Hi all, the weather was really nasty today so decided to have a bit of a play, the two contenders were a 1980's Ariston single tub washer & a 1960's Seeboard Spin dryer (made by Tallent)
Bit of a "Foam cake" going on in the Ariston, however the spinner coped ok and rinsed brillantly. Happy washing all Cheers Keith |

Lovely set there Keith. Looks like they are in superb condition
One of the neighbours when I was growing up had a Colston coronet twin tub and I remember the whirlpool effect as it spun round assisted by that jet of water. Different storey with the washing in though - you definitely needed the lid down! It was really dangerous as for some reason the back was never attached so all the live parts were exposed. I can vaguely remember the innards. Look forward to the videos. I wonder if there are any members with the coronet as I'd love to see one again :) S |

Hi Steve,
They are in rather good condition although I may have to use the Ariston for another project, bit of a shame but the "Project machine" will be worth it :) Colston took over where Rolls left off I think, and there machines were so basic, the reviews in any Which magazines of the time reflected this, but as a cheap washer did ok i guess. The Seeboard spinner was a great find, again cheap in construction and was manufactured by Tallent which also made low-priced twin tubs. Not sure anyone in the group has a Coronet twinny, be good to see one. Cheers Keith |

Hi Paul, it is a weird one!! Never seen one before. It was made for Seeboard electricity - own brand. It is made by Tallent who i think used Rolls parts and design. It is quite fast, and i think the emptying hose is original.
Glad you liked the pics :) - ps. Sorry for the delay been in SA Cheers Keith |
