lets kick off another month with a rare Neff combination microwave/conventional oven. I am not sure about the age, whether it is 1980s or 1990s

Zanussi Dryer

vacbear58's profile picture
The text on this ad nearly made me laugh out loud

"Tumble dryer by Zanussi.
Perfect for drying clothes.
Only ever been used to dry clothes.
So, if you have some wet clothes and you want to dry them this could just be the machine for you.
It's also white and has a handy door on the front to put wet clothes in.
Runs on electricity."

Bit like cooking in a sauna, but that's 1970s loveliness for you - oven hob and hood not included - maybe they plan to put 40 year old appliances in their new kitchen. The units look a bit like Hygena QA so not particularly good quality

Hoover & Miele

vacbear58's profile picture
I suppose this should strictly go over on vacuumland but I thought it might be of interest too. The Hoover polisher would date from about the first half of the 1960s, most often they were sold with a tank for shampoo and the like. The models from the 1950s (polishers only) had a headlight.

The Miele is a rarity. Firstly this combo of polisher and vacuum is very unusual in the UK, I believe they are more popular in mainland Europe. That's not to say they were not sold here and Hoover even had a model in the mid 1960s, but they are not common. That it is a Miele is even rarer - although very common place now (and they have been for about the last 15 years) its very unusual to find a Miele cleaner of any kind from before 1980 and even up to 1990 they are not common.

Thanks Hass for posting the ads above.

I had one of those Candy machines around 1990/91 (it was not new) and as I recall it washed OK although the spin speed was only 600rpm or maybe 400 - it was pretty low anyway. That's a rare machine although I can think of only one member likely to get it.

Revo Cooker

I would have thought this would be a bit later than 1954. The Revo brand disappeared in the mid 1960s - absorbed as part of the Radiation group (Jackson, Parnall) and later as part of the TI (Creda) group

GEC Cooker

Ridden hard and put away wet. This dates from around 1949/50 and indeed I have an advert of it framed in my kitchen. But interesting to see how the designs changed from essentially the pre WW2 design as here, against the more modern approach of the Revo listed above - there is only about 5-6 years between them both

Revo Monarch cooker

foraloysius's profile picture
That's a wonderful cooker. I assume the grill is behind the top door and heats the square plate on top? The ad says that it heats up your kitchen like an AGA, but this cooker wouldn't be heating all day, right?

Revo

vacbear58's profile picture
Louis

Maybe not so wonderful - I had to go back and look at it more closely.

Its actually a bit of a cop out when they talk about the warming compartment when most cookers of the time would have had a drawer, usually heated, under the oven as well as a compartment of some kind for the grill - with the oven on this was more than ample to warm plates even with the grill being on. With the Revo there appears to be nothing under the oven at all, they have just enclosed the space.

You are right about the rectangular plate, and they were not very effective. If using the plate you were supposed to insert a deflector to sent the heat back up but it was not that good. Of course if you were using the grill that plate would get hot too.

It would only heat up the kitchen when the oven or plates were on, a sign of inefficiency more than anything else, even with the small gap it would be interesting to see the state of the cupboards beside it. And the handles look like they have been replaced.

Returning to the GEC ("I am so happy with my GEC") it is missing the door on the grill compartment but I noticed something else - in the second picture you can see a cover marked "Fuses" - I have never before or since seen such a thing on a British cooker - I could only think there might have been one if there was a 15amp socket (i.e. unfused plug) on the cooker itself

This is a very unusual Philips radiogram, the pictures are not good unfortunately. The turntable looks like it might be a later version although the tuner does not look THAT old (late 1950s/early 60s perhaps) so it might be the original - the styling looks rather older than the components

Canadian 40amp range/cooker work in UK?

Seeking help, a friend moving back to England wants to take her Canadian built range, no electronics all mechanical controls. It is rated as needing a 40 amp circuit and currently has 4 wire connection, 2 hot 120 volt wires equalling 240 volts, 1 neutral and 1 separate ground. Unlike the USA which still has some 3 wire connections,Canada has required plug-in 4 wire connecting cables and sockets,and conversion of older direct hard-wired ranges if ever disconnected, for decades. With a UK suitable connecting cable should this work in UK?

That Philips radio looks a bit odd without any push buttons, but perhaps the dials are double? The turntable however is a Philips classic! It's an AG1014 and it's indeed from the 50's. It looks newer because it has a newer element on it. The original one was much wider and a bit more yellow. It was hard to find a picture of it with the original element, but here it is.

Canadian Range

vacbear58's profile picture
I am no expert but it could be tricky.

It is not unusual in this country nowadays to have a 40amp breaker in the distribution board it is by no means universal and would almost certainly require a new line brought from the board to the range.

I think a lot will depend on how things are wired internally - anything wired between one hot and neutral (hence 120V) will almost certainly have to be changed and that may not be possible. Unless she is bringing a container of other possessions over it is going to be horrifically expensive to ship it. And, of course, if any parts go wrong it will be almost impossible to replace. And then she will have to have someone connect it up, 3 or 4 wire plugs for ranges are unknown here and she may have problems getting a reputable electrician connect it.

Is there any particular reason why she wants to bring it? We have a huge selection of both free standing and built in units with all sorts of combinations of cooktops and ovens which are unlikely to be more expensive than shipping a range over. Sorry to be so negative about it all

Philips radiogram

vacbear58's profile picture
Good point Louis, maybe that is why I did not associate it so much with the 1950s, indeed you would have expected pushbuttons to select the wave bands - there seem to be four (Long Wave, Medium Wave, Short Wave and FM) and of course "Gram" for record player and even perhaps Tape. It is such an unusual style, I wonder if it was something that was custom made for the Philips components

Wrighton Kitchen

Back in the day these Wrighton kitchens were right at the cutting edge of British design, I have seen 50 year old advertisements which would look contemporary were it not for the more dated decoration. This would need a bit of work, and I am not convinced it would be worth even £50 but a low offer might secure a vintage kitchen

Creda

This was the first electric cooker I came across, an Aunt had the one without the options this one has. I have many fond memories of cooking on it with her when I was a child. As standard it would have had a 6" solid boiling plate at the front with the control (second left) only graduated Low Med High. The viewing door was another option against the solid door and inner glass door.
