Model 1826
The mid range offering came in the form of the other Zanussi machine, given the model number 1826 and named simply LIBERATOR.
This gave the option of Super Wash and Economy Load buttons and a faster spin of 520rpm...

Model 1826
Here is mine and Rob's Model 1826.
Unfortunately this machine is now suffering from rust issued emanating from underneath the panel, so has just been transported to my place in Derby for repair works (the best I can perform on it anyway).
It will probably finish up having to have a full respray sometime soon.
Anyways - here it is just after it received its new set of bearings, with a link to one of the videos of it...

Back to the world of GEC - Model 1828
alongwith introducing the two Italian models, Hotpoint also warmed over its own 1851/03 and produced the 1828.
Initially in the form of the 1828/01, this version was in production from June 1976 to March 1977. I have no photos of this model, but am given the distinct impression that it was visually identical to its replacement....
...which was released in prototype form in December 1976 and production form from February 1977 - Model 1828/02 LIBERATOR DE LUXE.
The 1828's received a redesigned fascia with full programme details printed on it(previously the programme details were held on a removable card originally to be found in the powder drawer), as well as a stainless steel drum.
The upgrade that probably caused the creation of 1828/02 and replacement of 1828/01 was the boosting of the spin speed from 750rpm upto the full 800rpm, though it was still a single speed machine...

Model 1828/02
Here is my 1828/02, though it still awaits repairs to a holed outer tub.
Also suffers from white platsic fever though, as Lee has decided with his 1851/03, I have decided to live with it - cant risk losing that script with a respray!
A particularly precious machine to me now, as my late father resprayed the kick strip for me (he also resprayed the programmer console wrap and side plates on my 1509/05)...

Back a bit to the 1701/01...
When the 1851/03 arrived on the scene with its newly restyled fascia, the same changes were implemented on the 1701/01 dryer as well.
Hence we have version 2 Model 1701/01...

Model 1701/01 version 2
Here is one of the handful of preserved examples - mine and Robs and weirdly, like with my 1509/05, its date code 95!

The world of the compact - Model 1720
Hotpoints 1st foray into the world of the compact dryer was the rear venting Model 1720 Home and Dry.
For some reason though, Hotpoint didnt see fit to Liberator purple it and this machine ws sold only in brown, though came with Liberator triangular corner stickers...

Right oh - that takes us through to the end of May 1978, though not yet the end of the Liberators, but they didnt have long to go!
Will deal with those in a day or two - give chance for people to digest the machines
Before I sign off for the night - just to prove the strangeness of date code 95 (November 1977)......

Hi Andy.
Glad that you are enjoying the thread and any snippets of information, please do add them.
Its always great to get other peoples knowledge and experiences of machines, so any info gratefully received.
Dont know whether you will have seen my Hoover hstory thread. In a similar vein to this Hotpoint thread, it covers all Hoover models from the 1st Keymatic through to their final Electron. Go have a gander though, as this thread is becoming, it is VERY picture heavy and may take a while to load onto your computer.
Will post the end of the Liberators and start of the silver and brown series-18 over the coming days.
Cheers

Hi everyone. Have been meaning to do a thread like this for Hoover, for ages. Finally got round to it! In a similar vein to the Creda thread that I did a while back, I will try and post pics of all Hoover automatic washers and dryers, from the first Keymatic through to the last Electron...

Hi Paul, Thanks for the welcome! =) Yeah have had a good look and literally ahem myself lol. Think you have it pretty much nailed, think I may have some images of a 1504 I think which I should scan and upload. Also I have the 1600 / 1830 service manual, if of interest I will scan and post =)

Hi Andy.
Blimey, I am up way past my bedtime
Fantastic that there is some more preserved purple out there, especially of the wet front loader variety.
Up until a couple of years ago, no one had seen a GEC Liberator front loader for years and years and years. Then the 1828/02 surfaced, quickly followed by Lee's 1851/03 and we thought that was it. Now you have got one too - really very pleased indeed.
Is there any chance of some photos of it/them?
Is it a 1828/01 or a 1828/02 or the yet to be covered in this thread 1828/07?
Be great to see some shots of it.
If photos are possible and you want to post them on this thread, then let me know and I will pause posting after the fianl series of Liberators, so that your photos sit withing the right time period.
Or maybe set up a thread for all your stuff. New pictures of the 1504 would be great to see and I know for sure that there will be people, myself included, who will be very interested INDEED to be able to read about the nitty gritty detail of the Hotpoint 1600 and 1830.
Would be fantastic if you could scan nice and large that servicing manual, for sure!
The 1600 and 1830 definitely deserves its own thread!
You wouldnt happen to know much about the 1830 would you, or have any pictures of it?
