Hoover 06xx series Picture of one vintage newspaper advertising of the then-new Hoover twin tub machine (incl. sale price of the period) !

Found (luckily) late in Oct. 2018 through a seller on Kijiji: Original manual for the Hoov mod. 0610 twin tub washing machine (Hamilton, Ont., Canada). Interesting the fact that the date of purchase was penned by the initial owner: July 14 1967 ! ...Never seen one of those users guides for...

That is impressive ... ... And, btw, I like that 'fifties-blue' agitator which has an especially cool vintage look to it.

... Clean ?? ... And, 'excellent condition' (quote) ?? Also, only God knows what happened to the red and silver 'Hoover' metallic logo (apparently missing -- which makes the price drop quite a bit more) IMHO, definitely too high the asking price given the overall condition '...Which was in...

Hey ! Hello Christina ! Hope you're doing well. : ) Just thought i'd share this cool tune at this time, autumn on the edge of winter (its already winter here (eastern Canada), in advance...) And, for what its worth, the lyrics some kind of 'fit' with vintage wash (laundry) day reminiscence...

If only ... ... one would be able to travel back in the past ! I too remember K-Mart, as well as the earlier S.S. Kresge chain stores... ...Oh! Also Woolco and Woolworth !! ...And a plethora of (lost) local stores ! And now Sears going to a close (Simpsons-Sears): another page to be...

Yes, barcoboy, too bad, indeed ! Sure it would have been a cool new acquisition. You're right regarding the Hoov pump: -- prudence ! Oh, yes, man... Last year I nearly found that very vintage Hitachi twinnie, almost like new and not too expensive, but the seller found no possibility for a...

Hey barcoboy (Todd) ! How are you doing? Great find, that machine sure is a beauty, if only the asking price ... Maybe around 150 instead of 225 would have been 'reasonable' Those Kenmores (then probably sold by Sears) were good machines, solidly built. Do you still have the lil' Hoov...

Very nice machine Brad, congrats. Tt looks great ! To see things such as this encourages myself, vis-a-vis my antique Hoover wringer project for 2019

Congrats, Paul (Turquoisedude), for all your endeavours! Hope the results will be to your satisfaction, and that you'll be able to enjoy many washdays to come with one of those legendary machines still operating--after so many years it is always nothing short of a little miracle. I have in mind...

Thank ya all ! ... Let's not forget the little 'twin tub' : This year, additionally, got me a couple of those NEW *MINI* TWINNIES I referred to in another thread. One as a spare, in regards to my small loads machine in use, and yet an other I intend to keep as one BNIB -'mint'- appliance...

Hi everyone As a Hoover enthusiast, found something close to the 'holy grail' - maybe Bought last sunday (july 22) through Kijiji. Paid 30 bucks for it. Probably still the ultimate piece of memorabilia regarding Hoover washers... Hoover Model 0306 - (pretty much the same as U.K.'s Model...

Thank you, Christina Yes, Christina, had to let go the fantastic Simp ...and one of my Hoovers! No less. And, btw, in the past i would have never considered the acquisition of one of those 'nasty plastic twin tubs' about which i think i had misjudgements. For sure, i was reluctant at first...

A couple of things I've noted: The motors for those new twinnies (at least in the case of mine's) look of very good quality, just as does the internal wiring. The spin motor, which is direct drive, sits on three large rubber mounts that remind strongly of the ones used under the spin motor...

Rick (arbilab), Thank you. Seems many of us have fond memories in connexion with one or another of the many twin tub machines used by mom, grand ma, the aunt or the cousin of our childhood. Yes, indeed, see what you mean, a now vintage Panasonic--which was part of the 'japanese invasion' of...

Oh, Christina ! Hope you're doing great ... Thanks for the comments and, btw, found your Frigidaire 1-18 washer affair very interesting (thread from 2017) Unfortunately, (believe it or not) I no longer have the Simp ! Sold to a very kind couple last year--sadly I had to depart from the great...
