Philips AWB098

[antonrob]

Have noticed one has just sold on Ebay for 52.82. A lot of money ? although it stated as being in working order so perhaps not too much to pay for a rare beast.

If it is fully functional it's a bargain.

Valuable Philips

I had better keep our Philips AWB098 in good running order then. I wonder what its value might be with a full box of 'critical' spares such as motor, programmer etc ?

Is there a link..?

LOVE those old Philips washers. By any standards, for a washing machine in full working order, £52 is a a bargain!

can we have a photo of the front please?

I may have one of these, it is an AWB something, don't remember the number. It's about 400 rpm spin, Italian made, induction motor, not the Philips DC motor.Dark brown dashboard.

Mine is right at the back of the shed, hard to get to, hence I don't know the number.
It might be 094???

Hi Chris.

Be great to see your machine and know which one it is!

Did a small bit of research of Philips model lineup, expecting it to be simple and easy to understand.

TOTAL POLAR OPPOSITE!

Branding i.e model 808, 707, 606 etc bore no resemblenace to the model numbers.

Then they did loads of obscure exclusive versions for UK independents. All in all, trying to fathom Philips out is one big ARRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH.

To know what a possible AWB094 is, would therefore be very useful.

continuing with the back - now nice and clean...

Behind the back panel...

ickle Permag motor, with a belt that is stripping - edge shreds were all over the base of the machine, so a new one will be procured before it is used in anger...

Polymotor Italiana...

Outer tub produced by C.I (Polymers) Ltd - the same company that produced the outer plastic tubs for Hotpoint.

Just a shame that the date is mising the year...

For comparison, here is the outer tub sticker from mine and Rob's Hotpoint 95620...

The weird depth proportion of the Philips machines, of this era....

Here is the AWB098 Super Variatronic before external cleaning commenced...
