Final Question Does anyone know which is the correct way for the filler nozzle to work? The one off the machine has the metal part of the tube stuck into the plastic bit and the whole lot seems to side up and down in the outer spin can and the one from the spares machine had the metal tube...

Before and After

I just thought that I would share a few pictures of my latest acquisition from a month ago, thanks must go to Richard for picking this up for me. Its a Washdog from August 1972. When it arrived it was looking and smelling a little bit sorry for itself. I've now got round to giving it a thorough...

Deltic I'm glad you've enjoyed the Deltic, a brilliant piece of engineering its not only the sound that's distinctive but the smell too. The two strokes pass large amounts of oil through the exhaust which ends up in the exhaust collector drum and burns off under heavy acceleration, it also has...

A Great Weekend I'll second your comments Darren. Thanks to all concerned. Ian

Wow! The Washdog (reply #84) has just gone for £600, and there was me agreeing with Al that the starting price seemed a little high. Ian.

Creda This was the first electric cooker I came across, an Aunt had the one without the options this one has. I have many fond memories of cooking on it with her when I was a child. As standard it would have had a 6" solid boiling plate at the front with the control (second left) only graduated...

1970s Kitchen Nice pair of Supataps too. And just down the road from me. Ian.

Pressure Switch Hi Richard It might not necessarily be faulty I recall having a conversation with Mathew about this ages ago, if I remember correctly you can adjust the pressure switch to trip at the correct point. I think it has an adjusting screw somewhere. Hopefully Mathew will chip in with...

Well done Rob, that's looking very smart. I swear by G3 too, usually followed by a good dose of Autoglym. Ian.

Al I must admit I missed Minnie, it could be as she didn't have Bobby with her :-) I had the same thought about the 'Sunshine Suzies' being on the menu at a meet up. I might give the Fuzzie Wuzzies a try, I've got some Dairylea in, I do prefer lemon curd with peanut butter though. (Its nowhere...

Wonderful Al, I don't remember seeing this before. Not sure about Dairylea with lemon curd and coconut though. Was that a young Kathy Staff in the Daz advert? Ian

That's looking good Richard, keep us posted on how the test run goes. Ian

Thanks To Al for all his hard work, especially in the kitchen, hosting another excellent meet up. It was great to see the little Colston in action paired with Richard's Debonair, I've just got the ironing to do tomorrow, and the Variotronic personal viewing theatre is an inspiration! Ian.

EE Rapide Al I'd say you're spot on with 1968 this is the one mentioned in the English Electric in house magazine I have from 1966. It's the TOL model with the 'two in one' ring at front right and simmerstat at rear left. The top oven doesn't have a variable thermostat, it's fixed at 300deg...

You beat me to it Al!

Frigidaire Dryer Steve That looks very similar to a dryer one of our neighbours had when I was growing up, oddly enough I've just bumped into her in Morrisons not half an hour ago. It was however branded as a Philips and the fascia I think was brown, it was paired with a Hotpoint 1502. She...

Rob Just had a thought, further to our conversation earlier, what are the wheels like? I guess they've gone flat but if not I can find a home for them. Thanks Ian
