I love French toploaders with glass lids.

Good choice Louis, does this machine do a Phillips type Spin Drain or is there a problem not pumping out fast enough???

Love how the lines of sudz line up on the clear lid after being spun through the holes!!!

I'm not sure Mike, but it looks like it pumps the water out first. The spin speed is already at it's max. I think. This is 1963 and it looks like the washer has no suspension, just like the older Philips toploaders with the glass lid.

Hi everybody,
This machine, one of mine, is a BRANDT (French brand), with no suspension.
You're right: it pumps out first, then spins but at a low speed (300 rpm).
Enjoye.
see you.
Bert

Thank you Bert for the video, it's great. And there are many more videos I enjoyed.

BTW, I have been trying to get in touch with you. I noticed a Philips frontloader in your collection. Could you tell a bit more about it?

Regards,

Louis

Holy cow look at that baby go on spin! Hehe. Fantastic looking machine!

In Europe this is a regular toploader. Americans usually call this an H-axis toploader.

Toploader Controls

Louis,

Thanks for posting this video. What is the difference between the two dials that are being set on the machine? The labeling on the dials is hard to read on the screen.

The dial on the right is the timer, the one on the left is the thermostat. The washer fills with cold and the built in heater heats the water till the desired temperature is achieved. I guess he set this on 40*C/105*F.

Hello Foraloysius,
I would love to discuss. Here is my mail:either lamachinealaver@aliceadsl.fr or "contact" on my site .
About the Philips frontloader, it is the first model of automatic frontal washing machine at Philips but I do not know yet if it works. I also the model that followed, always with this particular drum but with a front right (I hope you understand my English!). I soon show pictures and video. If you come to France, come and see me. I am in Burgundy near DIJON.

See you.
Bert

There is a Philips toploader indeed, but in some pictures you can see a Philips frontloader too. Could be a 606.

Hi,
No, it's a simpler machine (see thread14088 post 241586). I have a RAIDOLA PENTAMATIC too (exactly the same than philips 303).
Pics both of them this summer.
Bye and see you.
Bert

Looking forward to those pictures, the mother of a schoolfriend had that machine.

See you!
