Philips

Dry Iron - I would say early rather than late 1970s

Hand job

Just the thing to tone up those abs for summer beach strolling.

Do I collect small appliances

Chris

Hmmmmmmmm lets think about that one

50+ mixers, about 10 kettles, 10 coffee percolators, 8 toasters, and Lord knows what else I suppose you could say I do.

Not sure whether to laugh or cry at this moment

Fitting Out Kitchens and or Baths

Is this still necessary in much or any part of the UK? Or are things pretty much fitted out when purchased/rented?

 

[aquarius1984]

When purchasing a house in the UK I assume looks around just the same as Americans do and offers as much money as the purchaser deems the house to be worth. THis offer may be accepted or not and thus goes into negotiations.

Kitchens and Bathrooms are usually included in the state they are in at the time of offer but a house does not have to have such fitting by law as it is sold how the buyer deems fit just the same for renovation work - houses are usually cheaper without such fittings.

Renting OTOH is a different kettle of fish. Im not sure theres a law about rentals having to have kitchens fitted, I suppose they dont have to be as a tenant could use free standing benches and tables etc but it is law for a cooker to be installed and provided by the landlord.

Im not so sure that people would pay rent money if there were no bath facilities either.

 

[vacbear58]

Fitting Out

Whilst I am not 1005 sure of the legal requirements, unless a house has a working kitchen sink and bathroom it is deemed as "not habitable" and it is virtually impossible to raise a mortgage or loan on it. And of course people's expectations have got higher and higher over the years - when my last home was built in 1991 (it was at the lower end of the market) it came with a sink drainer, thee wall cupboards, a 20" drawer unit and a smaller single cabinet. Nowadays it would come fully fitted out with almost certainly built in oven, hob and maybe fridge/freezer. Sadly these, along with the cupboards are usually "builders grade" so you know what that means .....

Cannon Classique

Over the last few months I have posted several Carron range cookers, this is the final iteration of that long running (about 25 years) model

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cannon-Classique-Cooker-/171820969424?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

 

[vacbear58]

Another Cannon

This is probably getting on for 50 years old and it does look to be in incredible condition

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281716447149?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[vacbear58]

Jackson Trimline

This is probably about five years older than the previous cooker, shame its not in as good condition. It was only 18 inches wide and its age is also indicated by the hateful solid plates which largely gave way to radiant, spiral rings in the early to mid 1960s

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171818935120?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[vacbear58]

Kenwood Mini

Late model, NIB and not much time to go

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151701973981?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[vacbear58]

Ekco Mixer

Although better known for radios, TVs and the like, Ekco also did market some other appliances like heaters and clearly at least one mixer. This is Philips manufacture but has an open handle unlike the Philips model where it was closed. This mixer was also sold under the Hoover brand

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281714280092?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[vacbear58]

Chefette?

Nonsense - I could use a more "descriptive" word LOLOL

Its a late version of this Philips Mixer around in the late 1970s early 1980s. Actually, its not a bad price

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261915572358?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[vacbear58]

Magimix

One of the first food processors on sale in this country

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331574979640?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[vacbear58]

And my favourite Mixmaster

The Model 10 - there are not that many of these show up either. Also it stil seems nice and white

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121672074957?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[vacbear58]

Spinarinse

later model and, I think, only 1400rpm spin. I believe it was built in December 1989

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291485392268?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[vacbear58]

NOT a Spinarinse

But a gravity drain spin dryer. It could he a project but the price is right

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261920898580?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[vacbear58]

Another project

Although I suspect that it is a great deal better than it looks as the wash tub is nice and shiny. And again the price is right

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321777683918?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[vacbear58]

Samsung

Not maybe a classic but a bit of a novelty in this country

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAMSUNG-T...122125356&meid=20997c9faac547728ef2713b09ced2

 

[vacbear58]

Hotpoint

There are a lot of well priced machines at the moment. This is a nice accompaniment to Paul's current Hotpoint thread

Toploader

It surprises me how many of these make their way over to the UK, just wish it was a bit closer to home
