Hey Guys,
Just thought I would share with you a recent acquisition, a very rare Hotpoint brochure from 1965, I would class it as rare as most of us know the 1420 supermatic was only made for 12-18months.

The only reason I have taken a picture of it as it is too big to scan, it shows the new line up in great detail. 1500/1420 Countess/Empress/Spinner. I remember getting a single page (a4) photocopy of this brochure about 20 years ago from Hotpoint and just assumed it was single sheet info, never thought it was a brochure. It is great how it opens up as well.

Any further questions let me know.
Keith

Forgot to ask..Was the 1420 the first model with the Spiralator agitator? In the brochure the agitator appears to black. Was it black before they changed to the White one?

Hi Mark,

The 1420 had a four-vane black agi, as used in the countess & princess..the brochure shows both agitators as the top loading auto used the new Spiralator and the New Supermatic used the traditional method.

After this Supermatic, can the 1450 which was the first machine to introduce the Spiralator / white agi.

Hi Keith

Thanks for your response and clearing up my question. I remember seeing another pic of the 1420 and im sure it showed the filter tray which is like the one on the 1400 so I guessed it would have been the same agitator as the 1400. What confused me was the pic in the brochure of what looks like a Black Spiralator.

Mark

Mark you are right, have just zoomed in on the leaflet and on the RHS its showing  a BLCK Spiralator with a Turquoise Filter Tray..its seems to be dissing Hoover and Servis Agitation in favour of "Tangle Free" 

 

Keith can you not fold the the sections to A4 size and scan please, you have some great literature but you dont half tease us with stuff we can see!!    LOl

 

Hope you are good after the leg op, sorry we didnt get to catch up again at Al's earlier this month!!

 

Cheers, Mike

Hi Keith.

Looks like a superb brochure, from the earliest days of Hotpoint and its automatic.

Seconding Mike here - would be great to see the pages in greater detail, to get the full Hotpoint low down!
Even good photos of the pages would do - thats what I usually do with my brochures.

Be great to know more about their early 60s offerings.

Paul
