Paul? The countess was not arround in 1955 anyway was it? What do you mean by "Traditional Power"? Not heard that before.
Speaking about wringer washers, what about this beauty that is up in your (generally) neck of the woods? Lots more pics in the listing Al CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay |

Hi Al, Hope you are well..belated new year wishes !!
The Hotpoint Countess was launched in 1955 along with the Princess, but this machine does not date from then, i would say nearer 1975. The first machines that came about had red fitments only, either on a white or cream cabinet. I think what Paul was referring to by "Traditional Power" was how Hotpoint listed the two "Wringer" machines in their early to late 1970's brochure. (from the brochure i can remember @ home) Cheers Keith |
