Interim spin - a bit unbalanced and be careful not to fry your eyes.
When I watch this vid, it plays tricks on my eyes - you have been warned:

Cheers Mike.
Will always be grateful for the help that Saturday. I think you had a fun day too.
I understand what a Money Shot is now - I think the vids will qualify for this moniker.

Now with some Powder boxes - much prefer the vintage box designs to those of today. They just look that little bit more classy than the designs around today:

Coincidentally Alex owned, and brought with him, the Instruction manual for the Hotpoint 96700/96702.
Rather than being the normal booklet, this was a big fold out sheet which, when fully unfolded, was the size of a bedroom wall poster.
Well, that is it for the time being.
Hope you enjoyed the viewings.
Bit of an update on another machine of ours. The day me and Mike collected the 96702, I also purchased 2 motors:
1x 1400rpm FHP motor
&
1x 1400rpm GEC motor.
Sooo, with a bit of luck, the new year will enable the reactivation of mine and Rob's 9560 Microprofile.
Will keep you posted.
Cheers

Great job on the thread.
You have it all wrapped up so well.
Mike, thanks again for the driving not to mention the great friendship, the advice, help and being there to talk to - I totally forgot about that picture taken 18 months ago, seems so long ago considering all the stuff we have done together since.
Who could ask for better when it comes to friends?

Congratulations on your lovely new washer! I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing one of these in the flesh. If one comes up near me I may well think about getting one. Thanks for the videos and piccies. I am currently still debating getting that Hotpoint twinny! Might be fun! It’s nice to know your lovely old classic is in good hands.
One question I have is how these machines deal with woollens? Obviously the action could stretch them, I wondered how it worked?
All the best

I never knew that anyone other than GE ever made a Filter Flo type washer. This one looks very interesting. It also seems to operate very quietly. Thanks for posting all the photos and vids!

Hotpoint /GE
Hey Allen.
To all intents and purposes that IS a GE Filterflo!.
Hotpoint UK were connected to GE up until roughly 2002 when Indesit took them over.
The major difference is that the UK variant has a 3kw heater fitted

Hi Rob.
If you do get a hotpoint toploader, heed my warnings on the very first posting on this thread! They are a handful! Its amazing how that difference in size and the protruding programmer facia, makes them a different ball game in the movement and storage stakes.
Obviously you are in the better position, than me and Rob, in that you have permanent plumbing so, once you actually get the machine to your house, you should be able to plug and play.
Go for it!
Cheers
Paul
p.s....
there are a couple of early 1500/01s out there in safe hands.
I know of a 1502.
Keith has a 1504.
Mark has a Liberator 1509.
Me and rob have a New Gen.
Mike has a Next Gen.
That leaves models 1507, the box 1508 and the silver facia 15690 and brown facia 15790/792 not represented in the ranks of preserved machines. Will keep my eyes peeled for you!

Hi Allen and Seamus.
You have both got me intrigued by the other versions that were out there.
What was the American equivilant, which used the filterflow, and what did it look like?
I also remember reading a thread which had a picture of the Australian version of the Hotpoint 1500 (marketed by Fisher & Paykel), complete with matching dryer! Unfortunately I didnt get a copy of the picture - dont say it Mike!

New Zealand & Australian Version
Hi Paul,
This is a link to a New Zealand website which shows YOUR UK Hotpoint marketed as a "Frigidaire" in New Zealand. They were also badged "Kelvinator" and "Fysher & Paykel" in NZ.
In Australia, they were sold as "Kelvinator". I have seen one many years ago, but not since.
Cheers
Leon

The F&P AEI Top Loader
Hi all
Paul mentions a thread about the 'down under' version of the AEI top loader - I started it ages ago, and here it is! A rather nice looking pair based on the 1502 model.
Hotpoint have been in and out of bed with GE several times over the decades. The UK top-loader was based on the 1950s GE fliter-flo (though called Filter-Clean over here). Although GE and Hotpoint co-operated on projects in the 1970s, it wasn't until much later that GE had a 50% interest in Hotpoint UK during the very brief existence of GDA - the spin-off company following the collapse of GEC-Marconi. GDA was of course sold to Indesit in 2002, with a staged take over of the GE share completed in about 2007. Ironically the first Hotpoint UK washer was a Maytag clone!
