Hi everybody,
I hope you're well.
If you're interested, there is a new French washing machine on my site: BRANDT 422 from 1968.

I'm very interested! That is a great looking machine! Was this a Deluxe model or TOL (Top Of the Line)?

I love the window, the row of pushbuttons, the light over them and also the rapid advance timer!

May I ask what the two chauffage buttons are for? And the other button above the temperature selector, is that for the lid?

Great pictures and great videos, thanks for sharing them with us.

Louis

Hi Louis,
Happy to hear from you again.
Indeed, there are no "chauffage buttons", but one light which looks like 2 button (a question of design!).
You're right: the push button above the temperature selector is to open the lid (look at the video "sélection du programme et départ".
It's a TOL: even the model 6 kg (522 is for 5 kg) is less sophisticated!
See you

Thanks for explaining. I'm still in awe over this machine!

Does the chauffage light come on when the heater is on?

I found a fourth video on Youtube, there are only three of them linked on your website. It's the video of the start of the wash. That makes a few things clear. Wonderful how it immediately starts to tumble after the start.

Again, I love this machine. Was it expensive? BTW, what is the spin speed on this one?

Thanks Bert,

Louis

Hello Bert, wonderful machine you have there, the colours of the bezel are amazing all that blue and chrome is a winner in my book!!!

I love the machines that you can fiddle & set about with and then watch it wash "Automatically"

Did they ever make tumble dryers to pair with it???

the fourth video is on my website too (I've made it!), but before the Lincoln washing machine.

The "chauffage" light is on during all period heating (prewash and wash).

the speed spin is 550 rpm.

At least, and unfortunately, there was no dryer.
See you

Thank you Bert for clearing that up, I had missed that link in the videos section of your website.

For those who missed it too here's the direct link to it.
