Hotpoint "Compact Automatic Washer"

"Pearl"

..is a White 1966-67 Hoover 0510 twin tub washer. The Coppertone model is a 0512 from 1970, it's one of the last SS tubs made and actually has the newer style spinner basket already. The quality on the coppertone 0512 is a tad shoddy in the SS seams and other smaller things, my guess is because of the change over to the poly-tubs, the last SS tubs QA suffered a bit.

Here's a pic of "pair". I think these were the only 2 colors offerered in the older styles.

They don't make em like that anymore!

I don't even think they make clothes washers with wheels anymore! They do make new wheely-mo-bob portable dishwashers though, but no wheeled clothes washers.

Too bad, That Hoover looks pretty nice.

Coppertone Hoover 0510 - wow!

Hey Tim ... the coppertone Hoover looks faaaaaantastic! Didn't know they were offered in that color - as a kid, in Canada, I remember seeing the harvest gold and avocado models with the poly tubs, but always preferred the metal wash tub. Also the later versions had funny undersized dials.
