Hoover Keymatic

Imperial Superautomatic

Great idea Paul I've been though my collection of leaflets and looked for brochures for our earliest Automatics here in the UK. Here's some machines that we all know and some leaflets hopefully some of you will not have seen before (or too many times!). Cheers, Alan

thanks very much for sharing really enjoyed reading and seeing the photos of your new project. The motor looks very interesting, does it change speed from wash to spin with a solenoid? Cheers, Alan

Thank you Mike and team for sharing such a wonderful post, I've so enjoyed it and watching all the videos! Just fabulous that so many of these machines are saved and restored. Cheers Alan

Something to add to this old post Hi Paul, I found this the other day when looking for brochures for Mike’s post on twin tubs. Thought I’d post it here to add to your history. Cheers Alan

Thanks Steve For posting those brochures, very interesting reads. The Morphy Richard’s is a rebadged Rolls, no?. With the stay in doors lockdown here, certainly freeing up extra time to enjoy the website more and to post and to while away the time in a nice manner! Here’s a Servis instruction...

Few other bits and pieces on the Philips Toptwin

Philips Toptwin Fascinating video Mike, very much enjoyed it. The clutch arrangement looks very similar to the Hoover Keymatic. Here’s some instructions albeit not exactly the same model as in your video. Cheers Alan

Brochure from 1978 Think this was nearly the last re-incarnation of the Hoovermatic[this post was last edited: 3/24/2020-05:32]

Instructions for my Mum’s Hoovermatic Knew I had them somewhere!

Great read thanks very much for sharing a nice memory.

Super read Mike thank you so much for taking the time to compile a list. My Mum had Hoover twin tub when I was growing up and I used to fill it for her and get it ready for use (aged probably about 6) and then stayed with her whist she did the laundry turning the knobs on instruction. I...

Great to see this thread again You're welcome Mike and all. Of all our UK washing machine history the Servis top loader remains (and probably will remain) lost now to only our memories, I know that an All fabric was found a while ago, but the remainder are still allusive. Somebody mentioned I...

Super read A very well done Darren and team, it looks absolutely amazing. And thank you Mike for documenting and sharing the details so well. So interesting to see what members are doing. Cheers, Alan

Most welcome Al What I like and find amusing about these machines (except the last machine from Italy) is that it’s the same tub just in ever bigger cabinets! I had one of these in for repair once and marvelled at the complexity of pulleys and belts. Alas like so many other machines which came...

And here’s the brochure with the full range

I have a new keymatic heater Mike Firstly, great event, super to see the weekend unfolding. Looks like an amazing time was had by all. And secondly I have a spare new Keymatic heater you can have Mike, I’ve sent you an email. Great event. Cheers Alan

Best of luck Very exciting to see what they say. Cheers Alan

I’d have one Hi Cam, I have a non working Keymatic, the boot on it is long perished as are the sump pipes. It’s a restoration project I have in mind to start soon. I’d be willing to buy at least one, if not two at the same prices Matthew mentions. Great that you’re looking into this. If I...
