Thanks to Austin who came up and repaired my Rolls twin tub yesterday.
i will get some photos on soon.
Andy got stuck in to washing 300 white napkins with a couple of Hoovermatics then Austin washed in the Empress and rinsed in the Servis mark 2.
The said Austin and said washers
Your vintage machines just fit right in.
Have just shown my mum the above piccy and she recognised a Hotpoint Empress straight away.
The Empress was my grandmas first electric washing machine and was bought circa 1958/59, when they emigrated across the Pennines from Yorkshire to Lancashire and it operated alongside an ACME Sun Breeze tumble dryer.
The dryer was replaced by a Hotpoint Liberator Dryer in 1975 and the Empress was replaced by an Electra A3E02 (an electricity board Hoover Matchbox) around 1976/77.
