Here you are a vid:
It looks like a well built, nicely designed machine.
It's interesting to see that it has Cold - 30°C, 60°C and 90°C
Other manufactuers usually set 40°C as the cool wash in that era.
What is the spin speed?
When we lived in Spain we'd a very old 1980s machine that had a really slow spin. But, it was so warm in summer it really didn't matter. You just put the clothes out on the washing line in the balcony (which had external glazing) and the clothes would dry in no time!

I think...
... at the end of the 1970ies still the 30 degrees were standard for a cold wash. I wonder about the 90 degrees, because it used to be 95 the standard at that time, too... Cold wash was very unusual, by the way...
You still find clothes who state 30 degrees but nowadays you can choose from 15 or 20 degrees on extremely modern or special "eco" machines. BOSCH has one, I think...

That's a cool looking machine! Is that a second drawer on the right?

Thanks for comments!!!
I don't know exactly spin speed; I think it is 500 rpm.
You can see on the right not a second drawer but a "top filter": you can clean the filter from the top...

Wow, great machine, is this a washer or a washer dryer?? have never seen a pump filter up top like that, rather ingenious idea, does it filter the water all the time then??
Its interesting when you think all these brands with such diverse features and most have been reduced to a basic cheap throwaway machine these days!!
Congratulations, its a keeper for sure!!

Yes, it is in excellent condition, except for shock absorbers (they are too noisy). I hope I can repair it.
