Ebay November

[matchboxpaul]

a difficult decision to be made!

The only version of Hotpoint 17/18 series machines, that we dont own yet, are the silver faciad ones.

Working out what we own already, the ideal machines to plug this gap would be a silver faciad variable or microtronic and a siver faciad sodding reversomatic!!!!!!!! argggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh why does it have to be so far away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to have to think long and hard about whether I can tolerate a drive pretty much all the way to London.

Flippin heck - if the seller sees this post, take it from me, dont go posting any dodgy bids assuming I will bid.

Decisons, decisions.
Paul & Rob
p.s i always thought this machine was a 17760 not a 17660 - the 660 has a 2 tone silver facia whilst the 760 has a brown and silver facia. intrigued.

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...

Think the model number is a digit out but it looks in fine condition.

Pardon our interruption...

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?

and some more...

Creda Compact

Pardon our interruption...

 

[matchboxpaul]

You dont see a 9549X machine for years....

and then one of each pops up in the same month!

see the 95492 earlier in the thread.

below is the 95490 - sidestrips intact too!

Pardon our interruption...

 

[matchboxpaul]

all a bit hotpointy at the moment.

a 9324...

Pardon our interruption...

 

[matchboxpaul]

appears that Cheshire is clearing out its 9324's, as here is another one...

Pardon our interruption...

 

[matchboxpaul]

Now this is the only version or proper Hotpoint compact that me and Rob dont own.

we have a rear venting 17 series
a front venting 17 series
a low heat/high heat switched new/next gen style one

and here is the missing one:

A hotpoint 9303 (new/next gen style with no heat option)...

Pardon our interruption...

 

[matchboxpaul]

a different brand now...

Philips D153 - obviously a very popular dryer, even today judging by the price going to be paid...

Pardon our interruption...

 

[matchboxpaul]

and finally

finsihes in a couple of hours, but posted so there is a record of it.

a superb condition, blue tinge faciad, electra dryer.

when me and rob have the space, we will be looking out for a matching pair of these...

Pardon our interruption...

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

anyone know?
paul
p.s still in turmoil over that 17760 (it is a 17760 not a 17660). what to do?

 

[hotpoint9534]

FL511

The FL511 is a perfectly valid model number. This model, the FL811 and FL812 machines do have the induction motor.

Now, is this a 500rpm or a 800rpm machine. The grey version of the 500rpm Z9151 washcraft perhaps?

A link to the FL511 timer diagram can be found in the link.

[hotpoint9534]

I meant to say the link can be found below, sorry.

 

[hotpoint9534]

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

 

[sajid6952]

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!

 

[hotpoint9534]

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.
