Eee Gads!

People kill me.

1.) It's not a Hoovermatic, it's a T1003

2.) There's no wringer

3.) The T1003 was the most popular model of these machines from 72-80 or so

4.) Damaged top

5.) "Unique" is not a proper adjective and hence requires no capitalization

Seriously the most I've ever paid is $100 and that was for a 0512 still on the shipping pallet, never used. What could possibly justify that price. Of my Hoover collection, 4 are T1003's.

How much were these brand new? Weren't they something like $199.00 or $249.00?

off topic but still hooovering

I see that this model does not have the auto rinse knob

Did you have to manually rinse the clothes instead

example

open lid

turn on water faucet and let water run into the spinner to desired water level

Turn off water

Swish clothes in spinner

close lid on spinner

spin out water

repeat until water runs clear

Grandma had a used one with the rinse knob but she never used it she used rinse tubs with it

Rinsing In Non-Auto Hoover TT's

Could be done several ways.

The owner's manual with my unit states to fill the spin can with enough water to cover the load, then allowing the machine to spin it away (very hard on the motor and sends lots of water splashing inside the machine which can cause all sorts of problems later such as rust).

When laundering small items one can simply swish them about as water fills the spin can until they are saturated (but not filling the can with water), then spin.

Either way one did all this until water from the spinning came clear.

Personally find for all but loads of small items better to either deep rinse in the tub or someother vessel then do a final spin in the Hoover's extractor.

Of course much will depend upon what type of detergent was used. If a product created too much froth in the wash, you're going to have that same problem in the spinner until much of the soap is rinsed out. Spinning froth laden laundry places a huge strain on the motor thus isn't recommended.

Hoover Price

I sifted through my folder of my "new" 1970 Model 0512 and the original invoice price in July of 1970 was $169.99 + tax. Ouch.
