take a look at 550rpm - here it was a superfast spin! compared to today's 1400rpm. Fastest on this market were only Candy washer/dryers with 800rpm at the time, and between washers this was considered as luxury

No wonder today the best seller in Serbia is 600rpm then

And I also wanted to share with you one more interesting moment from Mixer festival (link). This is not any video montage, it was really displayed on the building

Hello Dejan

Thank you very much for those pictures!

My grandmother also had a PS 664 BIO S washer. Indeed it was a very popular machine.
I still have the original receipt and the owner manual. It was bought in 1975.

PEA

My PEA from 1971 (the same as the one in the last advertisement) is still in use

The SUPERAVTOMAT 275 is almost similar to the Zanussi my grandmother had. Even the blueish color of the control panel is the same. Hers didn't have the detergent dispenser though. I remember that 1 was 95*C and 4 was 40*C. Is 2 60*C? Or is 3 60*C? 5 was rinse and 6 was spin.

Gorenje Rex Zanussi

As I said, the first machines from Gorenje were done on licence from Rex-Zanussi.
That wasn't a rare picture to see in Yugoslavia, as Italian-Yugoslavian collaboration was really good on all fields.
So, Gorenje bought a whole project from Zanussi, and just made machines in Velenje, Slovenia. So sure it is very similar to your grandmother's Zanussi

Also, from Yugoslavian-Italian collaboration were:
OBOD white goods (montenegro) - Indesit washing machines and Bauknecht dishwashers
KONCAR white goods (croatia) - Zanussi after gorenje started producing for itself
ZASTAVA cars (serbia) - Fiat

Ingemar,
Can you please upload the rest of the pages from user manual of PS 664 BIO S?

 

[confused]

when you look at the picture of the Olympic77 you can see slight design queues they use even today on modern Gorenje's like mine

Modern Gorenje's offer...

...2000 rpm spin speed, I think. The drums on that vintage machines look rather small, I believe they're 4,5 kg? Standard for that time, of course...

PS 664 BIO S

Hi Dejan, here is the rest of the owners manual that can be interesting to see. (I haven't uploaded all the 13 sheets. It would be too boring)
