no

i didnt get the logic sadly.will make do with my Hottie for now. He he stainless formula. It said that on my mums Candy. Always wondered what it meant. I saw the valerie singleton record on ebay a few months ago. How to use your bendix lol.

Yes Mike that was the exact machine - cheers for that!

Gizmo - thanks for the fantastic explanation -you write superbly.

Nick - that would be a lovely machine to own, looks in good cond, but can you still get the parts?

The one insane thing about those Candy machines, at least the two machines I used, was that the fabric softener dispenser was a fake - as you poured the conditioner in, it just ran down into the machine straight away - there was no compartment as such with a back to it, only a pretty flap thing over the whole `lie' to deceive you. Ingenious! But not very good. And why, why, why ???!!!

that would explain why mum used to run a seperate rinse and spin cycle after for softener. The drawer had 4 compartments in hers. Pre main softener and bleach. The bleach and softner cover was brown plastic. Well i was explainin to Jon, if i get in uni for next year i wont need my own washer for 4 years. I cant afford the storage as i intend on workin as little as possible. I get a hefty bursary so i want to chanel everything into study. Good career or good washer collection? Tryin to weigh up lol.
