Thanks Brad If ever you make it to East Yorkshire then please come and see me , the kettle is always on. And you can get your hands on a real English wringer washer! Cheers Lance

I'm not sure about vintage Perhaps my laundry room is just a load of old stuff but vintage makes it sound nicer. This is actually my garage which has a door directly from the house. It has a nice deep sink for rinsing, an original 1940s kitchen unit made from WW2 aircraft ( I kid you not )...

Hi Darren I havnt really looked at the pump yet as I havnt had time, it just stopped working for no apparent reason. I will call you once I have found the cause. Best Lance

Hi Keith It was me . Never mind and thanks for looking , unfortunately the pump on this machine has simply stopped working , absolutely no idea why. I took the back off and had a look but the pump is attached directly to the gearbox so not a two minute job to investigate further. Any ideas...

No sorry , I don't know how to get it to Ireland but if you get it to East Yorkshire I will happily store it for you until you can make arrangements. Best Lance

Unfortunately no picture of the machine as it's still inside the box where it has spent the last 40 years! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Bendix-7147A-Washing-Machine-/281432739246?pt=UK_Irons_Presses&hash=item4186b2cdae

Impell action Not a Rolls from Budica by any chance? I really would be most grateful if you could have a rummage for that nozzle , I know you mentioned it before but I didn't like to bother you . Cheers Lance

Another rare beast ??????! Was it a vactric ? Was it? Oh come on , was it? The hotpoint twin tub is a lovely machine , I am lucky enough to have one , unfortunately the filter flow spout is totally buggered so if anyone comes across one I would be most grateful. Just got a Colston Ariston...

That looks good I would love the recipe please

I'm confused I can't see a problem with it, please put me out of my agony!

I do of course realise that a plastic twin tub isn't really vintage but the whole twin tub idea is so I thought you might like to take a look at this Thompson twin tub. Both myself and Ozzie were quiet impressed with the results we got from it. Only 1400 spin but comparable to many automatics...

Thank you For your kind comments, I'm glad you like it . My husband is a little bit jealous , he is the " green fingered " one and my first attempt at gardening is equally as good as his!

This poor old thing was beyond repair but I couldn't scrap it. This is the first time in 50 years I have planted anything!

Hi Keith Thanks very much for that. I didn't even know there was a breather hole so that's great to know, I shall do exactly as you said. Hope all is well with you Cheers Lance

Hi guys, I am visiting Ralf in Germany next month and taking him a Hotpoint Countess. It will need to be laid on its side in the back of the car for about 36 hours. Any tips on what I might do to stop it leaking oil? I have been told that this is a big problem with wringer washers if not kept...

Wringer washers are great fun This is one of mine , A Parnall from the late 50s, very well built and still going strong . I have also added a youtube link which shows it in use both washing and wringing. Hope you enjoy it.

The picture Is from an ideal home show book. It covers various eras with quite a few photos of home appliances but just two of washers. Here is another one , it doesn't mention what make the machine is but looks very similar to a Thor that I have

I came across this photo and wondered what model this is. Looks like a superheat, clearly a Servis ,but I have never seen one with a hose on the outside like this one. I think its a gas heated model.

The jug It is a reproduction of a jug which originally was used to bring beer from the cellar to the bar and then poured into glasses and sold. The brewery on the jug no longer exists but is now known as "Theakstones" in the small town of masham ( pronounced without the "H" as Masam) The jug is...

Fitted kitchens In the UK fitted kitchens became much more popular in the 70s. Until the war most kitchens were very basic to say the least. After the war 120000 prefabricated homes were built to deal with the housing shortage. Affectionaly know as "Prefabs" they were incredibly popular and...
