Hello, I have placed a deposit on a apartment and I am looking for a reconditioned washing machine. I have a admiration for vintage washing machine and wondered if anyone in the North-West of England sells reconditioned/restored vintage washing machines.
I don't move in till early May by the way so there is plenty of time for my search.


Regards


Paul

1979 Hotpoint 18580

 Hi there,

I don't think I'll ever sell any of my collection and if I did it would be no use to you as I live in Ireland. However, there was a person from Manchester selling a very nice 1979 Hotpoint 18580 in Manchester so this could be the machine for you. But as they hold no more than 4.5 kg you will not be able to put as much in as you would with a modern machine. 4.5 is still a good load size though. 18580 also features variable 1000 rpm spin and is from the 4th generation of Hotpoint front loading laundry... A TRUE CLASSIC!

See link below! £80!

How do James and Paul.

Re the 18580 - I can safely say that its no longer for sale, though its not owned by me, I hasten to add.
It is a very nice machine though.


Keep checking the pages of ebay - there are regularly Hotpoint 95's, though generally the later 'Next Generation' ones from the start of the 90s, as opposed to the New Generation ones which started in 1982 and the earlier series of Next, which started production in 1986.
Hotpoint WM's from the mid to late 90s are sound bits of kit too.

Hoover wise - they tend to be a bit harder to come by. There are regularly Soft Waves from the mid 90s, with the same era New Waves seeming to come all at once and then vanishing for months.
Ecologic's are rarer, but do still surface from time to time (particularly the round door budget machines), with the earlier Logics being rarer still and as for the Electrons - I havent seen one on ebay in ages.

Generally a good stock of late 80s through to early 2000's Zanussi's.

For other manufacturers its a bit hit and miss.

Also check Gumtree as that can harbour some older stuff too.

All depends what you find and whether it appeals.
Happy hunting.
Paul

Damn! I would've gone for that one.

I will keep looking, I have a month left and I just don't want to have to buy a modern one...

Thanks guys

By the way, if you do happen to see any available please don't hesitate to send me a email on my profile.

Thanks.
