Definitely a Blythe Bridge built machine. They never seemed as common as Hotpoint or Hoover, but I did use an Electra badged one in a holiday cottage once. Not sure about the date, but it's probably mid to late 80s. Tom |

One of the last proper Creda machines before they started to re-badge Hotpoints. The main thing I remember was it was a pain to change the drum bearings as the front does not come off. |

Excellent!! And if memory serves,the wash cycle and spins should be almost identical to my Nan's 83 electra 11500,the rinse water level may not be as high! But just the sight of that drum fills me with nostalgia :) Neil |

Hey Craig, just noticed this beauty! I haven't been on here for a while...but really nice to see the Creda Super Speed coming out the wood works. As we've discussed before, these are one my favourite series of machines. What's the update? Did you manage to find the door, etc?
Hass. PS: If I am correct is was these series of machines that spun anti clock wise...right? :) |

Hi Craig, Do you still have this machine? If you are interested I have found an alternative supply of the parts you need. Tom |

The bearings are still available for your Creda Robert.
Without a doubt the best looking inner drum from Creda.
