Hi Paul

I'm not going to bid on the Hottie and Gary is right Stanmore isn't too bad to get to. It's quite a nice part of London, I believe!

I hope whomever got the 3110 is not disappointed, it looked a great machine, just a bit far from me. I'm not surprised it went for over £200. I think vintage machines are getting more expensive these days. They must have really wanted it!

Old Zanussi

`18 years old but never put a foor wrong in all that time'

Why doesn't that surpise me. What fantastic machines these really were.

The seller appears genuine, if only it were a little more local! I don't know if this is a carbon brush or induction machine, I find it hard to tell with these models, as Zanussi made both types of machines which looked like that. Having used and owned both types, they're both fine machines but I prefer the induction models.

Perhaps one of our learned friends would know the motor system this machine has?

Soz Nick - the FL811 induction or brush is a mystery to me too.

anyone know?

p.s still in turmoil over that 17760 (it is a 17760 not a 17660). what to do?
 
I seem to have answered my own question. The FL511 is a 500rpm machine. According to Electrolux Distriparts the 500rpm motor fits both the Z9151 and FL511.

Tom
 
The ebay offering certainly looks like an FL811 to me after looking at the instruction book. I wasnt aware that Zanussi were still selling 500rpm machines in the UK as late into the eighties as they were produced.

The mind boggles!
 
The FL511 has an identical fascia to the FL811.

The link below shows an exploded diagram and parts listing for the FL511, FL811 and FL812 machines. The FL811 and FL812 list the part number for a 800rpm motor, the FL511 shows the part number for a 500rpm motor.

A quick search on www.partmaster.co.uk for that part number '50097610005' shows that this fits the Z9151 and FL511. I know for definite the Z9151 was 500rpm.

If anyone needs anymore proof I'll find some more evidence!

Tom...

The links you have supplied are most enlightening - thank you.

It's the first time I've seen a lower spin speed model of that era - not that there is any visual difference. The vast majority I've seen have usually been 800rpm machines. :-)

The lower spin speed has most likely contributed to the lengthy trouble free service the machine has delivered as the current owner states.

If only I had the room for it!

500 Spin

Hi Tom,
The wiring diagram you linked to definitely shows a two speed Motor setup, 800 and 1000 Spin models have a three speed Motor.

I hope this helps.

Hi David,
Thanks for the help with the wiring diagram, not one of my strong points I'm afraid.

So 500rpm FL511 it is then, a rarity for sure.

Tom
