Hi Peter. I had a look on YouTube and the closest I can find to your machine is a German collectors AEG Lavamat Perfect 800, filmed 7 years ago. Hopefully the machine is still preserved - pesky capacitor blows at the end of the video. Looks to be an updated version of the machine you had, with...

Correction Instead of Rapide De Luxe, I should have said Concorde ...

A couple of questions .... The SCHARPF machines mentioned on the cover of Keith's copy of 'Switch On!' earlier in the thread - were those machines ever released into the UK market, or was it a case of you can look, but you can't touch? Also, a name I have heard of over the years, but I have...

Hi Chris Thanks for the 1999 catalogue page, showing the servis retro tub and the final hotpoint 9404. I too have both those models being sold into 1999 - I wonder if they made it into 2000? Paul

and a quick Philips update .... Following on from the earlier discussion on Philips models, I found a photo (albeit a line drawing) of what is model HN3206, which appears on the scene in 1970 and shows better the dial cover arrangement. A previously uploaded image I think is the HN3207 from...

Some quick additons ... Mentioned earlier n the thread was the Colston autoplus. There were possibly three versions of this: 1st dating from 1967 and running through till 1970, then model '2301' running from 1970 to 1973 - I don't know if these are one and the same models? 1970 seems to have...

Hi all. I remember visiting the KAYS catalogue archive many years ago and first seeing the ACME Challenge machines - so bright and vibrant and a real shame that one has not surfaced yet. There appear to have been at least 5 variants of Challenge twin tubs sold from 1963 through to early 1969...

Some bigger pictures from the 1961 report. The GOBLIN is image 10 - this the one you were referring to Nigel? and Louis' STOKVIS is image 9. Paul

1979 Ideal Home Tub report Some late 1970's offerings ...

1961 Ideal Home Laundry Report I just hope it is legible - fingers crossed. A number of autos to start with, but loads of twin tubs and spinners dotted throughout the pages, including the Erres that Louis posted the brochure for earlier in the thread - sold as STOKVIS in the UK. Including the...

and a handful more, including the ratings plate - so good that a handful of these early Philips Twin tubs have been saved ….

Wonderful thread you have started Mike! Really enjoying reading and catching up with its development over the last few days. Thanks for posting the Erres Twin Tub brochure, Louis - I wonder if we had a clone of that machine in the UK, where there were seemingly a large number of machines...

and a couple of images of the Philips EA5402 ...

Hi all. Just a bit of info about what I think was the final Philips twin tub sold in the UK - the AAC870. Always liked the blue styling accents - very smart. Great thread! Paul

Hi Darren. Absolutely wonderful! Ooozes atmosphere and your restorations are superb - the bolt downs and Parnall's look in fabulous condition and your whole set up is a testament to the hard work put into the project. Lovely that you have an operational LT - there were a couple of those...

Date code 05 Hi Matthew. Yours is an early one, from May 1986 - production started in April 1986. Paul

Hi Matthew. The photo is from way back when a 95620 was repaired, by Mathew, Rob and myself - photo is the one from the 95620 thread that I created at the time. Exactly as Gizmo and Mathew describe. As has been said before, Hotpoint 95's are full of sharp edges - if the bearings are still...

Hi Craig. I would also agree that they are/were an excellent range of machines and I have always been attracted by the smart, clean and sharp styling. Number of times I have been tempted by the Hydrosensor WFP3300 or an Aquatech WFP3201 (image below) when they have been on ebay and then been...

Hi Steve. For some reason, I haven't any photos of my 1828/02 from the back forwards - most of my 'in a state of undress' photos of it are through the fascia to the back. Have attached a group of them below for your perusal. Enjoy! Paul

I've just noticed that you already have the plastic stacking kit side trims - sorry for all my unnecessary waffle above, Steve. Might have a spare dryer kickplate cover and possibly brackets, but don't know for sure - will keep an eye out when shed space permits. Paul
