ATTENTION unclejohn!

Hey unclejohn, I just found this on Kijiji this morning... is this the Hitatchi washer you've been looking for?

Thanks, barcoboy!

Nope, unfortunately ...

The particular model I'd like to get is quite old, ca 1970-75

The one on kijiji seems somewhat recent looks more plastic or something, whereas the old model was all-metal (including the nice little lids, surrounded as i can remember by a thin gray-colored rubber 'gasket')

Thanks again {) (I do not despair, but know it is rare)

I'm also looking to find the very old Hoover twinnie my mom had - model 0500 produced circa 1965 (as much as old as I !!)

The two ''improbable'' finds:

1) Pic of exactly the Hoov model, #0500 (mid-1960s)

a n d . . .

2) Pic of one Hitachi twinnie very reminiscent to what my grandma had - model unknown (produced in Japan, early 1970s)

OK, I'll keep on keeping on looking!
