A big hello, Louis

Can't see this till tomorrow on a friend's computer, But delayed gratification is a beautiful thing.
 
thanks Louis

Thanks for the link, great video of the vintage Philips. But oh, that slow spin and him wringing out the towel afterwards LOL. Now, did you see that old top loading Constructa there next to it? Wonder who this is, do you know him? Looks like he has some nice machines.
 
That Philips was apparently also sold under the Bauknecht label. So nice to see one still running. I remember a neighbor had one when I was a kid and it was on a 380 Volt outlet, perhaps they just modified the plug and used 220 from the only existing outlet.
 
Perhaps there was a joint venture just on this particular machine long before Whirlpool owned Philips and Bauknecht.
I`m still 99% certain my neighbor`s was a Bauknecht.
As to 380 Volts, it was common practice in German 70`s Waschküchen to cut off the Schukoplug of a 220 Volt machine and use an existing 380 V Perilex outlet just on one hot leg and neutral and ground. The only Schukooutlet in the room was permanently occupied by the spindryer.
I was just wondering if this machine was capable of wiring in two different Wattages.
 
I could be wrong but AFAIK Bauknecht never had a toploader with a glass lid and the controls on the front.

I know that outlet and plug! My mother has the same one. It was introduced in the seventies and was introduced for appliances with a heavy draw. The ground plug was more secure than sidepins on a normal Schuko plug. As a matter of fact nowadays you hardly see them anymore. Those were 220V plugs, the 380V ones have five pins.
 
I think we might talk about different plugs. The Perilex I`m talking about is an obsolete system for three phase power.
Any L wired to another L was 380 and any L to N was 220.

I was still a child back then so I could be mistaken but I could swear it was a Bauknecht.

 
CC 1000 ... my dream !!

Louis, the HA 2960 is so lovely with that glass lid one can see through .... but IMHO Philips masterpiece is the CC 1000 . If I'm not wrong in late sixties Miele hadn't 1000 rpm and a 47 liter drum yet. So it was a real 5 kg toploader (unlike latest Brandt : 51 liter ... 8 kg)

Here's an old thread about it you started two years ago

 
Obod-Bauknecht

Just read your last post in the old thread, about all the joint ventures between Philips, Ignis and Bauknecht.

I was aware about diswashers factory in Neunkirchen ... but I hadn't any clue they have another plant in Montenegro. I knew it when i saw this vid on YT.

The dishwasher in the vid has a true bauknecht design. In Italy was even sold badged as Sangiorgio (before Brandt puchased this badge). Well built machine with 3 spray arms.
One schoolmate of mine had it for ages. I had the next serie ADG 666 D (year 1985); these were the first machines using only 22 litres for a complete cycle with prewash

Pipe to YT vid :

 
bosch?

For mrboilwash, I think the washing machine you think of was a bosch:look at my site, "image de la semaine" in the menu and "lundi 3 mars 2008" (go down), there are 2 adv. of this machine: philips and bosch. See you

 
Now I believe it could have been a Philips machine which was also sold under the Bauknecht lable in Germany and as a Bosch in France.
Philips had great products like shavers and casette recorders, but their white goods did not have the best reputation here. This might explain the rebadge.
Our neighbor always used to soak her whites overnight in the bathtub before boiling them in that machine. I always thought that was an exaggeration but apparently it did not wash very well due to a very short washtime of 10 min after the target temperature was reached.
 
Louis what a cool washer, thanks for the video.
I am a sucker for glass lids, the water spin drama is a great feature.
The width of those types of washers would be great in the US. And would solve a lot of problems in small spaces here, mainly in the city.
I only thought Phillips made Records and turntables.

Darren,

Philips doesn't sell whitegoods anymore. They started a joint venture in the late 80's with Whirlpool and Whirlpool bought them out in the early 90's. That was the end of Philips washers, dryers, ranges, fridges etc. Philips might not had the greatest reputation for large appliances but they were very inventive. Those products stood out from other brands.

Louis
