By "Quartz," does this mean that there is a quartz crystal in its control system? Lawrence/Maytagbear |

Hi Darren This is a changeover machine from the ninties, I think it was made here as opposed to Italy. Have had it on watch for a few days until I knew I could collect, have stuck my bid on it!!! Laurence: It does indeed have a "Quartz Crystal" computer chip, Servis UK as was, produced the first Quartz computer controlled machine back in 1976, they unveiled it at the yearly big electrical show. |

I have a vague recollection from reading about washing machine repairs years ago that Servis and Hitachi collaborated on the design of a washer-dryer. I have no idea if this machine is it, I just threw that into the pot to see if that jogs anyone's memory. Chris. |

The washing machine in coronation street is HITACHI (in collaboration with servis)it was originally in des's house now charlie stubbs and tracys new house and it was moved to frankie and dannys house. the washer in des's old house has now been replaced by an hotpoint ultima washer dryer. old WM series. gail has a zanussi jetsystem in grey the rovers used to have a purple hotpoint. Dev has a Hotpoint AQUARIUS CASSATA 1100 in Pistacio Green ashley and clare only have a silver servis dryer as a washing machine! (look Closely) |

how sad i watch corrie and notice thses things. YES anyway this machine is the servis/hitachi dating from around 1991 92. it is NOT an electrolux as the drum is wrong and the door frame not to mention electrolux themselves have never had push button prog selection. the date of this machine is nothing like the electrolux i had of around the same era. |
