On Ebay UK - April

[gizmo]

The Gentle Annie agitator is different to the Smart Drive.

Gentle Annie: each fin is a triangle, fully connected to the base skirt at the bottom, the centre post at the centre. The outer edge of each fin is a straight line.

Smart Drive: each fin is a "wing" which is attached to the centre post but not fully attached to the base skirt. The outer edge of each fin is a curve.

The action is different too - the Smart Drive has a very slight pause after each stroke, the Gentle Annie has absolutely no pause, the agitator "bounces" instantly from full speed one way to full speed the other direction.

Chris.

an early 1987 style new generation - too far away for me - I have checked.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hot-point-was...ryZ71256QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

[matchboxpaul]

close to my heart this one

my grandparents replaced this type of machine with their Hotpoint liberator dryer in 1973/74.

But they, for some reason, didn't scrap it!

I came along in 1978 and it became mine through to about 1983/84.

At that point my grandma had her kitchen and utility rearranged and I was ASKED whether the machine could be disposed of.

I said yes.

If the machine wasnt so very far away, I would definately seek to right that wrong.

Question though - my grandma always called it ACME Summer Breeze, as opposed to Sun Breeze!
I am perplexed as Summer Breeze sounds more likely than a Sun Breeze and yet it definately looks to be the latter.
Was there ever a Summer Breeze?

same old story.....

just too far away! again I have looked.

Another great looking Bendix 7124 circa 1985/86.

Just waiting, like the proverbial bus, for the third one to come along.
Two chrome round door Bendix in the space of two/three weeks, where previously there had been none.

Weird.

Fab Zanussi! So 70s! I love it!!

Hi Darren

WOW and WOW!

Can't wait to see your Zanussi! I so absolutely love the 1970s and any machine from that time to me is fabulous!

Its a shame you are having to part with some of your others but I totally understand. Us as collectors if we don't have the room just have to move machines on to get new fantastic machines! We never get bored that way and at least we don't have too many so the ones we have can be used regulary to keep em going.

the base model Hoover Autosense dryer

[matchboxpaul]

I am assuming that this version of the Creda 275 was sold through the Electricity Board shops - hence Creda 275E.

Anyone know?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Creda-Tumble-...ryZ71254QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

[matchboxpaul]

I include this because i think this one is an Aristocrat version - hence a tad rare.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hoover-Aristo...ryZ71256QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

[matchboxpaul]

This one has sold, but i include it because of the sheer fantastic condition and the fact that it is a DIAMOND version.

Look at that asking price - the price sold is incredible too.

Whoever bought has a fantastic looking machine - indeed when i first saw it (and before I saw the price) I ws very tempted at the prospect of ownership.

[matchboxpaul]

Right - getting really hacked off with this everything superb is down south thing.

My grandma owned one of these from about 1982 through 1988, before it went mad with PCB issues.

When i saw it last night I was instantly ready to buy - then i saw the location.

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why is everything always soooo far away.

a Servis Mk320 Slimline Electronic 1000

p.s does anyone know much about this series as the 320 was the only one i ever saw. I know there was Mk318 (850rpm) and Mk320, Mk321 and Mk322 all 1000rpm.
I asume they all looked identical but with more or less buttons?

The 9972

Hey Paul

IMHO that was worth every penny of £115- someone got a bargain .

Either it had only been used a few times or thats a bloody good recon lol!!!
