cant be asked....I just want to get on.......Electrons all have the same basic problem when i get them, "twisted tub"......so its out with trusty 13mm spanner and mole grips, molykote grease, new suspension kit and the machine upside down......., then of course there are wheels........bloody awful softish rubber ones at the back, this is worst design feature of all the early Hoovers from a stability point of view, I replace them all with suitable new ones, and then there is any rust that needs treating.........blah blah blah........you get the picture. The A3190 is basically done now it had an unusual fault in that the thermostat was playing up......that was perhaps the biggest suprise to find......especially down here The A3110 is still lovely........makes me smile when i look at it.........thanks for looking out for a spin speed button, they are for sale on some websites, but they are black (A3190 etc) and bloody expensive for what they are, if they were brown then i would swallow the cost and just get one I brought home a A3350 which i have started to work on, but i got flu and have stopped for the time being Regarding the trim on the lovely chromey Hotpoint we get them in at work from time to time, but that brown trim is always broken, however if one comes in with trim in tact i will try and remove it for you and also if any chrome doors come in i will get them I still have the purple chrome door for a Hotpoint tumble dryer here that mikechesterfield said he wanted but he has not got in touch so i dunno about that BTW the lad with tussled red hair and side burns looks ded cute in the fot right i think thats it so far Take care Gary | ||

LOL! Cheers Gary - Im assuning your referring to moi? Its certainly not red I can assure you :) Im living proof blondes CAN be intelligent! :) Have posted a pic of me in the off topic forum but heres one of me anyways. Excuse the scruffs im dressed in, AM going to raid the local spares shop on Monday - the guys not been there for months but il keep calling his mobile until he promises to be there. We need a ton of stuff as it is from there so its worth pestering him silly now as he keeps standing us up. Will see what I can do in the line of A3110 buttons etc. I f you want you can mail privately or add me to MSN if you want and you could maybe send me a list of stuff you need that I might find you - this guy has thousands of obsolete parts from machines long gone. Cheers Rob

Powerhouse,
No sigh Gary of the buttons we are trying to locate, bloody annoying especially after a weekend gathering lots of obsolete parts for other machines too. Hows the Connie going? I have a 612 awaiting restoration - you just cant beat a really heavy upright when it comes to cleaning carpets so I cant wait to get my beast up and running - should hopefully relieve the Turbomaster for a while when I need to really give the carpets a good going over. Motor and chassis is fine, it just needs a new power cord and a few minor cosmetic bits doing to it to make it better, catch you soon Rob & Paul | ||
