congratulations
Congratulations,looks to have been well cared for.Lots of action with spin drains and a 1000rpm spin speed.Strange beasts though,as they will only go into spin if full of water with pressure switch made.They were realy quite a bullet proof machine as they have a hefty induction motor with clutch and a plastic tub, so no rust problems.Great score,Regards Nige.

It's such a shame philips like many aren't around in the modern day as they'd be kickin out some cracking stuff I think!
The spin-drain is awesome! Shame you won't get the visual of it being a TL but at least you will get the experience. I'm sure it aided rinsing too! Rich: Thaaanks. Bit of a drastic change but I do like it :-) The WFF2000 is sat next to my Zanussi in my ex's garage atm whilst my LG is sat in her kitchen. Hmpf. I'm going to try and get those shortly i'm moving house with my folks this week. Hope ur well. Darren | ||

Until two months ago, when I was discussing the Slimstar with Richard, I always thought this was the door release button...

in fact this is probably the more realistic view i had of the machine, though i did see the facia on the occasions that it had just been used - nvere saw it in action though...

Date code 647! 47th week of 1976. Hadnt realised that these were made in Britain - I always assumed it would have been built on the continent...

Will post some pics of the facia later on. If anyone has some other photos of the different versions of Slimstar, or any other Philips machines, please feel free to post some. How is your AWB119 doing Louis? Paul | ||

Paul,
That is an awesome machine!! I remember these from the ad in the women's magazines my mother read. I was fascinated by the 1000rpm spin. The later models with the variable spin speed like my AWB119 didn't spin faster than 850rpm. But then again those were made in France IIRC. Years ago I saw a similar model overhere at the curb. It was in a bad state, but nevertheless I went home to get my camera and took some pictures. Here's the thread with them, they are at the bottom of the thread. There are more Philips pictures in this thread, including an ad of the machine you found and a picture you posted there yourself. CLICK HERE TO GO TO foraloysius's LINK | ||
