A Bauknecht, according to Louis' scans, dating to the late 70's or early 80's. Someone must have privately imported this. Just bought this off Craigslist. 220 Volt, cold water intake only.
A Bauknecht in Canada?

Great machine Edward
as a nipper, I always loved these machines. The styling looks really smart (in my opinion) and I am on the lookout for one of them in the UK.
c'mon Ebay UK - work your magic!
Cheers for posting the pic.

220V-60 Hz or 220V-50 Hz?
Eddy, have you checked the rating plate to verify if this is a 60 Hz or 50 Hz unit?

Eddy's model WA709SC is almost similar to the WA712SC in this brochure. The only difference would be the 95 degrees button which was added later for energy efficiency reasons. The highest temperature that you could choose on the timer was 60*C, for a boil wash you would have to especially push the 95 button. It was Bauknecht's alternative for the "E" buttons that appeared on lots of machines.
The TRA350 and TRA410 are dryers based on Zanussi models. The TRA350 is also similar to the Speed Queen compact dryer that you can see in pictures of the Speed Queen twintub. This dryer however has a plastic see though door while the Speed Queen had a solid square door.

Thank you Louis!
Those are wonderful scans. I checked on the hz rating like Emilio asked of my machine and it says 60 hz which surprised me. Maybe this model was made for export? Yet there is no English at all on it and all the rating info is in German. The plug also has been modified with one that fits the North American 220V outlet.
Jon: I think I caught the front loader fever from you. I have 5 now including an old Neptune. Oddly enough I've been dreaming of boots lately ;-))

Perhaps your machine was made for the South American market. Some countries have rather big German communities, perhaps the machine was built for that market. And it might have come to Canada when the owner moved there. Just speculations though, but it's a possibility.

Westinghouse in Oz??
I seem to rememember a machine that looked very similar in Australia in the seventies. In particular, the control dial with the coloured program progress indications visible from the front. Westinghouse? Can anyone confirm?
We also had Simpson dishwashers in late 70's that were made in Germany (Bosch?), so having a machine with a familiar "local" brand that came from overseas was starting to happen even back then.

Bosch Simpson
That is a great looking machine.
Michael's mother has a Simpson Bosch from 76 that has never been used. It has a plastic tub and is most unlike any Australian Dishwasher from that era.
Its doorseals are all crumbley, and the parts are incredibley expensive. One day I might get around to it.
