Definitely a Blythe Bridge built machine. They never seemed as common as Hotpoint or Hoover, but I did use an Electra badged one in a holiday cottage once. Not sure about the date, but it's probably mid to late 80s.
One of the last proper Creda machines before they started to re-badge Hotpoints. The main thing I remember was it was a pain to change the drum bearings as the front does not come off.
Yes Fido i agree with you regarding the build quality of this Blythe Bridge Creda made machine. I'm well happy with it & i'm so lucky to have come across it & luckily the door parts i need are still available.
looks like a nice Creda there, definitely a late true Creda before a similar design was used on reskinned Hottie's, I think this could be made in January 1991 as it has 191 at the end of the serial number, but once u've restored it, I'll greatly look forward 2 see it in action as I've never really seen 1 working lol
I'd love to be able to find an Electra 11500 model,one can dream lol,your collection is getting quite impressive and I'm looking forward to seeing the creda in action when your door arrives
Excellent!!
And if memory serves,the wash cycle and spins should be almost identical to my Nan's 83 electra 11500,the rinse water level may not be as high! But just the sight of that drum fills me with nostalgia
Hey Craig, just noticed this beauty! I haven't been on here for a while...but really nice to see the Creda Super Speed coming out the wood works. As we've discussed before, these are one my favourite series of machines. What's the update? Did you manage to find the door, etc?
Hass.
PS: If I am correct is was these series of machines that spun anti clock wise...right?
Luckily the door parts i need are still available but are currently on back order. I'm just waiting for the stock to arrive & yes this machine spins anti clock wise. Can't wait to get it up & running & to video it in action.
*drools* Loving the close up of the dial! I shall be waiting with anticipation as you dunno how excited I will be to see this this machine in action! I'm sure your just as excited as I am. I was looking at the thread I did on these machine's yesterday. So glad you got the opportunity to find one Craig, how did you get hold of this beauty?
