I don't know about the washing machine but that stove is the same one my parents had when they moved into their first house in the 1950's - English Electric I beleive?

Hmmm, well my first thought was that this might be a Parnall with the shiny roller guides but I am not so sure now, its not a good picture but the porportions seem a bit off for a Parnall. Actually its that wringer that its putting me off, it does not look similar to any of the Parnall or EE pictures. My next thought was Ada but it does not look much like Lance's Ada either. Sounds like someone needs to go check this one out .....

Well I'm not sure but I think it's a Ritemp, which was possibly a division of English Electric.
I remember my aunt Jane having one and I'm pretty sure it looked like that.
I fancy having a bid at it but if any other member wants it please say so and I will leave it alone.
Cheers
Lance

Yes its an English Electric Ritemp, although at first I thought it was the ADA model made for the CWS Co-op brand!!

Looks like they where both bought together, go for it Lance but make sure you get the cooker as well!!

Boxes of Bits

£30 is a high starting price for such stuff, which a lot of people would have binned. I was given a whole van-full of assorted appliance spares by a retired repairer. I had taken a bottle of single malt to give him but on receipt of that he found me some more gear, Hotpoint and Servis diagnostic equipment!

I agree with you but as parts are becoming more scarce and we will run out ourselves it sometimes is a given we will have to pay over the odds. Now if you ever want to part with your diagnostic for servis I may be interested?

To me your comment is pointless and obtuse, please remember you are on a site where people restore old machines and are looking for various parts. as Austin has pointed out spares for these machines are becoming rarer (or for any other old machine) so that will dictate price for any spares for any product, it is a pity you cannot make more positive comments about subjects on here.

The joy that people experience when they have found "that part" is superb and even if they have had to pay through the nose for it it is still a joy, in this world where spares and repairing items is becoming a thing of the past, to people like us on this group this sort of activity is very sad

So i say to anyone who has success rebuilding an old appliance good luck and well done, how ever much it cost you

you are dead right and sometimes its not the cost of the part its the feeling of satisfaction of being able to resurrect a machine that others have decided not to bother repairing. I have put a bid on the box of parts and hope to share them with others that may need the odd item wish me luck :o)

Plus it still has the protective plastic on covering the chrome trim, shame there's no internal picture of the wash tub.

And not in that condition which is pretty good for a machine that is probably over 30 years old - it is a tad pricy though.

This was pretty much the last gasp of the Rolls washing twin tub which first emerged in around 1958/59 and was actually based on a Dutch design.

The machine has a circular tub with a round pulsator offset to one side on the bottom, with the drain to the pump offset on the other. Water recirculates all the time the motor is running although this is more of a cost saving (and not unlike the Hoover in that respect) as there was no filtration.

Lance's machine in the video is much older, but the washing function was more or less exactly the same

money shot, rolls rapide

This is the wash tub of the rolls, I did see an ariston single tub must be 25 years ago, the tub was as this one but black enamell with white specks, simlar to the hotpoint twin tub wash bowl, and with a black plastic impellor.

Al I agree the pump spout is a sort of economy feature in that it was cheaper to built a continuous flow rather than valves or idlers etc, but having used this machine several times I would say the jet goes quite some way in adding to the washing performance. It seems to break up the circular motion of the load and help the clothes move from the top to lower down in the tub, not very well explained I know but whether it was designed that way or just it was the easiest place to put it the jet is part of the wash action.

As you say Gary if it was closer I would definatly go for it.

Mathew

Spin can

this was the later rolls designed spin can, called the centramatic spin dryer, found on the deluxe model. Supposedly the cone shape, spun the water down through the load and out at the bottom ring of hole, aiding better rinsing in the spin dryer. The standard machine, ie no heater, had an ordinary cylindrical drum.
