" It sure looks like a rebadged Servis/Speed Queen/Simplicity"

Rating plate says "Made in England", so could be....

However one's money is on Hotpoint Supermatic as source of machine.

Am going by lint filter and recirculation system seen on many Hotpoint Supermatic TTs.

Ah ha...

Yes, I agree...I didn't notice the pumped filter spigot. The Speed Queen that I had used a similar agitator mounted lint filter, but it was passive. Meaning that it skimmed the water line to collect "some" lint.

Yes, not so far for me...I am familiar with Puslinch. I am, at present, trying very hard to "diet" my acquisitions!

Tempting though.
 
" I am, at present, trying very hard to "diet" my acquisitions!.."

Go for it I say! We've all been down that lane at one time or another, but sometimes exceptions must be made. *LOL*

This is a rare item. You'll probably hate yourself later for letting it slip out of your hands. Hahahaha.

More so as one says it is in your sandbox so to speak.
 
Nice--what it delight!

Easy Spindriers and Twin-tubs are perennial favorites of mine, so this Launderess find really caught my eye. Do you think this model for sale in Ontario has the rinsing ring? I can't discern any holes circling atop the spinner. Can sharper eyes find them?

Also, it's not a spiralator in there, alas; nevertheless, at two hours away in my favorite foreign country--OH CANADA(singing, now)--would give it a shot if the circle spray were there.
 
" Do you think this model for sale in Ontario has the rinsing ring?"

No, it doesn't.

Going by some soul's long winded and well reasoned critique of HooverLux Restorations use of his Hotpoint Supermatic (last video linked in reply 10), rinsing in spin can wasn't always best way to go.

Same as with Hoovermatics and other TTs many rinsed items in the larger main tub, then put them back into extractor for final spin.

From WhichWasher2007:

 
Well,

I did put a bid on it, but was "sniped" in the last minute. This was the first time I bid on HIBID. I was also bidding on a Babylock serger, but wasn't lucky with that either, even though I placed a rather high bid in the last minute...the website auction told me that the auction was over. Couldn't figure that one out, because the auction timer was still counting down when it told me that.

I could die for you, Guy!

Last one looked there was just the one bid, didn't realize someone came in later.

Wished you had confided in one was bidding then would have advised how HBid goes.

Technically "sniping" is not possible on HBid. Most if not all auctions have what is called in trade "soft closing". This means if another bid comes in during final three or so minutes of auction bidding is extended for another three minutes. This allows other bidders to come forward with a higher number. In practice this will go on until no none else makes a higher bid then auction will wind down those final three minutes and close (going once, gong twice....).

This makes HBid more like a true live or whatever auction compared to say fleaPay. One cannot be "sniped" long as one either bids highest amount willing to pay upfront, and keeps watch over final moments of auction activity.

You can set your preferences on HBid to receive email or text messages alerting that have been outbid so can take necessary action.

Case in point a rare Bernina sewing machine was on HiBid closing this week. Was only half hearted interested and would have bid if thing wasn't going for very much money. There was only a few bidders with top bid at about $30. Until final moments.....

People kept bidding (ok, sniping) in last three minutes but couldn't top previous high bidder as he/she must have put in a huge top number. Bidding jumped from about $30 to $400 then to over $500 and no one topped said previous bidder who won. Looking at bidding history could see that bidder had placed two bids and no one was able to go over his/her top number.

Everything being said above don't know why but many people still wait until final minutes to bid on HiBid auctions. Sometimes they are successful but often due to above they aren't. It only serves to increase final price but snipers still often lose more than win.
 
Looked up that auction and you know I love you more than my luggage Guy, but you left yourself wide open. *LOL*

Next time you're going to place a bid on HiBid and walk away, make it the absolute highest amount you're willing to pay. You were only beat out by one dollar Cdn..

Bernina in question was an 117L, a very rare machine for North America. They're common enough in Europe (especially in Sweden and Germany), but not so much on this side of pond.



Already have a Bernina 930 Record along with a couple of vintage Necchis, a Pfaff, and two Elnas so am spoiled for choice. That's why didn't really go after the 117L. Couldn't seeing possibly paying nearly one grand USD for a machine that likely would spend more time on shelf rather than being used.

"I placed a rather high bid in the last minute...the website auction told me that the auction was over. Couldn't figure that one out, because the auction timer was still counting down when it told me that."

With HiBid's soft close system once activated (by someone bidding within last two or three minutes of auction), subsequent bids (if any) must be made before system starts to close auction.

That is once you see "closing" or clock has timed down to say < one minute, it may not be possible to make another bid.
