Very Old White Goods

[RocketMan]

Just got back from a friends in Norfolk. They have property they are doing up.

I say these beauties…

Anyone give me an approximate age please?
Sorry, you’ll have to follow the links. I can never get pictures to display.

no doubt they will be slung in the skip in a few days if not already, shame as I think they would look good even in the most modern kitchen.

I always like to repair old appliances if I can. Today a Hoover Electron 1100 circa 1988 just needed a set of brushes. I’d forgotten how easy these were to maneouvre on the floor and how easy to diagnose and repair. Last month it was a Miele circa 1984 needing a mains suppressor. Contrast another today – a Neff warming drawer 2 years old, not warm – didnt have a clue never seen one before (bloody expensive thing just to warm your plates). Sometimes you’ve got to learn to say no and the customer was pointed in the direction of Neff.

There’s nothing in those warming drawers, looked at a few of them and all they seem to be is an element in a box basically. Sometimes a fan motor and some funky high stuff but, basic things really, less complex than many ovens.

Getting the damn thing out however… well…

Thanks, I’ll let my friends know. They all work and they will still be used for the next year at least.
