Looks AMAZING Anthony. One question, I see controls for a heater but do not see an element in the tub? Wishing you many happy washdays :)

Thank you Robert For all the hard work you have done bringing these communities together and giving us a platform to exchange knowledge and experiences. I wish you a very long and happy retirement and would second Mike's sentiment that we would love to see you on this side of the pond very...

Parnall You are doing an incredible job on this old Parnall washer Anthony, you would hardly know it as the same machine :)

Superjet Hello Christopher, from Sutton In Ashfield :) It is simply wonderful that you are still using a Hoover Superjet, I have one myself. I also love that it seems to be in a 1970s kitchen :) Give Gordon from Vacuum Exchange in Edinburgh a ring, I know he has some Hoover Autojet/Superjet...

Brilliant, thank you

Robert Your work is an inspiration to us all to find new ways to keep these wonderful old machines working

Thanks for sharing another great video, they are a wonderful part of washer history

Unimatic What a great video, inventive and informative, one of the very best

Although it seems very high my guess is that its a food and plate warming cabinet - not so much for heating food up as keeping it warm once its cooked. We had a couple of versions here in the UK, the Belling company produced something rather like this but far and away most popular was the...

La-z-boy That reminds me od Dabney Coleman's chair in the film Nine to Five

@ Laundress I note from the extensive catalogue you linked to over in the Super forum which you said was printed in 1948 and features the AW6 automatic washer still shows wringers but no twin tubs so maybe they were not around for that long

Wonderful restoration

GE Twin Tub The attached film from WW2 provides good watching. Seems to be all GE appliances but particularly at about 6.30 in there is a twin tub. Certainly looks like an Easy to my uneducated eye but it may have been "badged" by GE

This popped up in my YouTube feed. It says circa 1950 but I think it might be somewhat later, maybe 1954 or 1955? No matter, there are some very interesting ideas and appliances shown.

As I recall the Persil came from Amazon itself rather than a retailer.

Persil Colour Powder I agree that Persil Colour Powder seems to have gone from the supermarkets in UK, and indeed there are not many other brands of Colour powder either, as I saw was Aldi's own brand. I was able to get some from Amazon though at a reasonable price for a pack of four boxes, I...

New World Its a Creda, although it started out life as the Parnall Autodry in around 1967. Interesting to see the Hoover dryer hinged on the right, over here they were usually hinged on the left

Service Manual At the top of the screen, under the main banner, is a link "Manuals And Literature" which is supplied by the owner of this site. There are serach boxes to take you to the manual you need, there will be a modest charge to allow you to access and download it. Good luck!

This video came up in my YouTube feed which I thought you might enjoy. Be sure to read the caption at the start of the video, captions have been added during the video, presumeably added in editing, to update the sound track.

Scotland You could well have seen freezers made in Scotland. It appears that in 1972 Scots company called Norfrost was established, manufacturing a couple of small size chest freezers. I think they might have had an upright freezer too but that was just their name put on an Italian made unit...
