didnt your mum have one? My Nana (paternal) had the 1000 rpm model. The programmer was very clicky as were the buttons. They always struck me as very gentle at washing. Only about 45 rpm on cotton. I love the drum too. They used to give a faint wooo noise on the spin ramp up i remember. When the motor went, boy did it stink the kitchen out. My mums LG makes a kinda philco noise as its a Direct drive. Not my favourite machine but id have one to remind me of Nana. Nick.

my mum had one from 88. Yes i remember that spin thing well but never saw the motor at work. I was 8 when it died. She had the 1000rpm model with vari temp. Basic machine with only half load button. The other 2 were on off and door release. Shame the bearings went. Was i good washer. The first washer we had i remember loads about. Water level were a a little higher than your 79 Hottie Nick. But not much more.

My grandparents had a 1000rpm bendix with 6 buttons and 2 dials. I forget the model. I spent many a day, month and year infront of that machine. When i was tiny it would keep me quiet while my gran rest her soul, used to wash up or start dinner. As i got older it became an after school thing, weekends & holidays treat to look forward too & there was always a load waitin 4 me...:D My grandad took it with him to newcastle n when he moved back up after my grandma died, and that was the last i saw of it :( lol. Can anyone remember the water levels on rinses? I think they were high but im old now n forgetful lol. Darren |

Richard, so sorry you can't get that machine. Like NickUK I'm tempted myself but I think it's a bit far from where I live. NickUK I found this on Ebay although, I think it's a bit later than the machine you are talking about. Regards Rob CLICK HERE TO GO TO robm's LINK on eBay |

Hi Guys, Are these the machines you mean?? The Bendix was one of the most popular washer dryers because of the induction motor and it was sooooo quiet... I just pulled out the "Record" by Valerie Singleton of Blue Peter fame with the baby on the front, will record it later... Nick, was this the Candy machine you meant??, never knew that about the clutch/speed/thingy.. I remember (I know, ancient!!),their new campaign in the 70`s, "Candy Formula Stainless & Innox", the one with the Pear Shaped Drum, apparently was the for-runner to the Zanussi style Wash Sump, CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK |

that would explain why mum used to run a seperate rinse and spin cycle after for softener. The drawer had 4 compartments in hers. Pre main softener and bleach. The bleach and softner cover was brown plastic. Well i was explainin to Jon, if i get in uni for next year i wont need my own washer for 4 years. I cant afford the storage as i intend on workin as little as possible. I get a hefty bursary so i want to chanel everything into study. Good career or good washer collection? Tryin to weigh up lol.
