Coronet How very interesting that you have managed to get this machine, I wonder if it could have been an "import special" as sometimes happened with other UK manufactured appliances. As Austin says, this machine is a direct descendant of the Rolls machines which were on sale here from around...

AEG That seemed like a good deal, I hope you get a lot of use out of it :) I am guessing you will be looking for a dryer now as well - although you will probably need to go vintage vented to get something like the speeds you are accustomed to although the capacity maybe more limited. Heat pumps...

That particular English Electric machine was not introduced until the mid 1960s - yes there was a Liberator washer from 1960 just not this one! The earlier model had the programme dial and programme selector on the front, not the top also had a door resembling that of the Westinghouse Space Mate...

1961? Its a very interesting video but it most certainly not 1961, more like 1966 or 1967 Cooker and fridge by GEC, laundry equipment English Electric. Mixer is a Burco Mix, the ubiquitous Sunbeam pan and the iron (with what looks like round pin 15amp plug again GEC. Here is another from ESB

My pleasure, love to see the results and get your verdict on the recipe :)

British & Australian Top Loaders Welcome Myelle There are still a few Hotpoint top loaders knowking around. I also have an Australian top loader that I am looking to move on - nothing wrong with it but I now have to operate on the principle "one in - one out". Contact me on the email in my...

Constellation Congratulations, it sounds like these are quite rare in Australia whereas they are still quite common here in the UK. I understand these were assembled from kits supplied by Hoover in North Canton, rather than from the UK. It is interesting that the Australian Constellations...

Zanussi I am glad you mentioned that Louis as I thought some later machines that I saw on YouTube had a strong resemblance to Zanussi both in looks and sound. I thought the wash action of the Castor interesting, reminding me somewhat of many more modern machines

And speaking of Italy A UK manufactured Automagic

This came up last night when I was looking for something else - strikes me that it would count as a semi-auto. An Italian Castor machine from 1950

Dont know anything about these myself but here is a video of one in action and another I would just suggest you make doubly sure its grounded before connecting any power to it. Good luck with it:)

Not mine but belonging to a friend Adam If you check out the thread linked below you will see a good selection of Semi-autos from the UK. There are also links to videos on there. I understand that the older Bendix models (the cream ones) are all semi-autos. Both of the Parnalls shown in Reply...

Happy Anniversary Robert To have kept this site going for 20 years is a real achivement, thank you for all that you do for us to keep it going. Here's to the next 20 years Al

This film clip showed up in my YouTube feed today. The washer looks to me like a Thor, but the name badge on the machine looks like an "A" to me. Any ideas which machine this is? Al PS I always did like Marjorie Main :)

Speaking of bacon .... Guacamole or thinly sliced avocado is REALLY good in a sandwich with some crispy fried or broiled bacon

Gary I was so sad to hear of Gary's passing - one of the most down to earth charactors you could ever hope to meet but really good hearted as well. With his health issues he has not been active on here is recent years but looking back on his 1650 postings they are all hallmarked with passion...
