[richukbristol]

Its being observed

Hi all.

Yep - its an A3252 from the 2nd range of electrons.

Anyone going to go for it? Let me know as it wouldn't take a lot of convincing for me to have a flutter, but I don't want to bid if someone else wants to try and offer it a home.

Update

Many years ago, I acquired an A3254 Electron 800 (please excuse the missing door trim - a replacement has been procured, courtesy of Mathew) ....

 

[matchboxpaul]

Gary acquired an A3256 Dual Spin, now in the custodianship of Mathew ....

 

[matchboxpaul]

and also acquired an A3258 800 De Luxe - note the grey, not black, fascia ....

 

[matchboxpaul]

There are many A3260 1100 De Luxe's in circulation still...

 

[matchboxpaul]

and a few years ago, after a long wait, a couple of A3268 Computer Control 1100's finally surfaced. The machine below is Bristol Richard's, which we collected for him from Manchester ....

 

[matchboxpaul]

which meant that when the A3252 Electron 600 arrived on ebay, it really had to be saved

 

[matchboxpaul]

ta da!

Hi Mathew.

Its had the usual spring clean to remove a layer of grime, that 33 years of service deposits on a machine in general use. All the photos posted of it above are after a couple of hours cleaning and polishing.

It spins! Haven't tried it on a wash yet, as the original rubber hose had snapped off when the previous owners removed it. Would have been replaced anyway, but currently prevents it being used till a replacement is fitted.
Still, at least it meant that it was drained of water and didn't wee all over my car

Electron 600

Hello Paul

Well done on getting this lovely machine, I am glad it will be looked after in your trusty hands.
~It cleaned up well better be quick with the waste hose before summer drying temps start to drop.
Lovely machine
Thanks
Gary

single tubs

Hi Paul

I can't tell you the exact dates, but I have both the single tub and spinarinse featured in this brochure, and am pretty sure supermatic james has the T5052
so looks like we've 1983 sown up between us, well done in completing the line up.

ps sorry for jumping in to early in your flow, I'd waited until the front view of the 600 to congratulate not thinking you'd be running through the whole range.

Have a good week

Mathew

Hi Paul

Good save lad’s, strange how machines turn up in batches, nothing for months on end and its dead quite on the forum and then a few trump up in quick succession.

Excellent.

Hoover...

Congrats on another important save - these obscure models tend to get overlooked, kind of grow on you after years of square doors and TOL models, nice seeing the Electron 800 panel there under the blue graphics of the D6180..

From Hoover - Who Better - Range Unlimited!!

 

[matchboxpaul]

Hiya Mike.

Just need to keep an eye out for the even more obscure A3332 Electron 500, with the induction motor.

The 600 is a lovely machine and has tidied up rather well. Just requires a new lid, to replace the existing slightly chipped one. Will get that sorted when the other machines move over to the house, along with all the spares.
