A couple of weeks ago Simon posted some UK ebay links, one of which was this Fishglow dryer. No bids on it so, as I was in teh area last Saturday (collecting a vintage vacuum cleaner) I thought I would contact the seller, and indeed it would have been in the dump by now if I hadn't. I am not sure pof its exact age, but would reckon on mid 1960s - the seller told me it still worked, and it did

Calling UK members
Those who have been at my home know that I dont really have the room to collect laundry appliances - its bad enough with 123 vacuum cleaners and 40 odd mixers - so, although I will hold onto it for the mean time I will be more than happy to pass it on to another collector - it does work and it is built like a tank. I will scan the instruction card later but the Fisholow logo on it looks rather like the Parnall logo, so maybe there was some tie up there Al | ||

Stupid mother-flocker. It appears to me that this machine blows in hot air rather than suck it out. (BEHAVE!) Would that lead to flocking the room with lint? | ||

Fisholow
Hello Alistair firstly well done on picking this up and saving it Well Chestmike is the man who can shed light on this model. But I have just dropped of the Bendix version of this machine in Cardiff for Mike to collect for a freind of his, I think this name was used on models sold by one of the electricity board shops And yes the one I dropped off is driven by a small rubber tyre on the drum Gary

Confirmations
Gary Thanks for confirming that at least some of my brain cells are still intact - some of these memories are from so long ago that I get concerned that I get these things wrong. Interestingly mine has similar heat marks on the inlets at the back of the drum, although its probably in a bit better cosmetic condition, although yellowed with age, and it needs a good clean. Now all I need is someone to take it off my hands, although I certainly wont dump it. Toggles (I hope you will pardon the familarity, but I like the name) I will check out the details when I get home from work Al | ||

The lady wot sold it
was an absolute delight, very friendly and helpful indeed. It was left in a house that they had moved into just three weeks previously which was built in 1970 and still had lots of its origional features intact - I would have LOVED it. Actually I would love to have the money to afforded it! It had the origional Hygena (pre MFI) kitchen, although they were going to rip that out when they knock the kicthen and the (huge) utility room together. And, although it would have been nice to have kept the units, I could see why they would change them - it will be a fantastic room when it is done. I suggested she put the units on ebay ..... | ||
