Electrons
Hello
Welcome to the Electron 1100 club ;-), I am glad you have gotten hold of one these great machines and an exclusive model aswell! Having suffered using my Aqualtis for the past 5 months i went back to my garage today (thanks mat) and used an A3110 (electronic 1100) and an A3062 (keymatic 1100) and was not only pleased at how little time they took to wash everything beautifully, the clothes were a lot less creased than clothes are from the aqualtis, i put this down to the fact the Hoovers do not spin the clothes straight after the wash, it rinses them first so they are cool, where as modern machines I have found always spin the clothes when they are warm from the wash. Plus I just think the Hoovers are a superior machine alround. So I hope you enjoy your Electron 1100 when you get it going, if you need any help dont hesitate to ask. Gary

Electron
Bad news Gary.
I'm afraid i'm not in the Electron 1100 club. It was in a far worse state than i thought. When i took the rear tub plate off to change the gasket the vitreous enamel has totally rusted away around the edges of the tub making the enamel ultra thin plus there's a rusted hole under the heating element it must have been slowly leaking for years. Never mind i had fun exploring such a wonderful machine, but this time it wasn't to be. | ||

Well Gary.
I would have loved to have kept it. Maybe i was getting to excited, always the way with me. The hole was in exactly the same place as yours in the pic around the raised section where the element rests on. That would have been a easy repair but all around the edges was far worse than the one in your pic, the rust had just eaten away at it over time weakening & making the area around the bolt holes wafer thin. I just did not know how i could possibly put the rear tub plate back on & make it water tight. It took me bloody hours & a lot of swearing to get all those nuts & bolts out, but i'm sure another one will turn up in time. Thanks for all the pictures i just adore them.

You will have to introduce me to 'Liquid Metal' when we see you next, Gary! One or two machines oop ere require some help, in the old outer tub repair department. Great pics - you garage lends an air of machines lined up in Norweb to me. Ahhhh - nostalgia. Paul | ||

Plastic padding chemical metal, wow what good stuff, wow what good dreams you can have in an unventilated room, peace brother I’m high as a kite, good substitute for fags.
I have to admit I’m starting to like Hoover products and like the computer logic machines, I seem to have gone constellation mad, what’s happening to me, it’s that bloody chemical metal stuff. | ||

Electra 17004
Mike.
What I would give to have that Electra 17004. I remember that machine our neighbours had one when we were kids. Have you done a video of it in action yet, would love to see & hear it once again in action plus the spin cycles were so powerful. I think the spin bursts in the rinse sections were all done at the top spin speed. Can you please let me know if I am correct because it was such a long time ago. Thank's for all the wonderful pics.

The Collection Day
Well Dex
We were all touched that day, machines were collected on route to me, and few were collected from me, it was a very busy but fun day, the van full of Hoover machines and the Creda We can all dream about a brand new Hoover electron but it will stay a dream I think. I havent taken any Videos of the Computer control machines, I have such a back log of machines to repair and at some time film I do not know when i will get round to it.

Solvent Abuse
Well Lee having had my head in tub whilst treating it i know only too well effects of these chemicals, oh and dont forget if you want to go right over the edge the Hammerite paint will get you there.........who says drugs dont work!
On another high, the Constellation.........such a loveley machine to use and behold, i can understand your enthusiasm for them........good lad keep sniffing the solvents they help the day go by :-) The computer logics are a fantastic machine but if i am honest i prefer the 1100 computer control machine, there is alot of behind the scenes design in them that is not obvious this i appreciate right thats me pieces sed we will hear no more about it ;-)

Good to see a Hoover 1100 thread again!
I have been quiet on the forums recently... been concentrating on getting my driving lessons etc done. PLease to say I have now passed and own an Astra H 2005. Plenty of room to put the washer in the boot and attend a meet some time! Would stil like my trusty A3110 to be given the once over health check. No problems to report however. Hope you are all well :) Richard. | ||

Hoover 1100
Craig, be sure to save the fascia and timer and powder drawer / buttons etc what you can, At least machines can be made up of decent body shells in the future if you do. Not many of this particular model in that colour scheme exist if any amongst collectors!
It must be Hoover week. Only this morning have me and Paul bought a 1970's Hoover machine (Automatic) that no other collector has - we think! Its going thru the spa as its a right minger - would a Hoover be any other way????? LOL but should polish up nicely! Silence from us two until its done. It deserves its own thread hehe. Rob | ||
