Yep, but due to inflation even though the washers are the same price or cheaper; they certainly aren't up to the same quality as they were 20 years ago :-(.

Rob and Louis,
Thank You both for the information. The "Who's Who" and the pictures gave me a great education and it was interesting to see what was stylish 20 years ago.
Thanks again,
Joe

Rob, I wanna thank you for posting these. Very fascinating to me. I get the sense, as here, so many of these brands have been absorbed through mergers & acquisitions and are no longer "available" just as here. That Neff 5041 looks like a dishwasher. Bob

I have Washer and Dryer catalogues from all-over
I have some unusual items in my washer and dryer literature collection. I DO HAVE many American, and Canadian from the late 50's on. I also have Japanese, British, Dutch, French, German, Australian and NZ catalogs from the mid '70's to the mid '80's. When I last traveled to Europe 1984-1989, and Japan in 1986, I naturally brought back as MANY catalogues and detergents as I possibly could carry. Could you imagine how Heavy my bags were with all that stuff?? Aside from the MANY automobile catalogs AND-another total vice-HEAPS of CD's and records I bought, I ended-up becoming a "two-legged transporter" of my beloved goods!
When I visited South America in 1988, I did NOT bring any appliance catalogs back with me. It seemed that they weren'nt as freely available in stores as elsewhere. Too bad!

Thank you Rob for that last picture. Apparently Electra labeled dryers from several brands, dryer A and B are Philips dryers.
Thanks Lee, but I think American washers and dryers are pretty neat too, especially the older ones.
Jason, you've got to set up a website with all that material. I would love to see some scans of those brochures!!

Electra was the Electricity Board's own brand, and they rebadged from several different manufacturers. They had Hoover, Philips, Creda and Merloni washers and dryers, and Candy, Philips, Zanussi and Merloni for dishwashers. They also rebadged Lec fridges and freezers.
The first machines I remember from my parents were both Electra machines - one a rebadged Hoover 800 with no detergent drawer and a slide switch to unlock the door, and the second a rebadged grey and white Creda much like the 17001 in one of the sets of pictures at the beginning of the thread.

Hey Guys! Thanks for the acknowledgement! I may be "bragging" about my collections, but it IS TRUE what I have here. I must be honest, though, some things I DO NOT YET OWN are my own computer and related hardware, and a digital camera/camcorder. It's gonna sound "stale"(especially since I should've recorded this), but it's SO FREAKIN' EXPENSIVE here in NYC 'burbs! I am lucky I was able to travel years ago. I don't want to alienate any new possible friends with my complaints! I would just love to share my treasures with anyone who's willing to visit me. For now, that's the only way. Cheers! Jay
