Afternoon All, So another glorious day and still in lockdown which restricts much activity, so i thought lets have a play with a machine i had imported last year from Italy, the Candy Bi-matic dating from 1960. It was advertised as never used and the condition was very good when it arrived...

Morning Al, Just looking at the Bylock "President" I wonder if it Bylock used some of the parts from newly amalgamated company by Rolls. I had a look at some other Rolls machines and the Electromatic didn't have any spin-dryer cabinet side screws. I think there was a cross over of lots of...

Hi Robert, Fantastic find - congrats !!! NIB as well - excellent. Luving the lid as well, you have a brand new Thor Washer & Dishwasher there !! Cheers Keith

Hi Mike, With Acme having a wash time of just 4 minutes this machine used the impeller like the Rolls. I think the Goblin Double G, had a unique washing action yet to be uncovered. Cheers

Hey Mike, Sometimes all this thinking makes one quite dizzy, we just need a time machine to go back and check them all out and even bring a few back..!! I have that Goblin washer, the agitator doesn't float in that one, I guess there wouldn't be any W140 around now as the rubber agitator...

Acme Twin Speed Hi Mike, Just looking at some of the information that has come out on this thread and it is great and adds to the depth of knowledge which most of us crave about past machines. I did notice in your thread of #97 regarding the Acme Twin-Speed (pic courtesy of Trevor Howsam)...

Hey Chris, Nice Hoover Keymatic you have there !! and in full working order as well - excellent. While we are banged up might as well make the most of the time available and have the all important self wash-in's to lift the mood. Look forward to seeing the vid when it's finished. Keep...

Hi Mike, Arhhh another pic of the infamous "Double G" - I'm not sure what one came first, Summerscales or Goblin, I am leaning towards Scales and then Goblin took over, I have had a rummage and found the booklet that mentions the machine, it is from a magazine called "Switch on" and dates from...

@ Mike - Goblin Double G Twin Tub Hi Mike, This is a fascinating Twin tub and I have bought this machine into question sometime ago, not sure if that is the pic I posted ages ago from a Trafford mail order catalogue of 1961, but this machine has a unique washing action in the sense that it...

@ Al Pye twin doesn’t wash like that, well mine didn’t the last time I looked :) lol Keith

@austin Afternoon Austin, Good luck with the AEG Lavalux, they were wonderfully built machines, but a bit tricky to work on sometimes, I have two, one with the copper drum and one with the blue lining, the valve diverter always seems to stick and seize - both of mine have required this unit...

#frigidaire mastertwin Morning All, Busy morning with conference calls etc, with regards to the Mastertwin, it is just like the Rolls, the impeller and drain grid are in the same position as in the Rolls, one thing I did notice Anthony mentioned was the "ball on drain hose" the machine I have...

Hi Austin, I guess after 50yrs a bit of a respray is minor, good to hear its still working all ok. I had to put a new hose on mine, i did find a grey ribbed hose which is quite good. I did have to put some sealant around the side near the base of the spinner can as it was pitted and thought it...

Dear All, Just thought I would post a few short clips which I have uploaded to YouTube of the weekends events, I haven't run these machines for sometime so I thought while we are in "Lockdown" there is no better time for a play. The first machine I plugged in was my Thor Automagic 244 from...

Afternoon All, Great literature coming out like the Morphy Richard’s Twinny !! Enjoying the thread so much, it enthused me to have a play and went a started up the 3304 Hoovermatic yesterday :) Cheers Keith

Hi Al, Philips have always had a form of filter from the Top Twin’s through to the Turbo Star wringer washer..always under the agitator. The inlet on the left was purely for suds return on the Mk1 then later the arm just rested in a hole behinx the console I have a poster / leaflet of the New...

@matthew, Austin & Ian, Reference the newly styled Philips Top Twin model 3202 this was launched in 1969, as per the write up in the magazine. I think even in 1969 Philips still had the Top Twin De-Lux on offer as per the advert I originally posted. A friend of mine has used one of the 3202...

Morning Matthew, Interesting your 3304 has the plastic hinges, my 3304e must have been an early model as it still has the alloy hinges/brackets like the 3301L. Mike, i will check out the model number on the Top Twin and let you know. Cheers Keith

Afternoon All, Just having a sort our of a pile of old ERT magazines and found a few adverts, Servis updated MK41 & the New Top Twin, both from 1969. Cheers Keith

Afternoon Jean, Thanks for sharing the pic of the instruction card for the 0610, I have attached the card for the UK version 3304 / 3304E and my machine. Cheers Keith
