Checkrate/Likes Totally agree best hottie in my opinion, even if its a non runner they are pretty easy to work on as ya know plus there are loadsa parts eveywhere, i would rather have that hotppint than my AEG 1600 spin wi all the bells an whistles. Good luck and have fun with it

Checkrate/Likes *Hotty involved in robbery* Well thanks lads, as you know i am not well up on Hotpoints but yes these old ones are my favourites. Anyway back to the reason for the title. This machine I went to see last night on the way home from work at another site i used to work at, they ring if a suitable machine comes in and leave it outside the site so i can see it on the way home I couldnt take it as my car was full of a christmas tree and other sundry junk i carry around with me. So i left it tucked in by the fence to the site, i get there this morning and some thieving little git has used it as a step up so he can get over the fence to have a "afterhours" look around the site, apart from a little dent on the back of the cabinet it has survived.

Checkrate/Likes *Way to go Gary!* Absolutely fantastic and I am sure something could be done about knocking that new cabinet dent back out! That machine is in superb condition and is about as good as they get for a machine of that age. Date code 34 equates to October 1980. The facia sticker looks lovely - the powder drawer looks lovely. The facia mounting plate looks rustless. the undernath looks rustless. One area where even the cleanest machines tend to go is the kickstrip area, which tends to start rusting even when the rest of the machines is pristine. How is this 18370? Best Buy machine introduced in December 1979, probably in readiness for January sales time. 800 and 400rpm, with matt grey finishes to the door trim, facia trim and facia sticker and minus the mains neon. Based upon the standard machine model 18380. Wonderful find and congratulations to your network down there. It really does throw up some classics. Let us know how it all goes Gary and more piccies to feed the appetite please. lol. Paul p.s picture courtesy of Mathew's collection.

Checkrate/Likes *hotpoint 95622* Great stuff, I see she is a 3 leg suspension beast, and those bolts on that weight look bigger than the ones on my 18680 which I�m having a bit of bother with. Our poor cars have to put up with lots of abuse carrying the odd machine here and there. Look forward to photos of the first wash. Lee

Checkrate/Likes *the rusty kickstrip thing.* On our 18361 the only area of cabinet rust was on the kickstrip area, which has been roughly sanded down and which awaits a coat of dark bronze paint. Apart from this and the tub, this machine is absolutely immaculate....

Checkrate/Likes *'Our poor cars have to put up with lots of abuse carryin* Hiya Lee. You said it! My car was immaculate before all this appliance lark kicked off. Now the boot trim is all scratched to hell and it gets treated, admittedly gently, as a workhorse. Am planning on getting a new car shortly and there will be industrial doormats and protection all over the new one. No matter how careful you are, these lumps of metal just seem to cuts, scratch and scrape everything in your car. Paul

Checkrate/Likes *The rusty kickstrip area - part 2* Another new addition to the collection is this 1842 Super Electronic. Again in absolutely superb condition with no rust apart from the kickstrip. Obviosuly a weakpoint in the design. The 1842 was a late addition to the 18-series family and was a Currys exclusive, this machine dating from January 1983. paul

Checkrate/Likes and the machine from which all the 4 button, post liberator, standard machnes were based upon - the Hotpoint 18380. Useful to see the polished chrome finishes, versus the matt grey 'Best Buy' 18370. Really over the moon Gary. Congrats on the new find. Paul

Checkrate/Likes Hiya Rob. They were inded a smart looking machine - easy to get at the insides of too, with their removable front and back panels. Although whether the extra ease here is negated a bit by not being able to get in from the top! I dont know. The picture you posted is of the 18580, from the 1979 series of post purple machines. The lineup comprised: 15690 top loader 18340 2 button 18380 4 button 18580 4 button variable 18780 Microtronic X2000 The 15690 was replaced by the 15790 and 15792, which saw colouring changes to the facia and an Almond cabinet in the case of the 15792. The 18340 2 button machine had spin offs, in the form of the 18331 and 18361. The 18380 4 button span off the 18370, 18371 and 18381, plus 1842 and 1852 Currys exclusives. The 18580 4 button variable morphed into the 18680, but the only difference was that the outer edge of the facia panel was a bronze colour, rather than dark silver. Compare your picture with the piccies of Lee's lovely example of the 18680, to see the difference. The 18780 microtronic (introduced circa 1980/81) became the 18880, when the spin speed was boosted from 800 upto 1000rpm. There were also Microtronic models 18871, 18872 and 18873 which were all 'Superbuy' or exclusives. Quite why they plucked the last three digits totally randomly, god only knows. Certainly makes it difficult to pick up. Hope the above helps. Cheers paul

Checkrate/Likes *Ask my dad about the motor on the top!* He really liked the 95452 for this feature. Not so obvious with the 18-series and the non-removable top part of the bodyshell, but the motor being on the top of the 95 drums made them a sinch to get at and remove. Whip the lid off and there it was - remove a couple of bolts and motor off. Brushes replaced in the blink of an eye. Versus machines with motors on the underneath of the drum - either tip the machine over or contort yourself on the floor to get at the bolts. My dad is in for a shock when my parents WF740 starts playing up and he finds the motor back underneath. fun and games for the future. Paul

Checkrate/Likes *Pretty machines* Especially the 18580 Don't these models only spin for 10 seconds after the rinses? From the videos of them and vague recollections of using these machines in years gone by, they can't pump the water away fast enough in that time, so they just spend 10 seconds splashing water down the glass, pointless really. Luckily it seems they improved the spins somwhat on later models, ofcourse these earlier machines were the pinaccle of Hotpoint's in terms of build quality though, having an extra suspension leg and an enamel tub I believe? I agree I think if it were mine I'd like to get a chrome door for it :-) Matt

Checkrate/Likes *hotpoint 95622* No spare door and yes your quite right the chrome doors are better looking, but have just found a video I did a while back. Yes the spins are short and the first few don�t pump out fast enough, I have copied the program timings into my project chip and that�s one of the problems, the gap between the tub and drum is smaller on plastic units compared to the enamelled tubs and the drag on the drum from the excess water put strain on the motor.

Checkrate/Likes How do Gary. The only doors we have are pitted and scratched to hell and ones that you wouldnt want on your machine. The matt grey aint that bad! Will keep our eyes peeld for a polished door for you though. Hiya Matt. Yep - these machines had enamelled tubs, but went down to two legged suspension from the early 80s onwards. Also, some models e.g 1852 served as 'new generation' prototypes and were fitted with plastic outer tubs. Weirdly enough, there were also batches of early 'new generation' machines which were fitted with enamel tubs. Swings and roundabouts! As ever, the only bind with the old enamel tubs is the curse of rust! The slightest nick or dent can start it off and 25 to 30 years down the line they are a bitch to repair. Lee - honest to god, your 18680 is a truly great looking machine. Will be saving your latest vid to my favourites very shortly. Cheers paul

Checkrate/Likes Fab machine you have there, it really is in great condition on the inside as well as the outside, looks like new. My nan had one of these machines but hers had purple door glass so not sure of the model number but it looked very similar. Would you say these machines were better built than the A3110 Hoover that I have?

Checkrate/Likes *Chrome Doors* Paul Thats ok it is just a thought, i have to remove the cabinet at some time and straighten out the dent. Lee I rememebr your vids and was so impressed with how smooth the machine sounded, and also the fact that it such a great looking machine Matt yes as Lee has stated i did notice very short spins on the rinse cycle and then about 10 seconds of pumping out, it is interesting how different manufacturers dealt with this problem then, I remember my old Servis quartz 1000 would kick straight up to 1000 rpm on the rinse cycles......soap suds every where and no wonder the bearings went so quickly Gary

Apart from the motor packing up the only blemish is a bit of plastic has broken off of the rotory knob. Maybe someone knows where I can get a replacement? Here are another couple of pics. Gary.

Checkrate/Likes Hi Gary. I can see the cracked piece now. To be honest, even cracked like that, your dial is still in great shape. They tended to accumulate grease and all sorts of rubbish between the plastic dial front and metal disk which detailed the programmes. Will have a look for one though. Dial Replacement (this is a right mouthful!)... if you do find a replacement dial, and come to fit it (I might be telling you what you already know), you need to remove the centre disc of the dial, to gain access to the dial locking disk. The shiny centre of the dial is effectively a hub cap, held on with a sticky pad. Push gently on the edge of this hub cap to deflect it slightly, enabling you to get something behind it at the opposite side (a teaspoon would probably do). Gently tug the hub cap away from the centre of the dial - it should peel away quite easily. Once removed, this will reveal either the sticky pad left behind (remove this) or a clean locking disk, with a groove running across it. To see what I mean, scroll up a bit to look at Lee's 18680 programmer dial photo, which has had the shiny disk removed and shows the groove running across the centre. Take a 2p or 50p piece, insert the edge of the coin in the groove, and turn gently anti-clockise. It should move about half a centimetre to the left and your dial should be unlocked. The locking disk can be removed (its a seperate component) and the dial should simply now pull away from the machine and slip off the programmer shaft. The variable spin dial is simply pushed onto the shaft - a bit of tugging should result in this pulling away from the machine. You dont need to remove the hub cap from this dial. If ever you needed to remove the entire front off the machine, you need to remove the powder drawer (a gentle tug) and the dial(s) to gain access to the screws that hold the facia to the machine. Removal of the facia will reveal the top front panel screws. All just fits together, with each set of panel screws being hidden under another component - front panel screws hidden behind the facia panel and the facia panel screws being hidden behind the dial (and powder drawer). I only mention all this because of the number of 18-series washers and 17-series dryers I have seen, with ruined dial locking disks as people have fought with them to get them off. That really is one great 18580 - still havent got over it. Paul

Checkrate/Likes Hi Paul, thanks for that info mate. I was wondering how it came off as I had given it a bit of a tug and it wasn't moving. Unfortunately it got broken by the removal man when he moved it into my house. It is a shame because it was mint beforehand. I have been in touch with Mark about the motor so fingers crossed he can help me out. Cheers, Gary.

Checkrate/Likes *No probs Gary.* Cracked dial = nothing in the grand scheme of things. You can hardly tell in the pics. Machine is still a stunner. Forgot to mention - should you ever come to remove the dial: take care not to bend the shiny hub cap, when pulling it away - take your time - you shouldnt have to fight it. the variable spin dial will be a VERY tight fit - a swine to pull off and equally a swine to put back on. the programmer dial will only go back on the machine in a certain position, so you shouldnt have to worry about misaligning the programmes. Just check this though, with the individual machine. fingers crossed for the motor! cheers Paul

Checkrate/Likes Hi Freddie19, was just thinking why not just put a new armature on the motor?,cheap as chips, repair done with change from �20 notes. Well thats what I would do anyway, part number 1603071. good luck whatever you decide to do.
