Indesit brochure

TD5

Wow, I had not seen one before. I didn't know anyone who owned an Indesit dryer when I was growing up, in fact I don't recall seeing any on sale either.

Paul, do you know if it was a variant of the TD5 that Servis sold as the 2080?

Never seen the dryer!

Wonder who made it?

I can't help but notice the low power rating for the heating element, 1800w!

Never seen a dryer that only requires a 10amp fuse either.

The brochures are wonderful, I've never seen the 800 spin model until now, but I had heard of it.

Thanks for the pic of the L6SGBT, I'm pretty sure that was the machine owned by a man my gran cleaned for. The dial next to the main programme dial wash the bio dial, numbered 1 to 13. Was never sure if the numbers indicated hours or if the explanation was in the instruction book. As you know Indesit were not know for their clear controls!

Hi, very interesting brochure ! thanks for posting.

I have some technical documents of these machines but for the French version (with cold filling only, because we prefer electricity to heat the water since we have several "non dangerous" nuclear plants !).

When seeing that the model numbers on the brochure ends by "GB" I just figured out the trick, so "GB" means Great Britain, "I" means Italy and "F" means France (on my technical documents the model numbers ends by LI, LF, SI, AOI, AOF or M5F).

We had an almost similar dishwasher at the gay community center. It had a timer with several colors. It was loud, very loud! IIRC it used 60 litres of water per load.

L6 SGB

Paul/Paul
Looking again and having found the Tesco ad I think the machine must have been the L6 SGB. It certainly didn't have the Bio selector or the rocker switch. My brain must be confused thinking it was right hand drive.

On a slightly associated theme I have a Dolomite owing friend who has built up a gearbox test rig with a flywheel and clutch that is powered by an Indesit motor, I think this is from either an L5 or L6

Thanks for your help clearing this up.

Indest td5

Hi all,1st thanks Alanlondon for posting these brochures ,it brings back a lot of memories.I beleive the TD5 indesit dryer was sourced from Zerowat and styled to match the L10 washer.In the late 70s i worked for a small independant and we sold the equivalant Indesit machines badged as Hirundo,sort of Indesit attempt to help the independant retailers against the big stores.Its funny how things work out,the Indesit L10 was fitted with a GEC Hotpoint brush type motor.They must have liked it so much they bought the company!
Regards nige.

Hi Nigel.

Thanks for clearing up who made the TD5. Zerowatt it was and there are a few videos on youtube of the Zerowatt washing machine that the TD5, in the alternative guise, was a match for - link below.

I know we had the name in the UK, but did we have this actual generation of washing machines in the UK?

In the picture of the dishwasher, are those plastic grates under the wine goblets?  It's a great idea, we should have had those on machines over here years ago!  Are they removable?

 

Love the appliance store picture!

 

[foraloysius]

Yes, those are plastic grates. They weren't removable IIRC, at least we never did. Here's a video of an LS12 showing them.

 

[gansky1]

Thanks, Louis.  That really is a pretty machine - I love the control panel.

Indesits dishwashers

About wine glass plastic holder, I could see that in a few models they made them removable while in others not, even if of the same line.... They simply were part of the rack.
I think this was just a thing about indesit,in other brands I could not see them....
Also, not sure if the tower models were sold in the UK, but in Italy it was also common to find tower ( 3 rack) dishwashers, meant to be used in componible kitchens (not undercounter), they often were installed in corners near the sink, they were slimmer but taller allowing them to fit easily.....
Also candy initially made this kind of tower machines....I could just see one personally in an abandoned house near here...in the lower floor kitchen they also had a candy sink/dishwasher unit....

When first I came across this ad I really hoped it was for a regular model, but after pics publication I could bitterly discover that the machine was a tower model that unfortunately will not fit in my kitchen...
Anyway, sellers are the classical bumpkins who thinks have a treasure.... 500 euros is beyond any reasonable request....neither if it was NIB.
Here is how the tower model looks like, if someone is able to save and post pic for the archives it would be great (I cannot since safari won't allow me to upload)....
