Hi John, The Emelec information is from my collection and this was basically a rebadged Rolls Concorde i think, albeit the wash lids are positioned differently and more squared off, there were so variations of “Rolls” machines during the mid to late 60’s. I think your machine was shipped with...

Hi John, Looking forward to the unveiling of this mystery machine, if it is an export from the UK we will be able to help if needed, it will be interesting to see if it is an agitator or pulsator type washer, Acme and Manweb machines had both of types washing method on the market. Regards Keith

Thank you Launderess for the information 👍 Cheers Keith

Afternoon all, Hope you are all well. So i have just had a “new” vintage twintub delivered from Belgium, hardly used. Can anyone tell me anything about it. It’s a Falda 1003 twin tub washer. I would say dating from the late 50’s - it is a beast of a machine !! Wash tub empties bia pump but...

Hi Aled, I herald Mike's recommendation on the "Son of a gun" product for keeping rubber parts supple, although i do wonder if there are any other rubber rejuvenator products on the market ? reason why is i have been plastering my "Thor" drain hose in the SOAG product for ages and it doesn't...

Morning Aled, Congrats on getting your "New" 3174 up and running, it's looking good. I watched your clip on Youtube. As you say the hoses can perish really easily but the worst thing to go is the Resilient mount / bearing under the spin can, they are a nightmare to get out, having recently...

Hi Alan, Just had a quick look through the files and found a booklet for the Imperial machines... Cheers Keith

Thor...but didnt know they came with a bell ?

Morning Darren, Thanks for the info.... Mike, i was just curious as to how it worked, i cant really envisage the dynamics, not teasing or found one yet :) Cheers

Morning All, Just a quick question of curiousity, does anyone know how the “powder” clutch on the spinner worked on the 1965 Hotpoint Supermatic ? Cheers Keith

Afternoon Guys, Not sure if anyone is going to be able to help me on this topic, but I will give it a go, so I have recently plugged in a couple of old Twin Tub washers and they have tripped the electric's, they are in a dry garage, not warm but not freezing cold. They both have capacitors to...

Dear All, I am trying to locate any old Hoovermatic drain hoses. Any leads would be most appreciated. Thank you Keith

Hi Guys, That Hoovermatic in Seattle looks great and looks like it has has very little use. The second machine i would give a miss as it looks like the spinner resilent bearing has gone, hence the drum is all lop-sided !! Cheers Keith / Uk

Hi Walter, I would say a bit earlier like 1959/1960. Here’s my stacker set. Cheers Keith

Hi Adam, Some great information there, I might try and grease some of the parts up on my machine. I am trying to establish what the set up is, I think it is one motor that controls both the spinner and the washer agitation (spiral) but is there a clutch ? Regards

Hi Steve, Fab machine, i really luv the styling on the Twin Six, which was the lower, budget twin tub by Hotpoint. Always interested on why Hotpoint opted for the spinner to empty into the wash tub when it would have been so much easier to just have a discharge hose out the back of the...

Afternoon All, Would anyone know of where you can get some longer suspension mountings for a spin dryer ? When i google this i am getting ones about 4cm long - i really need some about 8cm ?? Cheers Keith

Hi Mike, Fab pics, i take these were the Ideal Home Exhibition ? Luv the cut-away 3174 and clear spinner lid👍 Cheers Keith

Afternoon Bill, interesting that you mention the Electrolux washer, W20 was Electrolux's first entry into the washing machine market in 1951 and was a twin tub style machine, it was unique in the fact that it had a revolutionary washing method by means of a "Floating water wing" the machine...

Jetamatic.... Evening all, finally found the time to take a quick pick of the Frigidaire Jetamatic pamphlet/leaflet. Cheers Keith
