@mike, I will try and take a pic of the leaflet later, it isn't a very informative pamphlet though. It is a 3 page fold out item. You can't see if the tub has holes as its speckled grey and is the same pic as in thread 96. It does show a pic of the wash mechanism. Cheers K

Jetamatic... I think it had a heating element in the outer tub like the Hotpoint, it mentions nothing like the Parnall set up in the brochure or installation instructions. Cheers Keith

Hi Louis, Fantastic, thanks for looking through your archives !! The Viking machine, is the big dome a filter? and the side areangement at 9 o’clock is the jets ? I have now got a pic of the tub, nice pale blue tub with 4 jets to the right handside of the tub. Cheers

@Louis, thanks for digging through the archives and finding the Easy Spindrier washer, the Lec-matic has got to be a variation of this machine, i luv the shape, like i said before its a bit “teardrop” shape. From the literature on the Lec, you could fill the spinner up for rinsing, let the...

Hi Austin, It does look at bit American, but it is a re-badged Dutch export. I only know this as this information and the above pic came from a lady called Faith Hinds who use to run the Laundry & Mangle Museum in Frant in Kent, I was meant to have gone there in the early 90's but never made...

@ Louis, Thanks for having a look, I am fairly positive it is either Dutch or German, as the seller has confirmed it was purchased while they were based in Germany but could have been an import from the Netherlands. Another twin tub which was available in the UK for a while in the early 60's...

Morning Guys, Not sure if you can help or shed any light on this unusual twin tub which looks to date from the late 50's to early 60's. The badge on the front says "C*ome" ?? I can't find anything on the web about the machine or company. Regards [this post was last edited: 10/29/2020-05:43]

Afternoon Mike, Would be great to pop up and see it sometime along with meeting up with some of the guys from the UK group, long over due :( Do we think this is the only actual Vactric machine made, I remember there was mention of a turbulator simple single tub washer mentioned before in...

@mike, The Vactric has wonderful colour and now seeing it in action is a fantastic and looking to not bad condition for a machine that is some 62 years old. Have you guys adapted it so the hose comes out the back ? and changed the pump switch to just lift not lift and turn ? Cheers Keith...

Afternoon Steve, I have got a feeling the Rowen was a bi-product of the Easitwin which was re-badged as the Midelec, there is no information on the pamphlet regarding the company as I think t was commissioned and backed by the Midland Eastern Electricity Board. I have checked on the wash tub...

Hi Mike, Following up on the Rowen Twin Tub I attach the pamphlet that I recently acquired. Regards Keith

Hi Paul, Great new load of machines indentified there :) the Rowen was an agitator machine, same as the Easiclene / MEB machine. I have a pamphlet i can picture when i get home (currently in the Orkney’s) Cheers Keith

Afternoon All, Had a play with my new Perobot Twin tub yesterday - dates from 1955 and the washer and spinner are in the same tub :) See it in action Cheers Keith UK

Hi Austin, Had a quick rumage and found some techincal data on Rolls spinner, i believe its general info as opposed to a model specific. With regards to the “Pye” twin tub - i got this from a guy in Crommer / Norwich many years ago, he had, had a shop which he owned but went bust but instead...

Evening Paul, Crumbs never knee half of them even existed - “Gayday” twin tub, luv it !! The only i have is the Pye twin tub, really just a Rolls. Cheers Keith

Hi Adam, I am not sure what the knob thread would be like and will check later, As regards to the wash load I would say it would be around 3 - 4lbs, we had budget twin tubs in the UK, Rolls / Goblin / Frigidaire / Burco etc which had similar washtubs and held around 4lbs. The wash action was...

Hi Adam, Nice machine you have there, mine was used in a shop display and then was stored at the back of a shop for many years all in the darkest depths on Neu Wulmstorf / Germany. These machines have quite a basic operation, the lower knob is for the heater and when pulled out the bulb...

Hi Adam, Nice Perobot you have there, I have just purchased one as well and they certainly whirl the suds through the clothes !! Have fun with it :) Keith

Morning Louis, I haven't been able to arrange collection yet, but hopefully in the coming weeks, it is a little bit more than I wanted to spend as well 230 euros, on top of the shipping it would be quite costly. I've just had a Perobot sent over from Germany which is great & works perfectly...
