Hi Guys...
A lady called me in the week and said she had an old spinner, I thought can I really be bothered to go and get it, it had been a mental week at work what with month-end, but thought well it's not far and she did go to the effort of calling me, so popped over to Oxford and had a look..It is a lovely, almost mint Servis Rinspin from about 1966-ish, no scratches or dents and even had the instruction booklett..and all for free !! ....now where is that MK22/38 or 41 to complete the whole line up !! LOL Cheers Keith |

A great addition to the collection, Keith. In such great condition - very well cared for. Definitely a Mk44 Keith, or a Mk45? Congratulation on a neat little find. Paul |

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your kind comments. I will take a pic of the back when i get 5 mins, I think this machine has had a chute change, if i remember rightly they had a big wide blue think rubber spout, this one has a slighlty harder more square lighter grey spout, still does the job nicely and doesn't look too out of place. Mike..I will try and give and give her a call this week, I just dismissed what say was saying as i thought it was a Hotpoint she was on about. LOL Cheers Keith |

Hi Mike,
Yes it was like very wide, the one on there now is like a Astral spout, and looking at it i think it probably is. I have to say it spins like a dream, i did look at the stats and the gravity spins at 3000rpm and the pump version 2850rpm, and virtually vibration-less !! That Mk37 is weird with the blue plastic top.. Cheers Keith |
