this old Hotpoint HC60990 was brought in for repair, unfortunately the hoses are perished and the pump has snapped off.
love to know the age, i have offered it to our local museum.
Re: another one to put an age too
I think they were referred to as a Hotpoint Princess made around 1957 ‘ish?
Spookily enough the only ‘stock item’ I have left to fit these gems is the lid latch retaining clips! Well you never know when they might come in handy do you? :rolls:
Re: another one to put an age too
1957..? 😀
Re: another one to put an age too
Just think, Jim (Iadom) was sitting his 11 plus at the time…destined in later years to fixing them.:rolling:
Re: another one to put an age too
It’s a shame you could not fix it. Tomorrow I will be putting new bearings in a Hotpoint 95130. It was one of the first machines I worked on when I started in 1998 and still going strong 😀

Imagine what that £56 is equivalent to today( about 10 times an average wage ) and you can see why we have such rubbish to work on now 🙁
Probably would be around the price of a mid range Miele.

No doubt the profit will be funding the cruise……:clown:
Re: Another one to put an age to……
Strange one that, have to admit I have not seen one of them. Not a Princess, the Princess was a hand wringer but it also had a small bank of push button switches along the front as you can just make out in the E-Bay offering.
If Ken puts a bid in I will collect it. 😀
