Thanks to Riccardo's Indesit K5 recently found
Hi, here you are the only one youtube video existing about the Indesit K5.
It was a machine without outertub suspensions but with a quite large drum (I suppose near 6Kg). It had only one cycle selectable by the left knob, while the right one was for the temperature. Two toggleswitches were provided to start 'n' stop the machine and the other to make the machine peform the prewash only (and stop to soak) or the whole cycle.

There was not the Selfcleaning pump yet on this machine, but only one motor (with pulleys and belts trasmission) provided the wash, the spin and the drain.
The most incredible feature of this machine was the sud-saving tank upon the outer tub. It was I think the only Italian Superautomatic washing machine to do that in 60s. You need to put the drain hose in a hole under the top which was an openable lid, then perferorm the cycle until the end and after that you need to take away the cloggers of the tank to let the water percolate down to the tub upon the drum ready with the laundry for the following cycle and so on...
Maybe bewitched (Marco) could say something more about this machine.
