Welcome to the site!
Hi there,
welcome to the site, I hope you have a wonderful time here and always feel free to ask whatever you want. Now, I don't know much on Electrons, a user named 'matchboxpaul' will be able to provide a lot of useful information on them, but for basics, most Electrons were released from I think 1979 to about mid 80s?? The most common models are the 'Electron 1100 De Luxe', Electron 800 and their exclusive derivatives (Electron 800/1100 Dual Spin). Here is a picture of a Hoover A3350 'Electron 1100 De Luxe' Electricity Board Shop model (1985/86).(Apologies to the user for using your picture). Have fun, Brandon :)

Hoover A3190
Hello and welcome
I have a the first Electron which was the A3190, Mathew from Cardiff has an A3060 which was the first Hoover 1100 spin machine. I have used mine as a daily driver for a bit over 2.5 years now and love it, they require basic maintenance from time to time, most parts for the motor, suspension and tub you can still get. They are easy to work on if you have some experience, there are people on here who can help you out with advice etc. this is a picture of my Electron 1100 and the matching tumble dryer in my living room before I installed them Gary

Hey!
Hey Luke! Welcome to the site, nice to see another young person (My age!) here!
I've got 11 washers, 5 dryers and a collection of vacuum cleaners. Mainly to the title of the thread, one of those washers is a Hoover Logic A3790 (1300 spin). As for dating Hoover machines, I think that the first digit after the model number is the year (You need to know the decade), and the 2 after that are the month, I think thats how it works but I'm not an expert on Hoover machines! I'll grab some pics of my Logic later on :) Chris | ||

Rust
Yup, its a shame, the previous person who owned it thought they could do some touching up here and there with some cream paint....sadly it didn't turn out as they wanted it to! I'm going to try and strip it down and either respray the cabinet myself once sanded down etc or just strip it down and send the cabinet off to a proffessional resprayer, depending on costs etc.

a3060 Thanks Mathew. These really are good washing machines hope it keeps going. How long was my version sold for? Also do you know where to get spare parts (I mean ones that are from the same time period as the machine they are for?) | ||

Hi Luke
A lovely machine to have. I have 2 Hoover front loaders - an A3060 which needs a new bearing and seal and an A3668 which needs an anti-twist kit fitting. Years ago I did have an A3260 which I gave to a friend of mine. The door release broke so someone tied some string on it so you could open the door. The picture showing it before the kitchen was redone was when you had to put the drain pipe in the sink. They had an American lodger for a while who wasn't used to such primitive ways and she forgot to do that and flooded the whole kitchen! The machine died not long after that and was replaced by an LG intellowash. Look forward to hearing more about your machine when you get it S :) S :) | ||

parts Hi sesteve, are replacement parts recently made or are they from about the same age as the machine was being sold? | ||

Paint
Well I can only presume so, I doubt that with the amount of paint they used on it to presumably cover up the rust, that they would have thought it wasnt worth selling in a poor cosmetic condition. Either way, it works and holds a lot of sentimental memories, and thats really all that matters :)

I'm sure the majority of Hoover machines of that style were standard height (85cm), slightly narrower than standard (58.5cm) and moderately deep (56cm). | ||
