Louis

its like the top one you posted, round door the same as that. However its got a dark control panel instead of the steel one on that. Also it only has 2 dials. Time and temperature. Temp dial is the tiny one. No lights or anything else. Im assuming it was bought in 1984/5 or so together with the Philco. Nana also had a under counter Philips fridge. Very similar in design to the fridge freezer Madge and Harold in Neighbours had in the 80s/90s. Think Jim Robinson had same fridge freezer too. Il try to get a snap of it soon as I can. Rob

Does it perhaps look like the one in this picture?

 

[aquarius1984]

hmmm

Louis I cant really see it right now from the pic i get on my phone but its looks right. Is that a UK Kitchen? Looks it with the hi back Cooker or did you have that slim design over there too? Il look properly when I get to the pc. Rob. Thanks for posting these pictures, im very grateful you took the time to do so.

Louis who was that Belgium guy? a washer collector? I can't find any one who's interested in Belgium:s Btw those philips washers where a real hit around here. Even a popular soap 'FC the Champions' (FC De kampioenen) had in one of theire first episodes a philips/siera washer. I was 3 year when I saw the episode for the first time and it took me 10 years to find that episode again!

 

[foraloysius]

No, not a washer collector. He was more into the so called "American kitchens". But he had some classic appliances as well. Mail me if you want more details.

OMG...Blast From The Past

Nice pics there guys...Blue certainly was Philips`s colour in the 70`s.... I love the sloping front of the earlier machine,looks so robust...The SlimStar toploader is the UK HN3156, 1000rpm, this had the side detergent dispenser..

I think the Philips machines of the 70`s / 80`s up to the Italian 090 series where by far the most stylish machines around and very functional, I could kick myself for not having kept all the sales documentation from then...

That kitchen has the AWM082 series washer , paired with the D186 dryer, these had the polypropylene tub, permag motor, both with 10yr guarantee..The drum was suspended on 4 large springs with 2 damper struts down below, allowed the tub to flex but was very sturdy during the spin as these spun with the tub full of water for an even distribution.The dishwasher was the Series X2000 with all polypropylene tub as well, very quiet, and the fridge freezer was the ARG 196...the bigger one that that was the ARG411..

I`m keeping my fingers crossed, Alpha Dave called around to say that a friend had moved into a house and the original machine was there, she asked "did he want it" he said NO "But I know a man who does"...lol..Dave said , "You`ll never guess what it is??" and he said a 70`s Philips with a "Silver Console"...OMG you`ll have to wait til next week, as I will!!

D186

sounds about right for the model number! Could be the one. Im sure its a 186. Cant wait to see some pics Mike or your new collection piece. It does have to be said, that the Philips machines did look and feel more substantial in style than the other machines at the time. Wow I just cant wait, roll on next week. Rob

Gotta love the style of that 606

What a classically 70s smart looking machine.
Do you know if the machine is still with us Louis? It looks immaculate.

Never seen a front loading Philips, controls on the front, with the programme guide sticking up from the back - weird, but I like it.
Did yours have this feature Peter?

Like with Rob, I too am very excited at the prospect of a 1970s Philips being preserved. Will it be blue or will it be bronze? Fingers crossed for a successful outcome.

Say hi to Dave for me Mike.
Cheers
Paul

Paul,

Yes, that washer is still with us. I mailed with the owner and he confirmed that the drum is not tilted, just as I thought I remembered. I think the programme guide is cool, I think it folds down, just as it does on my Philips AWB119 toploader.

Peter and Rob,

I'm glad I can share those pictures with you, that's what we're here for, isn't it?

Louis

Hi Louis

Thanks for checking - its always nice to know that something as smart looking as that is still extant.

Very pleased.
Paul

Yes dear, but nowadays it is lave linge. Like on this site:

Machine a laver is more an oldfashioned word. But that would fit you I guess.... lol
