Hi all.

First off - Happy New Year and best wishes to everyone for the New Year.
May it be a successful and prosperous one for everyone at Discuss o Mat.


The main purpose of this thread is to let people showcase the machines that surfaced during 2010 and that they were able to offer a home to.

These can be ebay buys, thrift and second hand shop discoveries, swaps and exchanges, rescue missions and inherited machines. Any avenues really.



Here in the UK, 2010 has proved to be a very successful year for machine preservation, with the year offering up a decent list of vintage machines and a number of uber rare classics surfacing for the first time in many, many, many years.

Be great to see what people worldwide have managed to find.


I wonder what 2011 will produce!?!

Once again, happy new year all.

Regards
Paul

January 2010

Towards the end of 2009, I received an out of the blue e-mail from a lady offering me an Instruction manual.

Her machine had stopped working and had been written off buy the serviving bloke who had cared for it for many years.

She had discovered the site and an old thread containing details of her machine, clicked on my user name, and had taken the time to offer me the manual.

Pursuing the subject, I enquired about the machine itself and whether it was available for disposal.
Word came back that I could have the machine for gratis, if I wanted it, and that she would much prefer it to go to a good home that the tip.

Hoping that the machine would be close buy, my heart sank when the response came back that it was in Chichester - a fair few hundred miles away, on the south coast of England! Biting the bullet and having got my head around the trip, a collection date early in the then new year 2010 (weather permitting) was agreed and myself and Rob headed down south in a snowy early January.

Dating from October 1982, the machine was a Hotpoint 18371 Super Electronic with instruction manual and full service history.

Needs repairing still, as the previous owner was told that the machine had jumped off its suspension, blowing the module in the process. Given time, I am sure it will be energised again one day and we welcomed our third Hotpoint 18-series to the collection...

Hotpoint Liberator De Luxe 1851-03

hotpoint95622's profile picture
My only find for 2010 was the liberator de luxe 1851/03, a machine I have been longing for, four some time, it came via the thread for the liberator de luxe 1828/02 and another member wishing to move it on.

This machine is still work in progress, it’s a shame the bad weather over December stopped the restoration, at -15c it was too cold to work out in the garage, now bloody illness have put a stop on it, still much to do and I’m looking forward to completing the restoration soon.

Not much of a photo, she’s not at her best in this one.

2010 was an over whelming year for me, appliance wise!

revvinkevin's profile picture

Hello and Happy New Year to everyone out there, I hope 2011 will be at least as good, if not much far better then 2010 for us all!

Mike, that Bendix set is absolutely stunning! WOW!

Now I have to say… among all my 2010 acquisitions, I was not specifically looking for any of them. For many it was “right place at the right time” or I was just looking through Craig’s List and happened across an ad for something that caught my eye.

Starting with the beginning of 2010, Andy (RedCarperDrew) and his wife drove down from Reno, Nevada (about 9 hours one way) and brought “a few machines” to trade for a turquoise, 1959 Maytag washer and dryer I had for him. He brought this beautiful 1970 GE V-16 program washer and matching dryer, the 1973 Frigidaire 1-18 washer & matching dryer, plus this little 1971 GE portable washer (made by Hitachi).

Two weeks later, my friend Scott here from AW made me an offer I couldn’t refuse on this 1970 Hoover 0515. I brought it home along with a bunch of spare parts. Then in December 2010, it was resurrected and now lives again! (Thanks again Tim!)

Another week goes by and a friend gives me his 2004 Whirlpool Calypso washer after buying a new Kenmore Elite front load steam washer.

Then the following week… I go and buy the same model Kenmore Elite washer he did, just in a different color. The only reason I bought it, it was on close out and the price was marked down 65%, more then $1000 off!!! How could I NOT buy it, right?

Now late March 2010. A friend in San Diego e-mails me a link to a Craigs List ad for an old Bendix front load washer & dryer. It turns out to be a 1953 or 1954 Bendix model WEG-H, “Magic Heater” washer! Imagine, mid 50’s front load washer with a built in heater! I had no idea! Of course I HAD to go buy them!

Then in early May, Robert (our AWESOME webmaster) posts info that a guy (local to me) listed a 1959 Lady Kenmore combo washer/dryer (in PINK no less) on Ebay. I contact the seller and go look at it since it’s only 30 minutes away. After looking at it and talking with the seller for a while, I make him an offer to take it off Ebay and sell it to me. He declines (much to his regret, I’m sure) saying he’s going to let the auction run it’s course. That was completely understandable. However, I was the only bidder and won the LK Combo for A FRACTION of what I offered him the week prior! I picked it up just a day before flying to Minneapolis for Robert & Fred’s fabulous Wash-In.

At the end of April, a month after having the most AMAZING time of my life at Robert & Fred’s Wash-In, I’m wasting time searching Craig’s list again and come across an ad for this 1963 Lady Kenmore 800 washer.  Again it’s less then 30 minutes away and I go meet the seller. It was his mothers washer for many years, but she’s no longer around and he’s selling the house. The washer more or less works (it tries to agitate and spin at the time) but it does need a full rebuild… bearings, seals, pump, etc.

But hey, considering I only paid $10 for it, I couldn’t pass it up!

On September 7th, Malcolm (MRB627) posts a Craig’s List link here on AW for this set. The washer is exactly the same as one I brought home from Phoenix, AZ over a year earlier, but unfortunately it was too far gone to be repairable. Since this one is in much better condition and has a matching dryer, on Saturday, Sept 11, I drove from LA to Yuma, AZ and back (11 hours round trip) to pick them up.

We are now in December and the time has finally come to make the drive to central California to pick up a washer that’s been sitting there waiting for me for 3 or 4 months.

Earlier in the year, March perhaps, I did something I would normally NEVER do, I bought a washer that was on the other side of the country! This 1970 Kenmore 800 washer traveled from Boston all the way to LA! Fortunately a good friend who has an affinity for Kenmore washers & dryers and has a way to move things to certain parts of the country for very little cost, arranged to get this washer to California for me. THANKS GORDON!

OOPS, almost forgot about this one....

revvinkevin's profile picture

A Kitchenaid (made by Hobart) KD-A portable top loading dishwasher! This one arrived in early August, 2010. It's somewhere between 38 and 46 years old (not exactly sure), but the "hurricane in a box" still works GREAT!

SO there you have it... 2010 had been a banner year for appliance acquisitions!

Happy New Year!
Kevin

Along came this...

Firstly the Hotpoint 1509/05 appeared in 2010! It is in store for the moment, but it will go for a rebuild in due course, and then a Hotpoint Spindryer emerged too.

Happy New Year to all in AW land!!

The Bendix shown above was a really good washer with a very gentle drum pattern during heat up then 12 min wash and very good rinsing the spin was OK but not the best

Thanks guys for posting the pics.

Kevin - Loving the blue colour of your Kenmore - a really lovely shade. Oh to have a laundry setup like yours - I am still waiting on the lottery win. lol.

Tony - the Indesit L8 looks very much at home. Really was an awesome find and good to see pics of it, as previously the only image I had seen of it was in the form of a black and white line drawing.
Keeping my fingers crossed that an L10 surfaces in 2011!

Lee - yep....it did get a tad chilly didnt it. brrrrrr. I am steering clear of touching our machines at the moment, as I just dont trust the plastics in such cold weather. Beward New and Next Generation facias - in this weather, brittle aint the word!
Cant wait to see progress resume on the 1851/03.
You will probably have had yours totally sorted in the time its taking us to merely plug and play! Will have to have a purple celebration day and get them all together.

Seamus - still remember my excitement at work as you drip fed me teaser shots of your A3112. Really is a stunning machine.

Mike - was racking my brains yesterday. Methinks a New and Next Generation Hotpoint turned up in 2011 too!

Chris - lovely Electron dryer (D6292 or D6294 - can never remember which colour scheme was which).

David - good luck with the move to Ireland! Hope everything falls into place quickly for you both, with the machines close behind.

Regards to all
Paul

and t'other one

...in the form of the other 1509/05 Automatic de luxe, saved in 2010.

This machine subsequently went all around the houses, travelling from Plymouth to Cardiff. Then Cardiff to Chester. Then Chester to Kings Lynn. Then Kings Lynn back to Chester and now awaits final delivery to me in Derby.

I have seen two teaser pics of it and all I will say is that its appearance has drastically changed from the picture below...

...saw us adopt a Hotpoint 9554A Microtronic 1000 De Luxe, courtesy of Gary.

It had been taken to the tip, with completely seized bearings and a locked drum. A total drum transplant later and the machinewas working again.

Has since received a replacement lid, but awaits slight touching up of the front panel...

Hi Paul..
Happy New Year to all you guys "up north"..

Just saw the pic's of the Crystaljet dishwasher, looks absolutely fab, and brought back so many memories, this was the first dishwasher my parents had back in '86..and went on for some 15years.

The only thing remaining is the pamphlet.

Here's hoping for a good crop of machines for 2011 !!

Friday 1-7-2011-> first catch of the year a 50LB 1987 Wascomat FL184(3 phase). Another massive, awesome machine!

Last year I say I got several machines crossed off my 'essential machines' list. This year started off to a good note with the FL184

Hi Melvin.

Cheers for showing us your 2010 finds. Some familiar european machines there too, in the form of the big Bosch and the Ariston. Have seen those over the years in Comet and Currys in the UK.

Love the classic Bendix!

In the form of a Hotpoint 93580 Super De Luxe Dryer - anyone with a New Generation, non-creaseguard dial going spare?

Thor automagic august 2010

Hi paul and all,Happy 2011.My find of 2010 was a Thor Automagic.It worked well at first but it,s downfall was a badly rusted tub base,especialy just above the motor which got wet and burned out.So that was the end of that.It appears that seeing other Thors manufactured elsewhere that they were built with a vitreous enameled outer tub, whereas our english built machines only had painted tubs.Im used to moving washers but i havent encounterd such a heavy washer before ,it felt like it bolted to floor.I dont have any pictures of the washer but i did keep the instruction book and ilustrated parts list with prices.So if anybody wants an instruction book and parts list going free to a good home will only cost you postage let us know.Was a fun machine whilst it lasted and had a very powerful long stroke agitation.2011 is looking good already,spotted on ebay for january Zanussi Wascraft 929.Philco Bendix home laundry center.Electra microtronic 900 A.K A. Servis quartz and just for Paul a Hotpoint Microtronic that looks prety good and only in Leicester.Have tried to post some pictures of the Thor literiture.All have good new year regards Nige.

Ilustrated parts list.On wishlist for 2011 would be a bolt down Bendix.I did see a couple on Ebay last year but they were ex launderete machines so would have been 3 phase supply so not suitable.Regards nige

The Put-Away-Wet Kenmore from 1972 was a luscious find - so minty after it's center-post re-sealing surgery.

The GE set I got from John in Maryland this Spring. Almost identical to my childhood washer and dryer.

Not really "new" this year except for the Radarange, but the garage got a makeover and we have two dishwashers installed and ready for duty. A huge shout-out to Cory for sending the panel to the RR-10 making it a contributing member of the collection again and failing to mention Ben's assistance with numerous repairs and electrical magic spells would be a massive blunder! The Maytag combo lives again, the Marantz 2270 receiver plays and of course, the Power Surge we've all been working on for a couple of years!

The Bendix 7133 was the 1st machine I bought when I moved into my first flat. It was second hand.....unfortunately it developed a serious leak via the thermostat seal after 3months...I replaced the seal but wired up the thermostat incorrectly and the machine blew causing the machine to behave strangely. It would fill, spin, drain, tumble, fill then pump out. Entertaining to watch but not practical for washing clothes....it went back to the second hand appliance store I got it from.

No surprises there. The first Hoover dishwashers were manufactured by Zanussi. I believe the second series were manufactured in the UK, but that would be mid 1970s. I had a machine like Paul's from 1988 until around 1995 as my "daily driver" but I did not like it much, its did not seem as good as the Philips which i had before or the Indesit I had after.

The Hoover super-jet, I miss mine, with that quirky rotating basket, great clouds of steam from the air vent in the front, sham it just rusted to nothing.

Hoover T5054 Hoovermatic De Luxe ...

Does the one YOU are picturing have the "agitator" (see attached pic below) with the filter try atop of it whereby the water flows over it to clean out LINT? I/m in Ontario CANADA and had one, 1971 to 1980, that I sold due to having less time to be so interactive with after my son was born. DO you know anywhere in CANADA I could get another? Every time I search, I only get sites for UK that don't ship to Canada. Mine was labelled KENMORE, which is /was a SEARs brand, which was a subsisidurry of the now defunct, "Simpsons" / "Simpson Sears". My "x" used to work there

The attached pic is the closest I've found that was like mine; however, mine was the original "Avocado Green" colour. I also had the apartment-size Hoover clothes dryer, which was also green, but they didn't match each other – Thanks
