We picked up a working brown and beige one with the orange bit on it when we bought all the whitegoods from one of our passed on customers.

Can you identify this Hotpoint machine?

Martin will know so hopefully he will give one or two people a chance at it first. 😉

The picture was sent to me a short while ago by someone who saw one of my posts in the public forums. He restores old washers and seems to have quite a collection. 8)

Collecting washing machines? Now that is sad! :rolls: I had a Liberator machine that I used off and on until I broke it up 3 or 4 years ago but mine was the ordinary sort with wrap around cabinet. I still have the instruction book for it somewhere. Not very PC but quite entertaining with the ’70s fashion etc.

What was the story behind the 1826 ? something about a fire somewhere ?

Re: They dont build em like that anymore – Part 20

Tis the 1826, the 1823 had no option buttons on the front and a fantastic spin speed of just 370rpm. The 1826 was not much better at around 650rpm. Can you imagine the earache we got as engineers from customers who had previously had a 1600 with an 1100rpm spin or the top loader that did 1050rpm.

The one major fire during my time was at the central stores in Lutterworth, a massive loss of spares that caused major problems.

We were told the Zanussi machines were introduced to fill a supply gap created by factory refurbishment at the time.

They also used several Zanussi made fridges and fridge/freezers.

You have to admire the amount of work that has gone into that. 8)
