This machine is from 1973

I am very proud of this new acquisition, a stainless machine . If you want to see more (and inside), it is in the gallery of my site "sans rivale." I must make some checking and I will make a video next week. http://www.lamachinealaver.com

in France too It's not a so old washing machine. Before, there were wooden non electrical machine. In France too, we had this kind of washing machines. here is a pic of a French one machine from 1920.

heating and bubbles As promised, it is on my site : a new video abaout the 1967 Brandt during heating. The bubbles on the lid are so funny ... Enjoy the show! Bert http://www.lamachinealaver.com

yes, 100°! The statomatic can really boil, but the manual instructions says it's not necessary. Indeed, French people, in 60's, were very attached at the boiling option, because the used to the "lessiveuse", before washing machines: It was a metal tub with a central pipe and double bottoms. The...

knobs for Diomede Here's pic of knobs

spin Thanks for putting a direct link: I do not know as doing so. To spin, the balancing system of the machine is a bit difficult to explain in English, but I will try; If you do not understand some things, tell me. The tub is not suspended. The machine is based on a pedestal made heavy...

light for the heater Thanks for that explanation, which seems very convincing. I thought of another, but without any warranty. You must choose with the timer a time of washing and manuel instructions said you must choose a sufficient duration depending on the temperature. It is clarified that...

The fisrt knob is for temperature from cold to 100° The second knob is the timer but there is no two sectors. I'll send a pic this evening.

You'll have a video during spin and heating very sonn. You see, it's very funny, above all when it's boiling (100°C). For softner, you select a new program after the wash (one rinse and spin)or, if you're here, you put it on the drum when the timer indicates the last rinse and the lamp lights...

hello Diomède, During filling, the water comes in the dispenser, which is at the front of the drum (see also in my gallery). That's why there is a lamp that lights during filling. In programs with prewash you must: 1) Start; 2) When the light goes out: - put detergent for the prewash on...

buttons Hello Louis - there 2 lights: the lower lights when the machine is filling, the higher when heat is on; - the pushbuttons: the red one is stop The, you have: - "marche" = on button; - "fragile" = delicates : wash with high lewel of water and soak longer than agitation; no spin; no...

ROB and MRX Dear Rob, On my site, you can see washing machines you don't have in UK. I Think of, for example, Flandria, Brandt, Thomson, Candy, and so on. Dear MRX, Brandt, the most famous French brand of appliances is not French now, because unfortunately it was acquired by the group...

Your washing machine is superb! Congratulations! I have one old automatic washing machine (French) which had the same trouble with the timer. I put a little bit oil and now it turns perfectly. It is also possible that the hole in the back of the programmer was broken. But in this case, the...

rubber seal and drum opening Dear Diomède; 1° yes, there is a small white rubber seal which joins the tub with the cabinet; 2° and yes again, drum is like old vedette or brandt: when you puch the red button, the lid is slipping very easiliy. To close it, you rotate the door until the red...

Impeller On my gallery, you can see the interior of the tub and impeller (this the machine from 50's, the second pic indeed) Bert

Hi Chester and Diomède, I love the toploader too. The Candy is the only top loader I have with a dispenser at the front, like on front washing machine. I was lucky to find it (on ebay French) in good condition and it works! I'll make a video in few days because, before, I have a video of the...
