Hi Steve. Well, that's an ever so slightly thorough repair job! Complete dismantle and full rebuild and the reward is a grand looking machine - looks excellent with the dryer sat on top. Re the stacking kit - its a primitive affair to be honest and, with a suitable covering of the dryers...

Hi Peter. Well, as far as I know, your machine is still the only preserved black fascia Creda out there and I am so grateful that you offered it into the hands of appliance preservationists. Had you not done that, then there still would be a big gap in the ranks of preserved UK manufactured...

p.s the 'tatty'ness you mention, to my eyes, looks very superficial - once you've worked your magic, it will look great!

Hi Steve. Having had your video drop into my YouTube feed, I thought I'd nip over to here and see if you had started a thread. What a find!... and thank goodness you contacted the seller, as I think we all know where it was headed if you hadn't jumped in. Was pretty sure the 1828/01 was...

A bit of a surprise! Again from RobM (thanks for sharing them with me) is what I am pretty sure is the 610! Surprise is that it's from 1991/early 1992. By this time, Indesit has introduced the white and grey Omega models and were by now moving on to the replacement range (see the white models...

Again from 1987 ... Again from RobM's catalogue collection, below is the 420rpm model 410 and confirming the 800rpm model as the 823. With the 410 being the 420rpm model, I assume the 610 is a faster spinner? Can you confirm this to be the case? Paul

How do! Yep - Paulc is right - deffo circa 1987. Attached is a catalogue picture, courtesy of RobM's catalogue collection, showing the 800 and 1100 models and the dryer (manufactured by Creda at Blythe Bridge, for Indesit). Looks like there were three bodyshell styles in the range, with the...

Thanks for sharing the image of the Duomatic Automaster - never seen one of the those before. Would appear that, if Bloom failed to negotiate with the builders of Duomatic's automatic, he then popped over to Italy and had words with REX-Zanussi! The result was the Rolls Robot ....

Hi Rob. Thanks again for sharing more classics with us. The Indesit's and Hirundo's are interesting as, particularly with the latter, the only images I tend to see of them are from the pages of catalogues. The classic original 18-series Microtronic! Fantastic :-) Paul p.s thanks for your...

Yep - keep us updated with the restoration Bjorn. Cheers Paul

Whether a fully bronzed version of the 18680 was ever sold in the shops is unclear, but it would have looked smart. Paul

However there was possibly a second version of the 18680 - well, fascia stickers produced for it ....

whilst on the 18680 it was changed to bronze ....

Hi Bjorn. The 18580 came first in 1979, with the 18680 following in 1982. There is only one visual difference between the 18580 and 18680 and its the colour of the fascia back panel - on the 18580 it is silver/grey ...

Mystery Zanussi Finding photos of the different models of this range has always been a problem, so for you to unveil a new one is great! As well as the model number, can you confirm whether the blurb give any indication as to what the right hand button was for? I can't quite make out the symbol...

and the SL128T, with the economy button and 800/400 buttons ....

Thanks again Rob, for posting a new set of catalogue photos. You've got a mystery machine amongst them! Can you confirm for me what model the Zanussi is in photo 1? The only ones I have seen previously of this range are the S118T, with the big economy button ....

Hi Leon. It's going to look great and can't wait till you are able to show us the pics of your collection settled in their new home. Good luck with getting everything finished and the big move. Paul p.s my little bit of Australia below ....

Hi Ian. Introducing the 1823 - although we are now upto 4 preserved 1826's, a 1823 has yet to surface...

Hi Rob. Thanks for posting this manual, as its a later updated version to the one I have. Quick question - on page 6, what model number is written on the middle fascia drawing? Can't quite make it out and doesn't state (unless I have missed it) in the accompanying waffle. Cheers Paul
