p.s noticed that the Mk72 in the brochure has black switches. Mike's Mk75 supadrt has a black switch - must be an early machine! Paul

Hi Alan. Many thanks for posting the servis Mk72 brochure - that was a total treat to look through, to read your reminiscences of your parents machine and stirred memories that I have that machine and the following Mk300. My aunty Madge and uncle Arnold had a Mk72 (replaced by a Model 6030...

Thanks for the information Anthony. I hoped that somewhere along the lines a photo of the machines you worked on would surface. From looking for adverts on newspaper archives, it looks like the WTD ran from about 1964 till 1966, whereupon it was replaced by the visually very similar 'De Luxe'...

Indesit L5 Below is an image I found a couple of days ago and is from an advert for CIVIC stores. It shows the Indesit Europa Bio (mid range) and the very rare Super Bio (top of the range) which boasted chrome trims all the way around the front of the bodyshell and what looks like a wood grain...

Indesit L6SGB Hi Alan. Thanks for posting the Indesit instruction manaual! Finally I can now have an idea as to what the programming of my example is, rather than guessing and hoping for the best. LOL. Sadly this example is a bit of a weepy leaker and awaits a pair of experts eyes to...

Thanks Louis for linking the Zanussi and Privileg videos. Those videos for the A38T (wonder what was different between that and the A35?) are the ones that I remember. You really couldn't put much more water in that Zanussi on final rinse! That Privileg looks like a lovely little machine and...

Mirroring Alan's thanks Thanks to Louis and Chris from me also, for posting the Schulthess images. Never see that system before - quite an eye opener and a new variation for me on the traditional keyplate system. Bosch also did a keyplate controlled twin tub too. Did any other manufacturers go...

Not forgetting HOOVER! Here is the 'New Magic' AutoJet and SuperJet brochure from 1979, though I think the range will have been introduced in 1978, alongside the laundry range (could be wrong though). In the past, I think people came to the conclusion that these were Bauknecht machines in...

VERY trusting indeed, Alan! Thanks for the picture of your family's Philips dishwasher and those of it being taken apart! Not wanting to induce thread drift into the world of washers on a dishwasher thread, BUT what washer did you have at this time? Thanks also for posting the photos of your...

Another set of obscure machines Hi all I have got to get my archive in some semblence of order, so its time for another batch of obscure twin tubs (some more obscure than others) before they get filed away: CASTOR Universal (ca 1959-60) D.E.S Twin Tub (ca 1965-67) ... 'D'omestic 'E'lectric...

Hi Rolls_Rapide. 'The Acme contract might have been nobbled from both ends at the same time - here in the UK as Acme went out of business - and in Italy as Zoppas came under Zanussi control'. Quite possibly true. Whilst I was trawling newspaper archives, I stumbled across another direct sale...

ZANUSSI P5 and A35T I have a photo lifted from a similar advert to yours Alan. I wonder of the P5 was a bucking broncho, like the compact H-axis AEG machines were? Many videos on Youtube of the AEG top loaders doing their thing. Other than the image and similar advert to yours, I dont have...

ROLLS Robot ... and rolling on from Imperial, through to another Italian machine sold direct to the customer - the Rolls Robot. In fact the Rolls didnt roll very far from Imperial, cause it was another case of badge engineering and was a clone of the Imperial REX, manufactured by REX-Zanussi...

Hi Alan. Many thanks for posting the brochures - always a treat! Wonderful to see a 3226 Keymatic brochure - this is the machine that my godmother had, when I was a youngster. The suspension cable snapped and the drum dropped and sadly that was that :-( The timedial always looked smarter than...

Hi Jon. I remember you mentioning on a past thread about the Keymatic you used on the Isle of Wight. Attached is the brochure from 1981 - enjoy! Regards Paul

Hi Rolls_Rapide. I don't remember Which magazine mentioning the ACME at all - might have missed them doing so though. There certainly was never an image printed of one though, thats for sure. Perhaps it wasn't around for long enough and fell between the cracks, or too few sold to warrant a...

CREDA 10300 Hi Craig and Rob. Hope you are both doing OK. After searching for information on the Creda 10300 for years, it was great to finally get an idea as to what it looked like, even if it was just fairly poor quality line drawings - although I think the fourth image is possibly a...

Hi Tunde. Welcome to the forum. I don't think the UK market ever received the Bosch keyplate controlled model so, on that assumption, your old machine will have been a Hoover Keymatic for sure. Question is, which one? There were a number of models, across a number of different ranges and sold...

... and they had the blue treatment originally. Do you know if the all button model was introduced with this blue range, or was it a later addition? Paul

Hi Alan. Many thanks for posting the Philips brochure - a very smart looking series of machines. Only discovered a year or two ago, via one single photograph, that the range was warmed over and got the black fascia treatment. I think the photo machine is a 2000SX ...
