It's a 3203! But the seller has decided not to sell it for now. However, they say it may go back up for sale in a couple of months - I'll let everyone here know if they do! | ||

Translation, please! "Matchbox"? Does that mean the square machine, or does that mean the slanted front one? Thank you. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Matchbox....Hoover..Who Better!!!!
Just had the same email Simon, I wonder how many offers he had?? ...LOl Laurence, good question, the first Hoover Keymatics where the sloping fronts, the next series where normal flat front but 27inches wide, Big Berthas indeed and still only washed the same 9lb load as the small Bendixxiii...the 1970`s saw a revamp and the PR was "Matchbox Size" compact & bijou etc... Heres a pic, this is the one we are still crying about having been skipped a few weeks ago....

p.s Mike have you a similar advert for the 3236H and 3235 (especially the latter model)? Attached is a recent advert purchase of mine for the widebody 3223H keymatic - as soon as I acquire a scanner I'll pop a nicer copy on here. cheers Paul

Thank you all! Thank you for posting those ad scans, Mike and Paul. Were the later Keymatics as complex mechanically as the earlier ones? Right now, the Keymatic series is my favourite British washer range. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Hoover Keymatics
Hi Laurence, the first sloping front Keymatics where a nightmare to work on with all those hoses, bearings and wires etc..the later models, 3203, 3223, the 27inch wide bodied machines had a very ingenious deep top which hinged up and all the timer & wiring gubbins was in there, great for the repairman to work on...as they improved with the third series, matchbox & current, they did get a lot more reliable, although Which Consumer Reports always gave them less points than a conventional timer machine....heres the inside of the A3008 which had a vitreous enamel drum, parts readily available and simple to work on...
