Met up with Al last weekend to pick up another few classic finds for everyone to share @ The Emporium. A rainy day in Cumbria didnt dampen our enthusiasm as we stepped into a vintage timewarp from the early 70`s. This was a newbuild house early 70`s high above the town was situated in a close of 8 detached tall roofed houses with tree filled gardens. The original owners stayed until present day and the now new owner was busy transforming it into a modern home for his family....
Here are the first pics straight from the cars..Presenting the Hotpoint 1504 top loader from 1971 and the Hoover black paneled Superjet dishwasher with spinning basket !! |

I first saw this model as a kid visiting my friend whose parents ran a large pub and restaurant. This was the work and family washer, situated in an upstairs room the tall back could be seen from the roadway outside, (at eye level from the school bus ha ha ) the waste pipe used to billow steam from all the hotwashes as it hit the drain on cold days.

It also had a "Bio" or powders switch which made any programme COLD fill and took advantage of the new range of biological detergents such as Ariel....
A two position SPIN selector was for a long Cottons spin @ 1050rpm and a shorter spin for delicate fabrics. A 3 position LOAD LEVEL gave you options for Small Medium or Large capacity which was rated at 11lbs of dry clothing. |

At this point am hoping Al has more pics of the Hoover SuperJet Dishwasher, I am just editing film footage of the Hotpoint BUT just after the wash filming we had a flood (talk about Pride before a Fall) which gave me a serious sense of humour failure knowing we had to move every single piece of kit to mop dry...ha ha - NOT !!
There was a good outcome though, the next words uttered where " Well That Settles It - the newbuild is having 4 inch standpipes and floor drains - Yup The link is to a super thread that Paul (MatchboxPaul) produced a while ago and shows the timeline and info on the fabulous washing machines!!

Wonderful finds gentlemen! I love the timeline styling of the 1504.
With that grid the dishwasher looks a bit like an early Indesit dishwasher. See the picture in this thread. www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... |

Car wash?
Cheeky bugger! Having just done a 360 mile round trip in drizzly weather on salted roads you would hardly expect it to be clean! Louis, the dishwasher was manufactured by Zanussi (who also made Hoover refrigeration products) and was also marketed under the Rex name. Ian, I was actually thinking of a Moffat Fiesta 24 to match the door, although thinking about it i do already have the Moffat built in .... Mikeyd, thank you for the kind words, I never see a posting from you where I am not reminded of the stunning pictures you have posted of your wringer washers :) Gansky1, will try and do some "money shots" tomorrow but for the moment here is a video of the very similar Autojet jet machine, also part of our collection :) I have not suggested to Mike (yet!!!!) that we take a buzzsaw to the door of one of them to install a window LOLOLOLOL Al |

What a great set guys. Can't believe how good the condition of them both are. The inside of the 1504 looks amazing - it doesn't look like it has ever leaked from the seals judging by the condition of the support tube! I wonder if the earlier arrangement with the lower bar and bush coupled with the bearing race made for smoother operation and less strain on the seals. The bottom is in great condition too which is surprising given the state of the back panel! Did it have any of the service history written on it like Richards? Hope it was fully drained before it went in the car! Hardly any cobwebs in the bottom of the dishwasher too. Amazing
Well done and looks great with the new line up. Al, you'd better consider making the extension 3 storey at this rate lol. S :) |

Sorry I have not had time to do any clean up on the machine yet
The Rinseaid tank (pic 3) lives behind the "Superjet" panel. The white part pulls out to let the rinse aid pour in. It is a "reverse rack" system with the plates on top, cups etc. on the bottom. There is a semi-circular additional rack but I could not work out how that fits. |

Congratulations!
Very nice set! Love the Zanussi made Hoover. In the 70's we also had this particular model branded ZANUSSI-KONČAR.

Hi Mark, thanks and now we can have a test wash next time over with all those fab Tide detergents you brought last time...
Darren, yes just when ya think theres non about out the woodwork they come ha ha... Ian , "Bombsite - where" !! ha ha really glad you had a grand time. and very little use and well cared for like the rest of the house...I wondered where the circles where used, a nice touch me thinks !! Louis, thanks , this is the first Hotpoint Timeline does look rather fetching I think and yes you can see the resemblances to the earlier Indesit / Zanussi`s. Mikey, yes its good to finally get them together but dont hold ya breathe too long there will be another along soon to complete all the style series... Hi Greg, Yes the pump still works smoothly even with the little drip, probably just a new cork seal required and a canvass strap. Did later GE filterflows have the same pump arrangement or did they go electric ? |
