More Vintage Finds: Hotpoint 1504 & Hoover Superjet

[sesteve]

What a great set guys. Can't believe how good the condition of them both are. The inside of the 1504 looks amazing - it doesn't look like it has ever leaked from the seals judging by the condition of the support tube! I wonder if the earlier arrangement with the lower bar and bush coupled with the bearing race made for smoother operation and less strain on the seals. The bottom is in great condition too which is surprising given the state of the back panel! Did it have any of the service history written on it like Richards? Hope it was fully drained before it went in the car! Hardly any cobwebs in the bottom of the dishwasher too. Amazing

Well done and looks great with the new line up. Al, you'd better consider making the extension 3 storey at this rate lol.

Sorry I have not had time to do any clean up on the machine yet

The Rinseaid tank (pic 3) lives behind the "Superjet" panel. The white part pulls out to let the rinse aid pour in. It is a "reverse rack" system with the plates on top, cups etc. on the bottom. There is a semi-circular additional rack but I could not work out how that fits.

Congratulations!

Very nice set! Love the Zanussi made Hoover.

In the 70's we also had this particular model branded ZANUSSI-KONČAR.

Hotpoint 1504 & Hoover Superjet

Hi Mark, thanks and now we can have a test wash next time over with all those fab Tide detergents you brought last time...

Darren, yes just when ya think theres non about out the woodwork they come ha ha...

Ian , "Bombsite - where" !! ha ha really glad you had a grand time. and very little use and well cared for like the rest of the house...I wondered where the circles where used, a nice touch me thinks !!

Louis, thanks , this is the first Hotpoint Timeline does look rather fetching I think and yes you can see the resemblances to the earlier Indesit / Zanussi`s.

Mikey, yes its good to finally get them together but dont hold ya breathe too long there will be another along soon to complete all the style series...

Hi Greg, Yes the pump still works smoothly even with the little drip, probably just a new cork seal required and a canvass strap. Did later GE filterflows have the same pump arrangement or did they go electric ?

Hoover Superjet semi-circular basket

I would suggest that this perhaps fits into the upper basket. Possibly to adapt the upper basket to take additional small items like coffee cups, egg cups or the like. This rationale is based on the following:

(a) small hooks, I suspect, hook over the upper basket edge.

(b) there seems to be a semi-circular gap. Possible to accommodate the cutlery basket in the centre of the upper basket.

Nice machines by the way, and well done!
