I've just posted a new video about an automatic washer from 1967 with a glass lid (an H-axis washer):drum (opening and closing), selection of programs, fill, wash, drain and spin, use of push buttons. I hope you'll enjoye (video of www.lamachinealaver.com) See you. bert

Funguy,
How about trying a "please" or "I"m sorry, but I can"t find...could you help me?" for a change? You are so rude at times that your age can not excuse your behavior.
People of your age group are otherwise willing and able to apply some ingenuity towards finding information, I daresay the URL should have been sufficient to point you in the right direction.
Thanks for the video - I love watching H-Axis machines!

Love the Dyson and all the other videos, thanks for posting.
Check his age and you'll know why....

There are other
young and younger people in this group. They all manage to exercise restraint.
Don't misunderstand me, please. Funguy has some good things to say and his contributions are frequently worth reading.
If anyone around here has reason for remorse because of his temperament, it is me - I'd just like to see him learn to use his manners a bit.

Hello Bert,
Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing it with us. That Brand Statomatic is a wonderful machine. I recognized the sound of the pump, a friend of mine had a Brandt washer/dryer in the past, it had the same sound.
BTW, can you tell me what the pushbuttons are for? I assume the read light burns when the heater is on? The sliding lid was a surprise, I had expected two flaps like on modern machines.
Merci beaucoup!
Louis

buttons
Hello Louis
- there 2 lights: the lower lights when the machine is filling, the higher when heat is on;
- the pushbuttons:
the red one is stop
The, you have:
- "marche" = on button;
- "fragile" = delicates : wash with high lewel of water and soak longer than agitation; no spin; no drum rotation when the machine is draining; during the fillings, drum rotation when the low level is reached;
- "synthétique" = permanent press: wash with high lewel of water, agitation longer than soak; no spin but with drum rotation when the machine drains;
- "essorage" = spin = cotton: wash with low level of water, agitation longer than soak; spin after each rinse and final long spin (8 minutes).
Rinses are always with hig level of water.
See you.

Merveilleuse...
Thank you so much Bert! You're indeed doing a wonderful work sharing the videos with us...
Double lamp - So now I understand where Mr Borghi (Ignis foundator) find it! It lasted until seventies model this feature, the "brighter" (green or yellow) was generally for ON, and the "darker" (red) was for HEATING phase
Double pushbuttons - This either was on Superautomatica...red to stop and black to start
Cycles - As you describe the cycles they reallly seems to be like the sixties standard...
The sliding drum lid I heard was not the best solution... infact then they've been disappearing...now two flap drum lids are the common using
Anyway now I understand how it works
A question for you now:
does the machine fill in a dispenser or the filling spray direcetly onto the drum?
GREAT!

hello Diomède,
During filling, the water comes in the dispenser, which is at the front of the drum (see also in my gallery).
That's why there is a lamp that lights during filling.
In programs with prewash you must:
1) Start;
2) When the light goes out:
- put detergent for the prewash on the drum;
- put detergent for the wash in the dispenser where it was kept until the beginning of the wash.
3)close the lid: then, you do not have to intervene.

E là...
so guys you have ONE detergent dispenser ONLY to use for both prewash and main wash but IN SEQUNCE...
So the same would be used for the fabric softner after the main wash detergent has been flushed away...
What about the spin speed? It seems slow...
I see only one Vedette just like this Brandt with the galssed lid in my life when I was in Nice...it was wonderful to see all those drops onto the glass specially during the heating phase like durint the spin.

knobs...
Sorry but I can't understand what the other than the timer knob is for..maybe for the temperatures!?
Could you please post a pic of the two knobs to see them...the cycle on timer is only one, there aren't I suppose two sectors tiwh an inter-stop...
THAKyou Bert...

You'll have a video during spin and heating very sonn. You see, it's very funny, above all when it's boiling (100°C).
For softner, you select a new program after the wash (one rinse and spin)or, if you're here, you put it on the drum when the timer indicates the last rinse and the lamp lights.
The spin speed was very low (300 tours/min).
Now one question that I have never been able to answer: why there is a lamp during heating, since the thermostat stops heat when the temperature is selected? In advance, thank you if you have the answer!

Wonderful to hear more of this machine. The only thing that I find odd is that the syntetics are washed a high water level. Later permanent press cycles all had a low water level in the wash. Does this cycle have a cool down at the end of the cycle?
Just a wild guess about the light for the heater. A lot of houses didn't have an electrical installation for a lot of appliances yet. I think the light was there to tell you when a lot of electricity was pulled by the machine. After the heating phase had ended you could for instance put on the oven. Just guessing though. Perhaps an older person could tell you more about it.

And I think also for safety! In heating phase the heating elements are direclty soaking in water so there would be the maximum risk of electric dispersion...as to say "Don't touch it" LOL!
