Classic UK Appliances & Kitchens - March 2015

[vacbear58]

March already!

Ok, lets kick off with an item that appears in these threads fairly often - a S/S Tricity oven. These appear so regularly that they much have been one of the most popular built in cookers of their time.

It so happens were will be able to trace the development of the same model over about 10 years of so. So, we start with the earliest - it says 1970s, it could actually be late 1960s as well

And now mid 1970s

Actually this is a later version of this particular variations as the oven temperatures are in centigrade. Note the grill handle is now full width and the timer is swopped around and push buttons for oven light and rotisserie. When I look back at the white Tricity oven I posted a week or so ago it indicates yet another iteration between this listing and the last, with push buttons but conventional clock timer and temperatures in Fahrenheit.

And on to late 1970s

Much the same as the last but new style knobs. Look how the ventilation grills are much larger, I suspect this was to make it match 120cm height module rather than an old imperial size. It also shows a return to toggle switches last seen on the single oven version contemporary with the double at the start of the thread

NIB Moffat/Cannon

regular readers might have noticed that I don't generally re-list items, however I make no apologies for re-listing it again, the price has dropped considerably and it is new-in-box. All gas of course.

From the same seller as the last Tricity above

Credaplan Hob - this looks like it has given long service but then it could be up to 40 years old. Actually I suspect that it is older than the Tricity which seems in much better shape. This hob is my favourite of all radiant ring hobs - mind you I would have expected a dual ring on something like this

Still with Creda

A 1980s Carefree, looks like conventional oven

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

And a Belling equivalent

probably about the same age as the Creda - seems clean too

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

And now far something far more TOL

A Moffat Fiesta 21.

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

Later gas Moffat

Late 1980s and an indication of how this great company had been brought low - these were also sold as Parkinson Cowan

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

Early 1960s Kitchen

And it shows.

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

late 1970s

This is much more to my taste, and actually I am quite tempted although I don't really have the time to deal with it right now

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

And a general call to readers

Pickings seem somewhat slim at the moment on my somewhat random searches so if anyone sees something they think will be of interest please post to the thread

 

[vacbear58]

Spinarinse

Early 1980s vintage I would say and looks in nice condition

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

Speaking of Spin Dryers

here is a Belling which I assume is a badged Creda

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

Miele Washer

This is from the same seller that has the Miele Dishwasher similar to the one I bought, I wonder did they have my holy grail washer at one time too?

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

And now let us travel

to the land of the deluded. In nice condition for nearly 40 years old but not £400 nice, well not in my book anyway

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

Similar if not quite as bad

This one is probably over 40 years old, but still not worth the money

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

Logic Dryer

This is a more sensible price

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

Westinghouse Top Loader

This seems to have an unusual control panel and of course is a rarity over here

Pardon our interruption...
