Now, I cannot swear to it but this looks a lot older than a current model to me, more like mid 1990s, if not even older. They claim it has not been used

Bejam Microwave

vacbear58's profile picture
Well here is a name from the past - Bejam was a pioneer chain of shops to promote the sale of freezers - so they sold almost entirely frozen food out of chest freezers. They sold freezers and a small selection of other appliances too. As far as I remember the Bejam name disappeared around 1988 or so, not sure if they became what we know as Iceland today

Ah, it's dishwasher month!

Yes, the AEG is from the mid nineties. I bought my first AEG in 1994, a 578, due to problems it was replaced by AEG in 1995 with the model 6060 (for a little extra I got a higher end model), from the new line with four digits. I think this line was replaced already again in 1997 or 1998 IIRC.

The Whirlpool is from not too long after the full take over of Philips by Whirlpool. It doesn't have the typical Philips upper rack. So my wild guess is that the Whirlpool dishwasher is from the early nineties.

It's a European Whirlpool, before Whirlpool took over these appliances were sold under the Philips label. The Philips appliances were great appliances, the later European Whirlpool not so IMHO.

Louis,

I was going to guess that, but was not sure. It's difficult to keep up these days with so much extreme global sourcing of things.
Was it 1990, 91, or 92 when Whirlpool absorbed Philips white goods?

Philips

vacbear58's profile picture
It was more like towards the end of the 1980s, here at least. At first they became Philips Whirlpool branded, and later Whirlpool. My first washing machine, dryer and dishwasher, bought in 1979/80 where all Philips - washer and dryer (front loading of course LOL) were manufactured in the UK, the dishwasher in Germany I think. Philips also manufactured washing machines in France. I am very pleased to have examples of both the washer and dryer in my collection although they are not the originals I bought.

I will say though I did buy a Whirlpool oven in 2003 and it was actually quite good.

Al

Philips/Bauknecht

foraloysius's profile picture
Whirlpool bought 53% of the Philips stock in 1988. The rest was bought up in 1991. Philips Whirlpool products were built in that period. Whirlpool products after that.

Philips and Bauknecht dishwashers were built in Neunkirchen in Germany. Like more Bauknecht plants, they were closed by Whirlpool. The plant where the dishwashers were manufactured, was taken over by ZF, the transmission manufacturer including 240 workers.

Ah, Louis,

so Whirlpool closed a bunch of plants like AB Electrolux did here.
ZF is a large employer here as well, in both design and manufacturing for mainly Chrysler and Jeep transmissions.

The Caron Capri sort of resembles my moms old 30 inch Tappan Gallery from the early 70's. It has a glass electric warming shelf.

Carron Capri

Vacerator

The Carron was pretty much unique in the British market during its life (it was in production in one for or another for about 25 years) for during most of that time wider cookers with two side by side ovens were not popular. It cane in both gas and electric versions and there is a griddle under that black cover on the hob. It had salt and pepper shakers built into the top above the controls

Only 35Quid at this point.  I would love the units, the floor, and the wall covering.  

And look at what good condition they are in.  

 

If those were in the U.S., they'd probably have been altered or be in shabby condition.  

 

I can't do with the double taps, though, but an easy change.  I don't even like the typical double handled/single spout U.S.  faucets.

English Rose Kitchen

vacbear58's profile picture
When it was new this must have been an expensive kitchen, the double doors and angled handles indicate that it was English Rose. The oven is a 1980s replacement - Philips (by the look of it before it became Philips Whirlpool) as is the ceramic hob which is Tricity. The size of the oven housing indicates that it originally held a Moffat oven, and probably one of the earlier ones of Canadian manufacture. Looks like a cupboard was removed to accommodate a dishwasher

Here is a catalogue from the 1970s showing the later styles. Yes that IS a Westinghouse range you can see, for some reason ER frequently displayed their kitchens with Westinghouse appliances.

It would be something of an understatement to say that the seller is optimistic in their price expectations .....

Twosome

vacbear58's profile picture
Shows how the machine developed, now with heater (although also available without) and emptying pump. This new style came in in 1953 and was virtually unchanged throughout the life of the machine, this one is from around 1966 or so.

One of Hoover's most inspired bits of marketing, got a Hoover wringer washer? Upgrade to a twin tub with a spinarinse. Want a washing machine now but cannot afford it and don't want HP. Buy either your washer or spinner now and add the other part when you can- no need to wait for at least some help on wash day. Small kitchen? Easily splits onto two parts so you can store separately.

The spinarinse has been modified, the pull up exits pipe must have been disabled and a new hose fitted, possibly a new pump too. This set also has the bridging piece, which are quite hard to find

Philips coffeemaker:

This looks like the first Philips coffeemaker. It was introduced in 1967. The first model had a round light, no button and a cloth filter. Later models didn't have that filter anymore and soon a button was introduced, clients wanted that and other coffeemakers had one.

As a matter of fact, this model was probably manufactured in Groningen. In the 1960's Philips moved the production of Domestic Appliances (Philips DAP) to Groningen. In 1989 the production was moved to another town. The main office of the division remained here until 2001.

I have been a member of the Philips DAP consumer panel for a while in the early 90's. One of the appliances we advised on was a coffee maker. A much newer one ofcourse. Interesting to see how such things go.


AEG washer/dryer combo:

That machine was built by Lepper, IIRC we discussed that before. Lepper was the manufacturer of Matura. See this thread for pictures of a Matura:

re; coffe makers,

We had Norelco ones here in the 70's. quite large, black, and silver. All of the angles were curved from the top and back, and upper base.

It is in good order for something that is getting on for 55 years old, the moulded door interiors are often prone to cracking and breaking. But actually the Lec is not bad either considering that these were at the cheaper end of the market and would have been built as such.

1980s style

vacbear58's profile picture
1980s kitchens are not generally not something I care for much, and this is typical version of a more simple style although I do not believe this was a cheap kitchen by any means - it would have been quite common to have something like this with cherry red handles. The flooring looks more 1970s, but the cupboards and fittings look far more like mid 1980s

Although similar metal construction to the English Rose metal units of the post WW2 period, these do not have the ER classic retro feel to them, I doubt they will get £750 for it although the built in bin is a novel feature.

By the way, just harking back to the 1980s kitchen posted above, the wall paper featured in these pictures is typical 1980s.

The Hoover twin set further up the thread was owned by an elderly lady customer of mine and many years ago I used to maintain those units for her. As far as I know she stopped using them and sent her laundry out when she started having hone helps. I think that was probably about 5 - 6 years ago at a guess.
Just a bit of background info :-)

And I am inclined to agree with you Ian, or very possibly an Electra equivalent.

However I think I see a glimmer of red (control knob) and what looks like the number 30 at the "12 O'clock" position - I will be checking up on it as soon as I get home - but my guess is the matchbox :)

I must admit I have thought about it but funds are limited at moment. (The joy of extended family with 6 kids) I don't remember modifying the spinner,but it could be one of the other engineers that worked for me. I will try and find out.

About the Neff ovens. I can see what the dials on the newer one are for, at least I suppose. One for the lower oven, and two for the upper oven, one for the fan and one for the traditional heating method, right?

But the older one, your model so to speak. I can see that the middle dial is for the lower oven. Is the right one for the top fan oven? And what about the dial on the left?

Enquiring minds want to know! lol

Neff Ovens

vacbear58's profile picture
Louis

I believe you are correct about the later oven.

I had the previous model with retractable knobs - purchased in 1985 and used until 2000 (and 16 years after I still regret getting rid of it) and it had fan only in the main oven. The smaller oven/grill was top and bottom heat (together) only - in addition to the removable grill element there was an element which went right round the top of the oven and (I presume) one in the oven floor. To operate the grill you turned the centre knob all the way round as far as it would go to a sort of flame symbol, the left hand knob was to adjust the grill temperature and only worked with the centre knob in the correct position.

This model introduced top/bottom heat in the main cavity as an alternative to fan and each type had full thermostatic control. The with the lower oven/grill you turned the knob all the way round but could then turn it back to control the grill setting - this (rather rambling) explanation might make more sense if you have a look at the single oven of the TOL model in reply 19 - the controls functioned in the same way - here they just did not have the light up display - I always preferred this version of the two for being less gimmicky looking.

I think the LH knob in the older model is to choose top or bottom heat or grill in the smaller oven/grill. I will have to have a closer look at its function when I am home as I have only used this small oven once to warm some plates in the five years or so I have had it. Or buy this one (I have seriously thought about it for when mine gives up) for the instruction manual. I occasionally use the main oven (which is excellent) but mostly I use my separate Neff Combi Micro which I think is the same as yours only built in

I could be mistaken Pete, I always thought these were Tappen manufacture - I presume there are equivalent US/Canadian models.

Mind you, at the time we are talking here (turn of the 1970s/80s) the UK Moffat company would have had little to do with the Canadian Moffat - the cookers and ovens/hobs had been manufactured in the UK for about 10 years by that stage, although previously they were Canadian manufacture

Every larger older

Tappan manufactured microwave had a pull up door handle latch.
Every Litton manufactured on had either a button on the top of the cabinet for the largest, or on the smaller models, a large pivoting push lever on the lower edge of the control console.
When Litton began making them for Sears, there was no latch buttons. The safety switches were all in the door pull to open design, as in most today, except Panasonic, and some smaller ovens.

Poggenpohl kitchen

foraloysius's profile picture
That's a very nice Poggenpohl kitchen, I like the high upper cabinets/cupboards. The Bosch oven is indeed from the early nineties (or perhaps very late eighties). I bet it replaced a Neff oven! The Sharp microwave is from that era too. It looks like they might have done some remodeling to make place for the microwave. I wonder about the hobs though. They look like they are from two different brands or perhaps series, but I don't recognise them. Do you know what they are Alistair?

Another green kitchen

This time with some vintage appliances too. May possibly be later English Rose, not sure, but it must have been expensive in its day. The original oven was almost certainly Tricity by the size of the oven cavity. The Sholtes hob (French) was very popular as a split level in the 1970s

Another optimistic seller although it is somewhat offset by the inclusion of oven and hob and hood. Unusually they are all from different suppliers. The kitchen itself is no great shakes, and not of exceptional quality. I would say mid to late 1970s

Belling Hob

vacbear58's profile picture
This is the companion hob to the oven from the mid 1970s - its gimmick was that the lid dropped flush to the work top with the hob dropping down as the lid closed. Of course the lid made a splash back, its no great shakes otherwise as it does not even have a dual ring never mind simmerstat - its expensive for its condition now.

If that kitchen had been in blue I would have found it hard to resist :)

I think you may be right about the Neff oven, around this time they produced a double oven with two full size ovens, the controls where located between the two ovens rather than at the top - that would explain the very large aperture which looks bigger even than that for a Tricity oven (which is 1200mm). Sharp eyes too on the domino hob units - the large griddle plate has a white knob which is much earlier than the others which look like (later) Neff. The hood could also be original to the kitchen as Neff used this style from at least the mid 1970s when I presume this kitchen dates from. Did you notice there is a Moulinex can opener there too?

I think that is a built in trash can - a means I suppose of making better use of a corner although personally I think it would have been difficult to keep clean with all the crumbs, flour etc you would expect on a counter top. Awkward to lift out when full as well I think

Oh, Poggenphol kitchens have been featured for years in Architectural Digest magazine for at least two decades.
I like the original kitchens that were fitted in the Barbican Estate's Cromwell, Lauderdale, and Shakespear towers in London also.

Interesting that its branded Pilot, might be an exclusive although there does not seem to be anything that exclusive to my eyes - moulded on MR plug would enhance the value - this must be late 1970s or early 1980s - near the end of the production run of an iron largely unchanged, apart from styling, from the early 1960s

And now for something completely different ....

vacbear58's profile picture
A long lost piece of office technology - what is it?

A comptometer.

I should say that when I entered the world of commerce in 1977 even then these machines were on the way out and it was only from older colleagues I learned how to use these - there was a very specific art to it and the operators received specific training using 10 fingers almost simultaneously. In larger companies there would have been rooms of these machines (rather like a typing pool) doing additions all the day long. This art largely disappeared in the 1960s and 1970s as computers (mainframes not PCs) became more affordable.

I never heard of this brand before, I was more familiar with the Sumlock models and in my first job they had an electronic Burroughs model

Pinstripe Neff Oven

vacbear58's profile picture
I knew I had forgotten something.

Back up the thread there was a query raised about the third knob on the Neff Pinstripe oven. The left knob was for the temperature of the main (fan) oven.
The centre knob for the lower conventional oven and grill (broiler).

At the time I was not sure about the left knob which I thought was to select the type of heat in the smaller oven. This proved to be the case and was largely as I stated above - choosing top only, bottom only heat and broiler. In the "off" position you get both top and bottom heat in the lower oven.

Older versions of this oven have a 4th knob - I think this may have been for a self cleaning version of this oven

Comptometers

Al
That's taken me back, when I started in the Cashiers Department at GEC in 1985 they were still using 'comps'. Mine was a Sumlock 993s electric model and I loved it and was still using it up to about 2005 when it unfortunately seized, by this time it was the last one in the company. So much quicker than using a calculator especially if you only used the digits 1 to 4 and multiples of for the higher numbers.

Sumlock

vacbear58's profile picture

One of these then :)

I never used one of these myself having been "raised" on more conventional adding machines (and I have a good turn of speed as long as I don't think about the numbers or look at the keys) but was shown their operation by members of staff who used to use them - these were in the bakeries I worked in from 1981 to 1989.

In the first bakery there were a couple of them, they were on small trolleys almost the exact size of the machine which could be pulled over beside the desk when needed. In the second bakery there was just the one which was only very seldom used.

In both bakeries these (and quite a few more) machines where used to do the tabulations for the daily baking requirements although they had been replaced in the mid 1970s by computers - (both ICL 2903) which, although hugely expensive at the time, resulted in considerable cost savings in terms of staff and improved information flow - we are not talking PCs here but machines that filled entire air-conditioned rooms, although a modern PC would have for more processing power than they did. It is not widely known that a bakery chain (J Lyons, as in Lyons Corner Houses and "nippies") was one of the major pioneers in the application of computerised information systems in the immediate post WW2 period.

A word about the "doubling up" you mention. From the picture above one can see that each register (units, 10s, 100s, 1000s etc) goes from 1 - 9. However, as a time saving technique it was possible for the hand never to go above 5 - if one wanted to enter the number 7 for example rather than move physically move the hand up to the number 7 the same result could be achieved by pressing the numbers 4 and 3 sequentially, for 8 it would be 4 and again 4 - this technique could be applied was across all the registers - although it might sound complicated, it proved to be second nature to those trained in its use.

I once saw a small "portable" comp. (these were by no means light weight) which only had keys for each register from 1 - 5 - it was only when doubling up was explained to me that I understood how this worked.

I am the first to acknowledge the power and cost effectiveness of modern PC accounting based systems but I do feel some sadness as the passing of some earlier technologies and the skilled people who used them.

That's the one, I must admit that I was pretty quick with it, as you say so long as you don't look at the numbers or think about it you can get some speed up. I always found using only the digits one to four and trebling three for nine was much easier on the wrist ;-). We could have done with a trolley, the comps took up quite a bit of space on your desk.
It sounds like you were more advanced than we were at GEC, we were still punching payroll data on terminals well into the 2000s!
