Hello Constiff Welcome to the group. Hopefully the pics below will have attached. They are taken from the AEG April 1995 brochure and contain the 6650. I actually bought the 6555 in 1996 but regretted it and would have preferred the 6650. The 6555 was a good machine but used hardly any...

Hi Paul As an addition, I found this pick in the 1996 Seeboard catalogue. All the best Rob

Great memorial to someone who went too soon and clearly had something positive to contribute. I never knew Gary well but I clearly remember him when I joined AW. He's were the first videos I saw of the beloved square door Hoovers on youtube. Not long ago I asked after him as I had remembered...

Well done on a great restoration, you must have a great sense of achievement. Yet another machine from the past saved, especially one so rare. Rob

@alanlondon Loving your stories regarding your childhood Servis Alan. I have sent you an email via your profile email, I hope you don't mind. Rob

Great thread Paul, I had no idea the 10300 has a stainless steel door, I just assumed the difference in numbers was something basic like an orange button. Thank you Alan for the brochures, you seem to have a nice collection. Rob

Thank you and interesting points Thank you Mathew Some interesting points you raise. I guess it is like today 'paying for a name'! I've got a Zanussi Lindo 300 which apart from some option differences is essentially very similar to an AEG. Yet, mine was around £289 but an AEG would be about...

Hi all, this time Hotpoint through the 70s-90s. Starting in the early 70s with the square door 1100rpm automatic, quite ahead of its time and extremely rare. The classic purple machines start around the early to mid 70s and end in 1979. It was around this time the door shape changed and purple...

Wow, what a post, thanks Mike for taking the time to post all these wonderful pics. Great to see a lovely bunch of guys get these wonderful machines sorted. Such a variety too, with old twin-tubs to modern Ebac's. Hope you all had a fab time. Rob

Thank you all, you are more than welcome. Wouldn't it be great to have a time machine where you could go back and pick some of these beauties up. Having seen the A3060 from around 1979, I can confirm it is a great machine and surprisingly quiet for a brush motor. The Electron I have isn't as...

Hi all I have shared these on another site but realise that some may not have seen them as you are not members of dominant social media site! I had the idea to compare washers over the years to see how they have changed. It is interesting to see when new models came out. It is important to...

Thank you for a lovely weekend Many thanks Mike for posting these. Just got back from a trip around Yorkshire. Thank you so much to everyone over that weekend, I was made to feel very welcome and really enjoyed everyone's company. Big thank you too to the lovely Stephen, whom I class as a...
