600 Series 1
These were the second series of the big Hoover top loaders, after the 500 series.
As mentioned in an earlier posting, my parents bought a new *525 top loader in 1973, which was the origin of my interest in washers. The 500s were handsome machines and I preferred them over the 600s, where the plastic control panels were, well, plasticy.
The top model in the 500s was the 585, and there appears to be no equivalent in the 600s.
The Hoover 585, along with the Simpson 'Fabulous 89', were mythical top model Australian machines, discussed in hushed tones. Very few people have ever seen them. They are of legend. Hehe.
*The 525 they bought in 1973 is not to be confused with the 525 front loader they bought in 1991. A few Hoover model numbers overlapped, though they were separated by nearly 20 years.
This brochure is 141mm x 190mm.
