Hi Louis, I did read a few opinons on here before i posted my latest find and some said the sharp / short wash action wasnt to their liking and Italians weren’t very sucessful in the agitator washer market. I just think its quite different. With reference to the rinse facility, there is a...

Hi Rapide, The Candy Bi-Matic was available in the UK, I think Candy was sometimes re-badged under the “Household” brand. Cheers Keith

Hi Mike, I do like the green agi, the 4 vanes are slightly twisted at the ends to makes the movement even stronger, the twinline hose is like the Servis hose, this one is weird in the sense its square, or should i say both of them are square. I will take a pic the weekend when im back in...

Candy Bi-matic 1959 Cheers Louis, Looking forward to getting it up and running Cheers Keith

Thanks Bob, I have waited about 10years for one of these machines 👍 Cheers Keith

Afternoon all, I can’t believe I have finally got one of my all time favourite vintage washers, it has sheer class, defined styling and is immaculate new condition. Introducing the new Candy Bi-Matic of 1959 I came by this machine from a friend who lives in Italy, the owner was given it in...

One for the OZ guys.... Not sure anyone can help but Hotpoint had a large wringer washer here in the UK for many years (aprox 40 yrs) called the Empress, however the other day i am sure a saw an advert for the same machine on Ebay Australia but the model was called an Heiress ? Can anyone...

Matthew, It does look like there could be an arm which is lifted from the right-hand side near the spinner bit like the set up on the original HP 1400. Are there any Oz guys on here who have one in their collection or have seen/ used one ? Regards Keith

Morning Guys, I received a nice "Galamatic" brochure this morning and was curious to know if the machine had a discharge water arm on the spinner side like the original Supermatic ? The machine looks like it could have one built in to the rear consul, but there is no mention of it in the...

Evening guys... Well my daily driver a Hotpoint 1504 top loader days maybe numbered, i have put on a wash tonight and it started making quite heavy clonking noises..when i removed the filter clean tray i could see that the agitator was slipping which rapidly got worse, i stopped it and put it to...

Hi Austin, L.S.A ????

I recently noticed how old parts have increased massively in price, this multi port pump for the hoovermatic is listed on ebay for £195.00 !! It is not even original its a pattern part. Be interesting to see if it sells 🙄 Keith

WOW.... Al, it looks fantastic what a wonderful space you have created, wall-2-wall washers. Do you have any space left for the Twin Tub's / Singles Tub's & Spinners...? Be great to see it in the flesh some day Cheers Keith

Morning Richard, Thankyou - Often in Leeds & Newcastle for work so must arrange a meet up Cheers Keith

Hi Al, Happy belated Birthday Wishes, looks lke a good time was had by all :) Maybe 2018 will be the year when i make it to a “Wash-in” Cheers Keith

Hi Al, I saw that page of washers and the Morphy Richards thing also caught my eye, I have seen in Home magazines of the time that Morphy Richards were listed as selling a twin tub similar to the Rolls machine, there were quiet a few companies that adopted the "Rolls" principal: Frigidaire...

Hi a Richard, I will do a shot of the drum shortly, it is really small not very very deep. Keith

Hi WTF2800, Yep i still have my Liberator set - washer & dryer. There must be other liberators out there !!

Thread 61 & 69: Hi James & Stefan, The washing machine you are referring to could be a machine from the late 50's produced by Parkinson - this machine had no actual agitator or pulsator - it moved the water by a strong pump and the special designed tub whirled the clothes around. I have only...

Austin, With reference to your question in Thread 88# - the Frigidaire doesn't have an auto-rinse feature and rinsing is done by filler hose into the spinner. Thread 113# That "Rolls" logo is very swirly - I think it would have been an earlier design as the later logo was as you say more block...
