Moving

Hey Leon, good to hear from you, yes am moving, everything is going into storage for the interim, whilst I work out what to do next, bigger display space/ museum space etc!!

Am excited for the next stage of life just slightly daunted by moving all those machines, one way though, front loaders & stacked dryers are easier to move than TL`s IMHO, so dont envy you!!!...LOl

Are you moving far??
 
Wash-Ins

Hi Terry, yes will kepp you informed, just sorry you didnt get to see it in person, the kitchen would have lent itself to your cooking & coffee!!! been talking to Jack about next year convention so watch this space!!!

Keith, well you know what its like lumpin all those machines in & out of storage...LOL, it will be a few months until they see the light of day again, but hey...

Phil, glad you enjoyed the pics, will do some vids of the Servis machines before they go!!

Brent, washins are the same the world over, just like when we met all those years ago whilst you coverted the Bendix washer dryer..all good fun, great to meet like minded people and great friendships & connections are made..
 
Wash-Ins

Dyson2drums, yes its always fun getting together, Jack is usually puttings vacs through their paces and me, well I get clean carpets without any effort!!!

Louis, its all on the move over the next two weeks, I`m on extra spinach and vitamins...LOl, we worked out the garage that you see can be moved in 6 vanloads so not too bad over a few days!!!

Hi David5495, welcome to the club, hopefully a few more mini meets will be happening shortely so watch this space!!!

Greg, always a good time had by all, like you know its hard work, pulling it together, but got it off to a fine art now and love the fact that everyone mucks in!! (or it wouldnt happen...LOL)

Liam , looking forward to seeing yourself at the next one, no zanussis mind, so just warning you..LOL

Matty, wow, xmas in UK, well we can certainly arrange a meet up for you, that will be great, look forward to seeing you then and we`ll get out your grans twinny for you to have a bash with!!!
 
Wash-Ins

Jon, glad you got to see the place and experience it, and yes hope to see you soon, nobody does "Pims o Clock time" like yourself with the cocktails!!!

RCD Andrew, my pleasure, glad you enjoyed the pics, its a thing with me doing names, I hate not knowing who people are in the pics!!!..LOl

Robert, yes and look where you are now, I need to be sorted that quick...Oh where`s the magic wand & broomstick, any tips appreciated!!!...LOl

Brandon, yes at least I can stack the dryers and although bulkey, they are lighter to move, I worked out all the washers & dryers stacked will fill a 40ft container wall in one go...twinnies will go on the other wall under a worktop with the small tubs/dryer & vacs on top...thats the theory anyway!!

Fun Times

Seamus, yep missed you this time, I had to spend more time checking plugs & hose connections, which is usually yours and Matts garage jobby!!

Paul, will get to catch up one day, hopefully not long!!!

Al, yes we staggered out way from table to washer, all good fun, and greateful for the help, (Al`s another Terry, stuff just happens, makes the cakes & food, he knows where everything is and is happy to get on with it)

Sorry Jack, couldnt resist that!!! Oh that building, how many times have we been past it, all that history inside it, if only we win the lottery tonight!!

Jon, was good to see you in action with the twinnys, and blast, I didnt take a pic of your AEG Lavamat 620 which you brought over...did anyone else..Al, Paul?? It was great to catch up with you on thursday on your own turf as well, just putting the Dixan through its paces in the Zug!!!Ta..

Jon & Matt arrived friday, we set Jon`s AEG up and I`d done a curry & rice with nibbles so we just pulled up three chairs, sat in front of it and "Watched the WasherTelly" all night!!

Matt, great to finally meet you, (now what accent was that...LOL..just kidding) I hope you got a sense of how the machines worked after all the laughter & food...& that little joke of exclusive washing powder for the Zug indeedy!!
 
Wash-Ins

Robbieliverpool, dont know whats happening here, with emails, mail me from this profile, or better still phone me on the work line monday, anyday..etc am around sorting stuff so get yourself over asap!!!

David, see you soon, your toploaders have been collected from the workshop, (took over my 1501 toploader for renovation along with the A3203 wide bodied keymatic, silver one in the pics) and are ready to come down to you!!!..yay..

Paul, yes will let you know and would be great to catch up, am down at Rich`s in Bristol shortly so perhaps there as well!!

Richard, it was a bit short notice and realise with work its difficult etc, look forward to catching up soon and hearing how the "Oovahh" is performing...

Chris..or is it Torri Pam Ann!!! great to have met you, really enjoyed your jokes , one liners & laughter...(Chris, Matt & Jon where like the performing crew...never a dull moment...Cheers..."just off to find loofffaa"!!!

Lee, oh dont wish van trouble on me...LOL hopefully should be okay, and yes we need to meet up cos I`m keen to start this Super SelectroMatic Front Loader project soon!!
 
Highly strung..Moi!!!

Oh Gary I choked when I saw that, me poor carpet and me AldiLiddle cornflakes, "Worra pile of old s****t"!!!lol .....Nowthen go and post the other one you did...go on the`re not back till next week!!!

Kelly, glad you enjoyed the pics, the house does lend itself to parties, if its not the appliance guys its my large family with the kids on sleepovers, and then the neighbours all think its a safe haven and "Adult Downtime Space" which is great...The trifle was an old recipe made by Bob & Neil, like a traditional xmas trifle, bodouir fingers, strawberries soaked in sherry, strawberry pink blancmange, layer of custard, & whipped cream dotted with white malteasers & strawberries..lovely

Melvin, the coloured tubs belonged to the Titan washing machine, launched early 2000, to compete with dyson as the first of larger machines, but had a few problems and as it was privately owned didnt make it to maket, although it has been launched abroad recently, the unique feature was the inner drum could be removed to "walk around the house, fill it up and then go to machine, or take it to the line etc after... the colours are Orange, Green & blue, Whites , Lights & Darks...it heated and pumped wash solution through the baffles at high pressure like a shower...

Powders

Richard, you ask that question like I`m gonna use it...LOl, the boys went shopping for cider and wine and saw on the shelf "This new powder for Zug machines" hhmmmm well, never be so affronted in all my life...own brand in this house...good job Danksy wasnt here....!!!mind you we have been called own brand snobs by certain Bostonians...Cough!!

Steve, yep a grand crew, and lots more of them about, just difficult to get everyone together etc...I wonder what you`d make of it, all those front loaders, twinnys & powders...one day perhaps!!

Richard, glad you enjoyed it as ever, I was very thankful for all the flicking of covers you did, Flick,Flick, covering all those machines at short notice due to the downpour...didnt dampen the spirits though, hey didnt you take a pic of the Maytags after cleaning...LOL...they do need a renovation and overhaul, but worked superbly, very quiet etc...heres the Hotpoint Liberator 1509/10 back from workshop & spa...lovely

Thanks for thy reply Mike

ermmm... yeah must have been fun! Jack sure puts the vacuums through their paces. Me like you gets the carpets clean without effort.

It'd be cool to attend a wash in, wish i could have a big place with a huge itility area for washers n dryers etc.

Only have space for one washing machine, one tumble dryer etc.

Super SelectroMatic Front Loader project.

Fantastic, I’m still developing the PCB’s for my project; the software seems to work well, just the hardware letting it down.
 
Mikes Orders

MIKE
As you have ordered me to show THE PICTURE I shall, but let it be known that it was you who insisted i show it.

AL
That Electrolux cleaner is absolutely beautiful, the design is so elegant, it was i would say worth every penny and effort to bring it back, a wondeful machine.

MIKE
Those Hotpoint toploaders are as you know my favourite Hotpoint machines and again like Al, the effort is sooo worth it when they come back from Marks looking and working so well, so well done, a set of machines to be proud of.

MAYTAGS
It is great to see fots of those lovely machines, again the styling is brilliant but of course in the internal shots show the very sturdy build qaulity, very nice.

JACK
Well Jack how you describe yourself is not how I remember you, drink in hand, ciggy in the other, having a bit of dance, big smile on your face........but you are of course right to expect premium qaulity breakfast foods.

THE PICTURE
This is the only other candid picture taken that I know of..................
Gary

Jack I'm suprised you can't remember dancing, it was one of the highlights of the gathering, you strutting your stuff wearing nothing but a smile and socks lol.
 
Mike... Love the Titan machine, im forever not using the washing basket when on the way out to the line and dropping things. Sheets also get covered in dirt when they fall out too!

The tesco value powder! Ive used tescos own brand for whites before but whats this value like?

Surely a test was done to assertain its performance?

:P
 
Great to see and hear about another meet, I will make it someday!

Hope the move goes well Mike, bet those machine will get the curtains twitching!

twintubtastic

great to see you all had such a great time, everyone looks on top form, a real tribute to you all that there are more photos of happy faces than washers, so sorry to have missed this one.

I enjoyed the captioned photos, the thought of me and john being on hoovermatic backup lol.

Mike all the love and best for the times ahead,I was quite moved seeing the old pheasent, look forward to seeing you soon.

When the lottery win comes your way, can we have a big cosy sofa in front of the washer demonstration area, had seamus and matt over this weekend and after several loads in the keymatic we came to the conclusion a sofa was the way to go lol.

Speak soon Mathew
 
Nice Maytag; my childhood washer. Looks like it has not seen too much use in its time, as the print on the buttons and dial is not faded. Imagine seeing one of those across the pond. Cool.

Have a good one,
James
 
Hiya Mike....

I cant get my head around the fact that its over a week since your last Shavington based do!

Fantastic time had and great to meet Chris, Matt and Robbie (hi guys!) and catch up with everyone else.

To Mike....all I can say is thankyou for having the patience to arrange your wash ins.
Just been back and checked the photo archive and my first attendance was on October 8th 2007 and the magical find of the moment was your Servis Mk72 Electronic (piccy attached below).

To think of all the machines that have graced your kitchen floor over the years (and occasionally pi$$ed themselves all over it!).....many many happy memories.

Thanks for helping to re-kickstart my childhood interest in all things washery. Three and a half years down the line and you have a LOT to answer for! lol.

Onwards to the future.

Cheers Mike.

Highest Regards
Paul

Oi Jon!

You take care of WD1012 wont you! lol.

She may be a bit battered around the edges, but worked quietly and efficiently the last time we powered her up - blimey - probably two years ago! How time flies.

As I mentioned, just keep checking the soundness of the epoxy and have fun with it.

Cheers
Paul

Wash-in!!

H Mike,

I'm so glad I had the chance to see your fantastic collection of washers and vacs, It was also great to finally meet the lads.

I hope your move goes smoothly and good luck in your new place and a new beginning in your life.

Thanks for your hospitality, I had a really entertaining weekend.

Regards

Rob
