Checkrate/Likes It is the first attempt of the Imput series that came out in late 90ies. Five buttons allow the choice of fabric-colour-load size-detergent type-soil level

Checkrate/Likes *again from 1984 Rex brochure* The R899TX (right) was the TOL zanussi sold on italian market. It has a 1000 rpm spin (at those times TOL mieles W772/784 were 1200 rpm), half load, 500 rpm setting, extended wash time for low temps and - unique feature ever seen on Zannies - interval spin The R875X was the average machine of those times, with an outer door to fit better under counter and "hide" in the kitchen

Checkrate/Likes *hai ragione - you're right ....* ...the R 899 was much better than that christmas-tree-lighted R2001IS : 47 litre drum vs 42, so it was a REAL 5kg machine, not a 4.5 kg as the others. In those times our Candy SA5 was about to die (it was 20yo...) so we were on the hunt 4 a new washer.

Checkrate/Likes *R899* Hi Tom,I guess so. Such machine seems to be oriented towards northern EU markets rather than southern ones. I bet it has been rebadged for local markets ... those games began much earlier than Electrolux bigbrotherhood Carlo

Checkrate/Likes Thanks for posting the brochure images Carlo. Ever since I first saw a piccy (a poor one at that) of the dark facia of the Zanussi Input System, I have always wondered what it really looked like. The first piccy of the Rex input system has helped a great deal - it looks superb! I wonder if therer are any about today? Here's hoping. I was always very fond of the Zanussi Washcraft range and have my eyes peeled for one at the moment. Hi Tom. Like you I wonder whether we did ever recieve the four button machine. The highest i ever remember seeing was the three button Z939T and Z949T - but never a four button jobby. A little Zanussi mystery there then! Cheers Paul

Checkrate/Likes *ZannAEGs* Still we are in the Big Brother Year but chez AEG. If the fascias were covered you'd say " they're Zannies !!"

Checkrate/Likes *BrandtAEGs ??* Those were the first Favorits with adjustable upper rack Middle arm feed come from a jet in the centre of the lower arm. They were loudy as Candy Stipomatics (probably the loudest DW ever made) Design is neither the usual AEG nor Zannish ..maybe Brandt made as some top loaders (lavamat 84/87) ?????? Anyway it was suddenly discontinued

Checkrate/Likes The pre-Electrolux years of Zanussi still hold a great deal of mystery for me. I keep seeing machines that I never knew existed. Electrolux have disowned some of the older machines, with technical information being very hard to find. Ever tried to find a technical manual for the C7000/C8000 series of machines from the 70s/80s? Electrolux would say there's no such thing, yet I'm sure they did make one. My Zanussi Z9191T has the most complex timer I've ever seen, so many wires! Then again, there are no electronics either, so the wires must compensate. I can't get the half load function to work and I don't know where to begin! Tom

Checkrate/Likes *Early Zanussi/Privileg Washer Dryer* There was a Zanussi version of this machine available in the UK, I've never seen one though. I believe it's quite rare.

Checkrate/Likes *Privileg machine sold in Germany* A nice example of a C7000/C8000 series machine produced by Zanussi. Love the drum with the double circle at the back!

Checkrate/Likes *Privilege = Zoppas!* Hi Tom, Privilege is a brand of machine here which are branded Zoppas! Her you are one of my last restoration, it's a Zoppas P404... lovely the low wash rythm... unfortunately I didn't any video of the machine beofer have hooked it down

Checkrate/Likes *Zoppas 1985 TOL : P448X - P498TX* Tom, I've never seen that dropdown Privileg !! At those times italian producers sold in internal market mostly BOL and MOL, cause people bought italian washers for price. TOL machines came mostly from Germany, even if I remember some squared door (real)Hoover in a shop close home -never seen elsewhere

Checkrate/Likes *Back to Zoppas 1985 : TOL DW P 105 L* Looks like a certain CASTOR C75 someone knows well .. ;-) Those DW really were nice potscrubbers. It is due to their "long" washing time 106 mins vs 60 mins of my old miele G507 @ cold fill

Checkrate/Likes *certain CASTOR C75 someone knows well .. ;-)* OH YEAH! Here it you are in a before-after restoration picture. Concerning the 800 super spin (nowadays would be not the worst but of course is a goal reached and outranged, speaking of 1400-1600-1800rpm!!), it was a really good performance without any electronic control but only based on the better quality of the machine's components and thanks to the higher complexive weight of the shaking-group consisting in outertub and ballastes. Really... "Zoppas li fa e nessuno li distrugge" (=Zoppas made them and nobody crashes them) BYE! Diomede PS: Carlo ci pensi che i cataloghi REX di quell'epoca li ho buttati!?!??!?! GRRRR!!!

Checkrate/Likes *Lavamat Clara 604* Should I take the opportunity to pick up a machine identical to this and restor it!? Where I found the Indesit (with a Smeg DW too but really this is in worst condition!!), there's an AEG Lavamat just like that, brown control panel and double lid. What about friends, concerning that the machine would be sold away after the restoration!? Diomede

Checkrate/Likes *Zanussi WD2290* Diomede, I love the square door on the Zoppas P404, a very smart machine. They were never sold here in the UK like this. I have found the control panel details of the UK version of the dropdown Privileg. Here in the UK it was known as the Zanussi WD2290. The 'special features' control knob is something I have not seen before on a Zanussi. Tom

Checkrate/Likes *Thanks Tom !! WD 2290* at those times Zanussi italian brands (Castor - Rex - Zoppas)didn't have any combo available here. There were only 2 vented dryers, one time ctrld , the other with moisture ctrl Only Sangiorgio had a WD line called Ghibli

Checkrate/Likes *What a great thread!* Really really thanks for the great brochure shots Carlo. The round door AEG's look unusual - I am so used to the left hand drive versions in that colour scheme, that a right hand drive machine looks a bit weird. Does anyone know whether they were ever sold in the UK - the right hand drive machines that is? Diomede.. Go get it, go get it! I would love to own one of these classic AEG's. A friend at school had one, set beautifully in a dark wood kitchen, with matching panel door. Always took notice when the door was dropped down, due to the unusual construction of these machines. Your magic touch would, I am sure, produce a stunning machine. I am sure you would quickly begin to appreciate it in your collection. Tom. My GOD! when was that WD2290 on ebay? that was in the UK! did it sell? Ohhh the pain of it - what a splendid looking machine. My knowledge of 1970's UK sold Zanussi's is virtually non-existant - was this machine from the first series sold in the UK? What was the first Zanussi model sold in the UK? I take it, it wasnt the SL118/SL128 series? Questions, questions, questions - cant type fast enough! That WD2290 is straight into my Zanussi folder and I have just been over to serviceforce and downloaded the full manual - some bedtime reading. Cheers Paul

Checkrate/Likes *WD2290* Hi Paul, The picture is actually of the German 'Privileg' version of the WD2290. This was on German ebay a couple of months ago. Apart from the different brand name, the UK Zanussi version was identical. The WD2290 was introduced in around 1980, just before the first Washcraft series of Zanussis such as the Z919, Z929 etc. This was the first Zanussi produced washer dryer sold in the UK. The first Zanussi washing machines sold in the UK (that I know of) were the DL22, DL4 and DL6 models introduced sometime in the 70s. The manuals for these can be found on Serviceforce. These DL series were followed by the SL24, SL26T and SL27T. After this came the SL118, SL128 and SL227T which were produced until about 1981. Hope that's of some help! Tom

Checkrate/Likes I do love that drum! Such a great thread! My Auntie had a WDi9091. The 1000rpm washer dryer from the 80s. She got the machine in 1987 but i think it was old stock. I remember it being really quiet and the 500rpm spin was louder than the 1000rpm. Would love to see one in action again. Sadly all the machines seem to be down south :-( David

Checkrate/Likes *Candy - early 70ies drums ?!?* Found another old thread about Candy (the real Hoover killer) We had a SA5, probably the strongest machine they did Then we had a C134. Such POS machine had No BAFFLES at all. When half loaded (i e curtains or minimum iron) the load did't tumble but literally floated. The upper part of the load came out still dry... Why did they remove baffles from drums?? Whent this nightmare broke (bearings...) we bought the 16WD combo. This has gone back with baffles. Yet stuff boilwashed in it, if rewashed in the miele 60�C ecoboilwash came out much cleaner Today in their manuals Candy warn people not to wash full loads made of towels .... Mieles have not only towel programs, but pillows program too ... is it a bearings affair ?!? ;-) CLICK HERE TO GO TO favorit's LINK

Checkrate/Likes *Three twins* Notice as the Z 999 TX has a 3KW heater vs the usual 2KW one on her twins REX 899 TX and Zoppas P 498 TX. This happened as Rex, Castor(r.i.p) and Zoppas are specific brands for our internal market. Here houses have usually a 3 KW feed. So a 2,2KW WM or DW allows other small appliances running without exceeding the max load Another small difference: Rex and Zoppas have bleach dispenser, Z 999 has not.....at those times the tipical italian housewife was still bleach-addicted ;-)) Zanussi badged appliances are not very common in Italy. They were (are ?) sold in Expert stores only.

Checkrate/Likes *wood ranges ?!?* Same brochure of the R 2001 IS, on the page next to microwave ovens, there are wood ranges. Nowadays wood ranges are still common in north eastern Italy. Ultimate ones are fully integrated in the kitchen just as the likes of a fridge or a dishwasher
