Another addition to the collection is this 1982 Zanussi Z919T Washcraft 1000rpm In amazing condition although a couple of easily ironable faults. Bearings have started to go so this will be Zanussi bearing change no.2. So glad we know what to do what with the Liberators bearings being done a few months ago. Also the screw that fastens to dial to the timer is rather loose - so much so that the "Pull On Push Off" mechanism wont work properly. Does anyone have any idea how to remove the dial from the fascia allowing me to tighten the screw inside to fix the timer properly? Pics to follow

Zanussi - The Appliance of Science
Nice find guys, great machines, very quiet with those big induction motors, those programme controls where one of the most difficult to use I thought, very stiff and so small to grip...but being small caused another set of problems, because you could grip it by wrapping your hand around it, many people used to much force and broke the ratchets!! Will look stunning with the matching dryer on top, good luck with the hunt!! | ||

The FL800
Hey Guys If it has actually been in Gravesend it would have had a new home by now :(. Paul- it must indeed be a crossover- possibly one of the 1st series of FL machines?- it would be interesting to know if it uses a carbon brush motor as opposed to the induction Washcraft type. Congrats on the Z919T by the way- can I just ask why you had a vent hose in the drum lol ;). Our local rip off British Heart foundation actually had a brown/black trim Washcraft dryer in at the mo- im not gonna pay £85 for it though!!!!! Seamus | ||

Nice condition -comestically. Zanussi styling in the late 70's early 80's are among my favs. Well-anything with a chrome door from that era. Great water level with your Zanussi. Look forward to you uploading this machine on YT. Regards. Louis. | ||

Nice machine I'm sure it's the same as the ones that were in all the houses on "Brookside" back in the day. Jon | ||

Zanussi`s
The Zanussi Washcraft series where never blue trimmed, that was the plastic covering to protect a beautiful chrome trim underneath!!!...LOL Those where the days when manufacturing meant something and even the worktops where protected!!! The Brookside set was furnished with electrical goods by the main Zanussi wholesale distributor of the day, who we still use now!! remember the FM6 ovens & such!!! very well made appliances.....Every time I watched Brookie I always wanted to scream "Take the Tape Off, PLEASE"... | ||

Zanussi's
Yes Mike that transparent blue protective film was used on a lot of gear, i remember it being used on some old hi-fi aswell.......i can understand you wanting to scream, occasionally i come across an advert for a turntable on ebay and the lister has put the turntable rubber mat the wrong way up and that makes me want to scream "TURN IT OVER" yah drongo........the japanese used to go to great lengths to make there turntable mats look stylish turn them over and they are just plain on the underneath Thinking back it was a good marketing move on Zanussi's part to supply their equipment, I even remember a foul mouthed drag entertainer a "Ms Savage" used to joke about shop lifting, and escaping from the store detectives with a Zanussi stuffed up her jumper........very funny...............but it got Zanussi to be a household name Rob Well if the 17th is on would be possible to collect summit for me, its not large praps better we talk by email :-) NO ITS NOT A WASHING MACHINE or anything like that size :-) | ||

That blue film has come back in fashion with all this stainless steel colour in fashion at the moment, integrated dishwashers in particular. | ||

Zanussi was not the only brand name plugged either, Always amused me at the "chavvy" culture in the last days of Brookside and the blatant advertising of modern diets. 10 seconds in...... CLICK HERE TO GO TO aquarius1984's LINK | ||
