I don't know exactly what part you mean. Is it visible in this video?
I will have to ask a friend, I'm not a very technical skilled person.

No, that machines dosen't have it any longer. What I'm talking about can be seen here starting at 4:40. The camera points at it around 4:49. I think he next model had that thing too.
I will ad a commerical too.
But why this "Bauknecht" had 2 portholes?

2 x portholes
Do you mean door seals ?
The bolt down machines just have 2 rubber seals that press together when the door is closed as the tub doesn't move you do not need a moving seal.
Non bolt down that have springs and tensioners need a door boot to seal the moving tub to the stationary one this boot moves with the tub.
Hope this helps ?
Also the older machines had a soap hopper on the top of the cabinet to allow you to add powder etc these then moved on to become soap drawers in newer machines. Although some newer machines which are commercial laundry items they still had soap hoppers.

That rubber thing at the back sticking out high, looks like a vent to me.

Sorry, I made a mistake. "Bauknecht" 505 haves 2 doors.
As for the "Constructa", I made a circle around that pice that puzzles me.

Hey everyone! Just found this thread, very interesting info.
Here I have this really rare General Electric front loader. Pretty sure it was made in Europe, but i couldn't find any information about this one.
Anything you might know will help!

Here is a small top-loading upo washing machine made in Finland in 1975

That's a very nice compact washing machine. And in colour too! Upo was a Finnish brand IIRC, unfortunately later bought up by Antonio Merloni I think.
Unfortunately your link isn't working. Is it on a Finnish auction site?

" Letting a machine run like that without bolting it to the floor should be a deadly sin!"
Hi Louis, I have to correct you in that. Those old Indesit machines were not supposed to be bolted at all. They where made with a tub fixed to the outer casing and they had no suspension. They were made instand on casters on the bottom.
They were meant to "float" on the flor during the spin cycle like for example the old legendary small Rex toploader P5 (or Naonis) or the Eudora washers.

Does anyone know about those Wyss Mirella washing machines, papa had such a Wyss Mirella wascator schulthess or Osby Swedish washing machine in the barn, I'm interested in finding out about that Wyss Mirella, there hasn't been any information, I'd be interested to see the cover plate removed from the Wyss Mirella washing machine, as I remember, it has relays and that program selector, unfortunately the barn doesn't have these anymore the memories are that Wyss Mirella universal 61 is familiar in structure, I remember it and that schulthess
