Chris, they come up from time to time on UK ebay, although I have been surprised by how much they go for. Came with accessories too. Just being nosy, but why the big interest in that machine? I always thought (I am old enough to remmeber them being on sale) they were a bit limited with only two speeds and the fixed head.

These machines used a permanent magnet brush driven armature motor, They coped very well under load,with very little maintenance and supprisingly normal brush wear.. |

IIRC the TOL machine from that range did have a separate spin control and a temperature control. Besides that I think there were two push buttons too.
Again IIRC the TOL model had a 1000 or 1200rpm spin speed, the first Philips frontloader with a higher than 850 rpm spinspeed. Also the first Philips washer with a spin control and a spin speed higher than 850rpm (the older 1000 rpm Philips Slimstar models didn't have a control for the spinspeed). And again IIRC this was the first Philips series with a plastic outer drum. |

Wow what a nice looking washer that is, I notice that it is in a two tone brown colour scheme I wonder if this was universal to Philips, because in the 80"s Philips had a range of fridges called the Super Chill range and thye also had a two tone brown colour scheme on the inside and the Philips Gentle Care washer range were also fashioned in the same scheme,in fact I think I saw a Philips twin tub on ebay the other day.

"And again IIRC this was the first Philips series with a plastic outer drum"
Sorry Louis, missed the target with this one. I had a Philips Variotronic 082 Machine bought in 1980 which had a a plastic outer drum, I well remember the demonstrator with perspex windows when i went to buy it. It also had variable spin (850 max spin speed I think), but no temperature control. Al |

I just looked up the 1982 Philips brochure. Nothing is mentioned about a plastic outer drum. Not a about a metal one either btw. Perhaps they didn't want to tell the consumer (yet?)
I also remember that the newer series as in the picture was introduced as having a plastic drum. And that was widely advertised. I don't remember though that they said it was new on Philips machines, so you might be right. |

Al,
Like many of us here, I have another hobby outside of washing machines....well, partly because I've been advised that washing machine collecting is not a 'happening thing'....
...so I like mixers....especially Sunbeams and Kenwood Chefs...
But very little screams style like the Braun KM300 and the Philips.... |

Paul,
I thought I had scanned that brochure some time, but apparently didn't, no such thing as a scan on my computer or in the archives. Unfortunately I don't have a scanner anymore. The models shown in the brochure are the AWB901 and AWB904 (BOL models), the AWB911, the AWB913 and the AWB921, the TOL model. Brown fascias with brown controls and chrome doors except for the BOL models. I found one picture on my computer that shows the AWB921 (or similar). It's a picture of the 84/85 brochure, the brochure dates from January 1984, the color of the control panel was changed by then I think. |

The Philips machines were in a class of there own, Philips were innovators aswell in all areas, yes i understand the feeling of coming all over Philipsy Paul :-)
BUT I Would Love to be Able To Get Hold Of A Packet Of PERSIL NEW SYSTEM it was the very first washing powder i ever bought in 1979/80 (even though i only had a Hoover single tub machine), but to me in the 80s all you had was Persil, Aerial or Dreft for colours, arghhhhh memories Anyway great thread and yes indeed Hassney you have provided a wealth of adverts for us to watch and remember so thanks for your efforts there |
