I would love a machine like that, unfortunately, even for me it's a bit too far. Also the leak is worring as it could be happening all over the motor.

Thanks for the posting Darren.

I'd die of jealousy if you did. But, havin said that. You def should. This is a fantastic model i've always wanted one. Good luck!

[hoovermatic]

when does this model date from? I have never seen a Hoover Auto like this b4

 

[robm]

1983

The attached pic is from a brochure in 1983. The fascia on the ebay machine is white so I think this is later. The logic range I think started about 87 so I would imagine this machine dates from 85-86.

Good luck if you get it Seamus.

Nice Hoover!

23 pounds and a "slight leak"...why not Seamus!! This could be a nice project. It certainly looks like a nice washer!! There may not be enough time, but perhaps you could e-mail the seller to find out where the leak is; tub seal as opposed to water underneath the washer.

Good luck to whoever picks this up!

 

[newwave1]

Hmmm i'll trade my logic for it if someone gets it

 

[seamusuk]

Right....

Hey ppl

I really would like this, but have to be realistic

I have no space in my flat, so it would have to live at work.

This would mean the Logic would have to go-as great as my boss is I realy cant push having more than one machine there.

Hmm whats to do............

Seeming as it's a little bird's birthday a week this Sunday, I think it would be nice if somebody bought it and sent it to the little bird...

*hint hint* :-D

 

[seamusuk]

Well.................

Apparently I now own a Computer Control 1100

Just hope the leak is a minor thing!

Will report back once I have it ;-)

Seamus

 

[newwave1]

I've officially died of jealousy lol. Well i do hope you get this beauty back on track. and then i must insist on some photos

Good luck!

Darren

 

[seamusuk]

Darren

Will do lol- I need to talk nicely to a friend and see if we can pick it up Sunday eve .

The hoses, door gasket, stat seals, pump etc are all still availiable for this- hopefully one of those will cure it!

Seamus

P.s I did actually rescue one like in Robs brochure about a year ago but unfortunatly the main programme pcb was faulty. This part was still listed then, but was best part of £100!!!- its defiantly obsolete now tho!

 

[newwave1]

Most things for old hoovers are still ready availiable thankfully. They must know how good they are

I bought a motor off a guy for my logic but it doesnt fit my machine. im proper p'd off the guy said he'd try and find me the right one. alas he's not got back to me...the pot luck of ebay as they say.

the computer control is such a nice looking machine. I always thought how you could top that classic hoover look? Throw in some flashy lights and hey presto

I'm still on the never ending search for a computer logic/ecologic. that would be a dream.

If i'm right i believe the computer control was one of very few hoovers that span inbetween each of the synthetic rinse cycles.

Good luck restoring this beauty.

Darren

 

[seamusuk]

The Brochure......

It makes you realise how old this machine actually is when you consider the kid demonstrating the child lock is prob 27-28 years old now lol!!!

I bet he hasnt still got that haircut pmpl!!

Seamus

 

[seamusuk]

Computer Logics...

Ive never actually seen one but Rob has also posted a brochure with the Ecologic Computer Washer in . would presume its much the same!.

One major part for these machines is, unfortunatly obsolete and its one ive replaced quite a few of- the anti twist/suspension kit . I do know an ex Hoover engineer who has promised me a couple if he can find them lol!!

Really looking forward to getting this now :-D

Seamus

 

[seamusuk]

OMG!!

Ive just looked at the Computer Washers control panel and it even has a diagram of the detergent drawer with lights to tell you what sections to use for each programme- how amazingly cool is that!!!!!

Seamus

 

[newwave1]

hehe told u its a ledgendary model

 

[robm]

Congratulations

Hi Seamus

Congrats on the new machine. I hope it really is great and you have great fun with it. Looking forward to an update.

Computer Control

Well done Seamus, looks like it has been well looked after, most of those white machines have a tendency to turn yellow over time....

You`ll love this "Display In The Dark" all green n red flashing lights, all you need is a System 50 Sensotronic to keep it company...

Enjoy, Mike

 

[seamusuk]

Update!!!!

Hey Guys

It was dropped off to where I work earlier in the week. Unfortunatly ive not been in the right branch till today tho. Pics in its unrestored state will follow this eve- im gonna see what it needs doing etc on Monday when im off.

The big suprise was what was sat next to it keeping it company!!!!- Nick dont let the cat out the bag lol!!

Seamus

 

[seamusuk]

[robm]

Congratulations

Hi Seamus, congratulations on the new hoover it looks fantastic!

I'm guessing the machine about is a Servis judging by the glass door??

Rob

 

[seamusuk]

Ding........

[seamusuk]
