1400...

Hi Mike,
Yep those pumps can be a nightmare, I have seen both types, one where the drive comes straight of the wash motor, and also the friction drive type that is sprung loaded against the wash motor fan. I took mine our and replaced it with a electric pump, it works just fine.
The other 1400's are they later or earlier models ? Do they all have the valve box, or empty via the nozzel ? Mine doesn't have the empty valve, but it is the latter 1400, with the blue control panel.

Hi all.

Wow!
cant believe all the new stuff that I have learned, as a result of peoples contributions. We all have soooooo much knowledge in our various data banks - its great to share.
Thanks to everyone.

I have a picture that I took of a 1400 at John's, back in 2009. Dont know whether this was to become the first machine to pass through the 'Spa' (in which case it looks SUPERB today), or whether its the second machine, in which case its still being worked on...

Hi Keith.

The full range of English Electric Appliances!!! Adding my two-penceworth - it would be great to be ab;e to see that in greater detail.

Meanwhile, just a couple more piccies from KAYS catalogue but this time with some info attached.

First up - the Hotpoint 1501 (I think)....

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the pic's they are fab..I guess if i was granted one wish, it would be to go back to 1964, the 1420 & 1500 machines look fab.
I have a quite a few bits on English Electric. I have now had to split the info up into major manufacturers like Hotpoint,Hoover,Servis & Misc..the drop files were just getting too think..lol
I really must attend the next gathering !!
Cheers

Morning Paul,

Hi Keith.

No worries.
You changing your profile pic, gave me a nudge to change mine too.

1504 looks great!
The neighbour opposite me had one for these (or possibly the visually identical, but interlocked model 1518)and it lasted in operation through to the mid 1980s. It then lived down the side of his house for a year or so (I think) and was in full view of me each morning, when I opened my curtains.
Ah well.
Paul
