That is very like mine Louis only mine has a thermostatic heater control. The vertical strip on the left shows the water level in the tub

Miele What a great find, at least you captured the pictures :) I have a Miele H axis semi automatic machine awaiting restoration which has several styling cues from this machine. The H axis is side to side rather than front to back and does not have a spin

Tricity Which Tricity did you get? Pictures please. You do realise that Tricity and Moffat were part of the same group of companies and they may have been built in the same factory. The Moffat Fiesta 21 is based on the 21 inch Tricity cooker template

Painting I have had success with a car body shop in getting washing machines repainted but it might not work so well with an appliance which may get quite hot. With Christmas coming next week you may get a chance to give the oven a good work out and test how hot the side panels get - an infra...

Moffat In the mid 70s the top compartment was changed to have a full thermostatic control and a white ceramic hob option on the de luxe model. Sadly, by 1980 the market for that style of cooker had declined significantly and there was a Jackson/Creda model which offered similar facilities at...

Moffat Now, back to the Moffat cooker in the original posting. This was the standard model, is approximately 50 years old. There was also a deluxe model, again with roastmeter. From the specifications shown in the brochure below the warming drawer element is 400 watts . The advice from...

Moffat Towards the end of the 1960s the Moffat brand had been absorbed into the Thorn group and manufacture began in the UK. The main difference was in the ovens which now had the customary elements mounted on the sides of the oven, behind the oven walls. The 30 inch model had now been dropped...

Moffat The resemblance to the cooker shown in the opening post can be seen here although still of Canadian manufacture as can be seen by the element in the bottom of the oven - apologies for the quality of the pictures which were taken from an ebay listing

Mid 1960s By the mid 1960s the range was consolidated into 30 and 24" models. The split level unit was also widely seen in upmarket kitchens although there was competition in the split level units from Creda, Tricity, English Electric and Jackson (also a Canadian import). In the Luxury floor...

Eye Level There was even a Flair/Tappen style unit

Moffat I have seen Moffat cookers in publications in the immediate pre and post WW2 publications. It is not clear to me where they might have been manufactured as the post war model looks decidedly old fashioned and like something from the 1930s. Not much more is seen until the late 1950s when...

It will be interesting to see a bit more of this dishwasher - being GEC one would expect some sort of British connection but its not like anything I have seen before. GEC did have a dishwasher in the early 1960s but it was top loading and looked like a GE MobileMaid

It was called Maytag Satellite in UK and possibly Europe as Hoover US did not have the rights to the Hoover name and possibly Constellation as they belonged to Candy at the time. It was similar to the one posted by Eddie above. The hose connection is completely different and the hose itself was...

Adaptor That adaptor is to connect older style hoses to the Portapower not attachments - these would date back to the 1960s. As MattL says, much better to have a new hose made up to fit on the old Constellation ends - you may find an old style hose on ebay but if not make sure a new lightweight...

Miele washer dryer I think you are right - get this installed at home where you can use and appreciate it and replace it with something cheap and cheerful like a Beko for your rental property

One more here for keeping the Bosch. You will not gain a lot of storage space with the single Dish drawer and a full size dishwasher will be far more use. It is so helpful when entertaining, I have two full size dishwashers in my kitchen and honestly I am not sure I could ever go back to one.

G646 I bought one similar on sale, December 2002. After having a rest for a few of years it is in regular use once again. The UK version would be slightly different as our 13Amp sockets could not cope with 3.3KW loading. It always performed well for me Al

More bread I have also made these dinner rolls - more work but again well worth it. The recipe calls for 347g of white bread flour - I now use 100g white flour and 247g wholemeal flour - again the recipe if on the link below https://www.joyofbaking.com/breads/SoftDinnerRolls.html

Bread Recently in the UK quite a lot of attention is being given to what is termed Ultra Processed Foods (UPF) which refers to chemicals added to cheap ingredients to make the finished product more palatable. "Healthy" or Low fat options are often culprits here and of course the UK has a huge...

Mixers Well spotted Pete, I too had a Moulinex Multichef which I bought circa 1983 which gave sterling service until about 1996 when it gave up the ghost as I was using it to crush some ice. The box in Reply 3 actually contains a NIB Multichef which I am planning to bring into service soon (but...
