I think the highest-spinning machine from the old vintage Miele series was the W421S, and that only went to 720rpm IIRC... | ||

Yes, the spin speed of the 410 was indeed only 420 rpm. Early automatic washers didn't spin very fast. AEG had slow spinning machines too.
The spin speed of the 421S was 700 rpm, just like the 412S. IIRC, the last few models of the 421S had a newer motor that spun at 800 rpm, but I have no literature about it. | ||

Durch langsam schleudern Yes, I remember when I was in school in Paris, the old Miele (my intro to the brand) in the dormitory Laundry didn't spin very fast so they had installed a much newer Miele Extractor that spun the bejesus out of the wash before you put it in the much, much newer Miele dryer (that reversed every 40 seconds or so). I'd still like to have a home laundry room set up like that. | ||

But you can still find spare parts for such machines? The plastic and rubber ones especially. | ||

I read of someone with (I think) a 520 (which looks exactly the same as a 420) getting a NOS door boot from Miele in recent times... | ||

Boot or bought? If the story is true, the company wanted to show that is friednly with the consumer and so it's worth buying from them. The "Miele" store from Deva, Romania made 2 films with early - mid '70's "Miele" washing machines. Just for publicity probably, but still intresting. | ||

Boot, i.e. the rubber door-to-tub seal! | ||

This machines I guess had an enameled case. How versatile they where when it camed to selecting programs? I guess they where pretty relabile and lasting machines. | ||

So I could select for eg a 60 minute cycle either at 40 or 60 ° C if I wanted or a 70 minute either ar 40 or 80 ° C. There is any place on the internet whre I can download a FREE manual for it? | ||

That's a 421 Al. IIRC the Netherlands were the first export country for Miele, I guess that came with a nice marketing budget.
The later 421S had as I mentioned before an electronic door opener. That model was available until 1973, the last year it was also in the Miele catalogue. See this thread for the whole catalogue. www.automaticwasher.org/c... | ||
