I wonder if any of the follow on range survives - the 4824 and 4834? Hopefully somewhere and one day an example of each will be saved. Regards Paul

Hi Paul. Welcome to the club! Autojets and Superjets - its quite ironic that the preserved examples are from the older ranges. I say ranges, cause the first two ranges were visually identical, apart from the titles slapped on the front. Thankfully examples of both the earliest types are safe...

Hi Austin. Not wanting your question to be lost in all the posts - please see Austin's enquiry, in reply #289 and repeated below .... 'Hello Do you happen to know if the spin can on a Rolls 66 is threaded on the shaft? I have tried to remove it by pulling to no avail and wondered if it may be...

Thanks Rolls_Rapide, for the links to the department store histories. Just read up on John James, via the history on the flickr link - what a generous bloke he was. Paul

Thanks Anthony for posting the catalogue pages. Thank goodness people have saved these and many are now available to purchase. I have bought a fair number on disk myself and they have proved to a real eye opener over the years, showing many vintage machines and some of them quite obscure too...

Hi Keith. Did you mean that you have a PYE twin tub in your collection? If so, any pictures of it possible? I like 'Gayday' too! lol.. Paul

'Therefore, one wonders, did the other House of Fraser stores also sell the machine, such as 'Binns', 'Harrods', etc?' Good question and one I think I can offer an answer to! Just been and checked the other adverts I saved concerning the ACME Automatic and there was another one, advertising...

CREDA 10300 debonair electronic ... continued ... and quite a startling machine it was, with a stainless steel door and two tone brushed fascia - different to such an extent that I did an artist impression of one. Does anyone remember seeing or even selling the Creda 10300 - with that...

CREDA 10300 debonair electronic In the history of the Creda square door, there was one model that always evaded the searches for information - the 10300 debonair electronic. This model was only sold through independent retailers and this has always struck me as strange. Why reduce the chances...

ACME Automatic ... continued recently another collector got in touch with me to say that he was watching some old episodes of Crossroads on YouTube and a machine he had never see before had appeared. He popped me the link and low and behold - the machine appears at 16m 20s in! Paul

ACME Automatic Sold door to door and for years a mystery as to what it looked like or was, the ACME automatic surfaced in the pages of a magazine I bought a few years ago. Since then I found a couple of adverts for it too - appears to have been peddled door to door 1966 into 1967, then sold...

HOOVER SELECTAMATIC 1100 ... continued Looking through the newspaper archive and searching for both versions of Selectamatic threw up only a handful of instances of it being mentioned and all those times were via adverts for Debenhams. A statement on the Debenhams advert for the A3064...

HOOVER SELECTAMATIC 1100 I recently joined an archive newspaper website, in order to hunt around for some adverts for machines over the decades - my recent postings on the twin tub thread are courtesy of the website. Hundreds and hundreds of adverts later, I found some new information...

Hi all. I have created this thread to act as a bit of a running mate for ChesterMike's excellent twin tub thread. Obviously this thread will be catering for the world of front and top loading laundry (non Twin-tub!), including vintage tumble dryers as well. Please endeavour to keep all twin...

Hi all. Apologies for the quality of the following images - all have been taken from newspaper adverts and might be of interest: GEC Super De Luxe (based on the Philips Top Twin de luxe) FLATLEY Twin Tub ('coming soon' for Christmas 1960 into 61 - this is the only mention I have found of such...

continued ... a D6214 Electron Dryer and D6368 Logic Reversing Dryer E have also been in the collection, but have been passed on to other collectors - the Electron many years ago, while the Logic went to a new home on long term loan just last month. Space, or lack of :-( Paul
