Can anyone help with a knob for this hoovermatic I got off ebay? It appears to work fine except the wash timer knob is broken and as half of it is missing there is no chance of repairing it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks fellas Lance If you can help please email me direct...

As you may know I have just sold a MK 2 Servis twin tub. It was working perfectly but the new owner has now got a problem with it. The spinner is causing the electric to trip. Not always but intermittently, having ruled out water getting into the electrics I am not sure what the problem could...

I recently got this , obviously never used , still in the box , old black and red wiring , no moulded plug , I presume it's never had a plug on it. Anyone any idea of date ? Not sure what to do with it as nearly all my twin tubs and wringers also boil!

Just came across this ..... http://www.gumtree.com/p/washing-machines/as-new-never-used-twin-tub-washer-machine/1118237704

Hi all, I have been offered an English electric tumble dryer but I don't want it. They are asking £50.00 for it . It is from the 1960s , in cream with red heat setting switch. If anyone is intrested let me know , I will try and upload a photo later.cheers Lance

Unfortunately no picture of the machine as it's still inside the box where it has spent the last 40 years! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Bendix-7147A-Washing-Machine-/281432739246?pt=UK_Irons_Presses&hash=item4186b2cdae

I do of course realise that a plastic twin tub isn't really vintage but the whole twin tub idea is so I thought you might like to take a look at this Thompson twin tub. Both myself and Ozzie were quiet impressed with the results we got from it. Only 1400 spin but comparable to many automatics...

This poor old thing was beyond repair but I couldn't scrap it. This is the first time in 50 years I have planted anything!

Hi guys, I am visiting Ralf in Germany next month and taking him a Hotpoint Countess. It will need to be laid on its side in the back of the car for about 36 hours. Any tips on what I might do to stop it leaking oil? I have been told that this is a big problem with wringer washers if not kept...

I came across this photo and wondered what model this is. Looks like a superheat, clearly a Servis ,but I have never seen one with a hose on the outside like this one. I think its a gas heated model.

Hi boys , I'm on the scrounge again. I'm not sure what its correct name is but I will call it the filter flow spout / outlet which on my Hotpoint twin tub is very badly corroded. Austin and myself had a go at repairing it but its beyond that point. Would anyone have any idea where I might get...

I left my 12 year old niece with my iPad , she obviously got bored and made this video which I just had to share with you. The first couple you see is me on the left and my godson on the right so I'm not some kind of cougar. Hope you enjoy the video ,I wish I knew how to do this stuff.

Vintage Tide Washing Powder Are we to presume that the white powder inside the box is perhaps not washing powder? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Tide-Washing-Powder-/121209440021

I have just got myself a servis superglide , I have always wanted one so I'm well chuffed. It is obviously going to need some TLC but so far the motor runs , the wringer turns and the rubber hose is in good condition. Downside is the bottom roller on the wringer is in very bad shape although the...

Can anyone help with a pair of rollers for a Hotpoint Countess. The machine is in great working order and I have given it to a collector in Germany but the rollers are buggered. They are blue rubber and have almost turned to powder , so everything you put through them comes out the other side...

Saw this on gumtree , thought someone might be interested . I have never seen inside one of these. What kind of agitator does it use. I would have imported a picture from the advert but I don't know how to do that ! Hope the link works...

I have never seen one of these and it's listed under top loading washer. I have a feeling that the agitator might be missing. Whoever buys it , can I come and look at it when you get it home? Hope the link works...

I got this machine a few weeks ago. It is a very basic machine , no heater but it's nice to have. Austin came over and did a few loads in the Hotpoint Countess followed by rinsing in the ritemp then managed to get it all dry on a beautiful sunny day ( we don't get many of those in England )...

I finally got the Ritemp wringer washer from Preston. It came from an old ladies house , she had bought the machine in 1953 and they gave me the original guarantee. I think she must have smoked 100 bensons a day as the entire house was dripping nicotine. Unfortunately I can't upload photos from...

I don't even know how I came across this vintage appliance collector but have a butchers! http://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/08/01/viscountess-boudicas-domestic-appliances/
