See some old washers at my place

[foraloysius]

That AEG is a lovely machine! They were built like tanks and there are still quite a few of them around. Congratulations on your classic!

I agree...

....with Louis....

They look just gorgeous with those graphics....shame we didn't get them here...

The 'drop-door' loading platform was one of the key reasons I bought my mothers ASEA Cylinda 12000 in 1989....

I have a ASKO too, but i sell that now, becouse she looks like really great, but at wash she is really boring...
1500rpm from 1997 bought in australia

 

[foraloysius]

 I've never really used an Asko. I would love to play with one for a while. Why do you think they are boring?

 

[mielemondia757]

Oh, I have washed with that. 5 Rinses and only 1 Spin after 3rd rinse...

this is my new Matura Autostatic 850 Impuls-Automatic

 

[mielemondia757]

and this is my new Miele De Luxe Electronic w453 Sensor Electronic
It does spin with 1100rpm and is from 1977

 

[ronhic]

Why do you think they are boring?

They aren't really, but you can't watch the spin if they have the drop-door....as soon as you open it, the spin stops and won't restart until it is closed...

They are a fantastic machine...solid and reliable...

 

[mielemondia757]

what?

This ASKO havn´t a switch at the drop-door, so she wash and spin with door open. As I have checked the washer from Inside, I havn´t seen a switch there, only some springs for the drop-door

This ASKO havn´t a switch at the drop-door

Interesting....

The ASEA's from 1989/90 certainly did....

Washers

A great classic collection of washers, and the weight of these machines means you wont want to move these around in a hurry!!

Heres a video of the dryer to match your Bosch V475, its Richards from Bristol, (RichUKBristol) and the unique feature it has is the two speed programme, the faster speed being for the woollens, it pins the woollens to the sides of the drum without dropping & stretching them...

Matura Autostatic

Well done, Jan, lovely collection that you have there.
I remember our former landlords owning this Matura, exactly the same.
But before they ordered this one, they had the older 3 knob automatic by Matura (read: Quelle department store/ catalog retailer)
It had some gray control board, 2 knobs on the left (cycles and temperature) and one on the right (options, cycle selections), it had a somewhat smaller porthole and a very noisy pump (music in my ears).
Anything known about that one?
Still remember that flickering red glow of the pilot light in the middle of the control panel....(let alone the hissing sound of the scaled internal heater when going to 95°C).
You'd have some brochures to scan and share? Would be awesome!
Cheers, Joe

 

[mielemondia757]

Hey Joe!!
I´m Sorry, I havn´t any brochures about this Maturas...
but here a other picture of Maturas thre on the left site, there is the Matura ÖKO 850 next to the Autostatic is the Matura Sigma
The Matura Autostatic is broken

 

[fredriksam]

How did the Matura Autostatic burn? The pump is easily changed on these machines.

 

[mielemondia757]

The suppression is broken
That looks great!!

 

[mielemondia757]

This Electrolux I get from Bauknechtboy.
the bearrings are broken and she doesn´t heating.. it makes 1200rpm

 

[supremewhirlpol]

Jan:
You have some very nice comsumer FL machines! Only if those were sold in the US. Like your Goldkind too, I bet it jumps all over the place! Your vintage Lavamat machines look to be built really well.

 

[mielemondia757]

Oh thanks I really like this Eudora washers too them are so fast at wash and makes fantastic sounds!!!

BTW this is the controllpanel from my miele w761
