That would be nice if you can get a copy of the instructions Keith, they would be interesting to read. I've always wondered what these would be like as they seemed to get varied reports. Ian

Supermatic/Liberator Keith, the 1420 had the 'cotton reel' too, the spinner hose should hook round it. Could that 75 in the serial number be a Hotpoint date code? Working backwards from 02 being Feb 70 and on the theory that they only went up to 96 would this make it March 1968? Or is that a...

Very true, I'd love to see a 1420 again, although I suppose Mums would probably have been a 1421 as it was unheated. Here's the article.

Liberator Twin Mike/Keith The Liberator Twin was introduced in January 1966. There is a piece for the launch in English Electric and Its People for this month giving details of the new machine. It gives spin speed of 2850rpm which I guess is the same as the 1420, were the 1400s the same...

Every Day's A Summers Day!

That's an interesting picture Paul, I'm guessing that's the unheated Supertwin as it doesn't have the thermometer dial. But isn't that light between the controls a heater 'on' light? I wonder if its a touched up picture and someone missed a bit? Ian

Numbers Hi Paul Done some shuffling about. It is indeed a Mk19, serial number 19WM98340. Hope that helps Ian

Superheat Paul It's buried behind two wringers, two twin tubs and a dishwasher in the dining room! I'll dig it out for you at the weekend and let you know. Cheers Ian

That's an interesting brochure Louis, I didn't know that Acme had a twin speed wringer washer as well as the twin tub Ian

Thanks for another great thread Mike, it was great to be involved with all this. I like the look of that Miele Combinette too, I would happily have one of those if we'd had them in the UK. Ian

Here you got Peter. The Superheat with a matching friend. They are both Red and Cream. Ian

Dolly Mixture I thought I'd seen that 1300 somewhere before! Lol. Ian

Slightly Off Topic Hi Peter Welcome.I've owned Dolomites for about twenty six years now. Just had a look for a pic of the current one and this is about the best I can do, a 1973 Honeysuckle 1850. Ian

Loving all this twin tub stuff. A few thoughts, some perhaps somewhat fanciful! Could the Scales Double Spin be masquerading as the Brunlec 47? Which reports that the Brunlec had a gravity drain spinner and there doesn't seem to be many others mentioned. What's the wash action on the Acme like...

Artistic Licence Could that be a little artistic licence in Steve's reply no 69, picture 4 showing the wonderfully clean water running out into the sink. I fear someone was just pumping clean water from the wash tub as it looks like the wash drain plug is pulled. Me, cynical? Never Loving this...

Top Twin Mathew The advert I have for your Top Twin is in a 1967 magazine so it must have run from sometime around then to 1969. I wonder if it did have the ball valve on the wash hose, looking at the picture Keith has posted it looks like the suds return hole is still in the same place in the...

Stunning Darren You should be so proud of what you have achieved here, the results are amazing. Its great to see everything now in place and completed. Ian

Thanks To Al for his hospitality over the weekend its always good to get together at these events. And thanks to Mike for documenting it in these threads, to be able to go back and relive moments like this makes it even more special. Ian

Servis Spin Can Steve That spin can looks like one I've seen in a Mk44 gravity drain spinner. Ian

Another Great Thread Thanks Mike, it looks like you had a great weekend. I do have serious garden envy though! Looking at the pics of the Ariston is the outer spin can a slightly modified wash tub? In reply 12 it seems to have the same pressed in ridge near the top that usually acts as the...
