Some treasures

OMG Bjorn...

I sooo hope I am a bit confused and it wasnt a Creda square door - see the 10200 below - that got scrapped. ooooohhhhh the pain!

A basic rule of thumb (for this forum anyway - totally different set of rules for the blue forum obviously) could be that if anything remotely vintage - say pre 1988ish (dates are down to the individual) arrives on your doorstep, and you have no use for it, mention it on a thread. See if you get a reaction.

Please dont let it have been a square door Creda - pretty please!

Cheers
Paul

or a .........................................................................well..........................................................the list could go on and on and on and on and on.

Great stuff.

Hi Paul / Bjorn I think we are all desperate for one of these LOL!

At the very least pics and perhaps a vid would be great one day.

My Nan's best friend next door neighbour had the square door above. It used to really take off on spin and would do lots of short bursts. We used to drink tea in her kitchen and I couldn't keep my eyes off it! Apparently the timer went and it was scrapped sometime in the early 90s. It was bought in 1979, probably the last of the square door Creda's.

Hi Paul,

Wasn't the square door Creda but was one of the black fascia ones. From memory it had 3 orange buttons on front, not two tho!

I do try n hook out anything that might be of interest but have to be bit selective because of space. Will make better effort to post on here for you all thou..... watch this space!

Just had quick look at scrap pile, ony thing that might be of interest to somebody is a Zanussi DW900 in white. Bit grubby and tired looking, but with your capable hands should come up ok lol!

Classics!!!

Hi Bjorn, lovely classic collection you have there!!! those Zanussis where mega popular, but many people where quite dissapointed with the spin speed after using twinnys!!! I remember using one when i homesat a friends house and the washing seemed a lot wetter than coming out of Mums servis 850rpm at the time!!!

Are you a service engineer or do you work in a repair shop etc?? personally am always on the lookout for brown Servis models purple Hotpoints and anything else obsqure!! (which is probably a lot for this hobby)

let us know where you are, my appliance buddy from brum is interested in your stuff, both washers n vacs, he`d love to pop along etc??

RobM, Ohhh Trident, blast from the past, that takes me back, thats where I started out in electricals, fabulous days where they, all the big names, plug in demos, in store demonstrators (you know the sort Max Factor Faces, American Tan Tights & Killer Heels!!! marvelous) all out for the sale!!!

Bjorn, am needing a dryer for this creda electra, was it similar to this that went by the by?? Congrats on the Hoover dryer, that one missed me by, which is one I`ve hunted for a while now!!! cheers, Mike

Oh Mike I am soooo envious! What a lovely machine. I'm so pleased one of these have survived. If you get a chance to take anymore pics (especially the drum) or indeed a video that would be great! However, I know how time consuming it can be, so no worries if you can't!

I hope you are well and I watched and enjoyed very much that documentary on youtube.

Take care

Rob

Here is the Creda Brochure from the 70s

Hi Mike,

I'm the owner of a shop/service centre in Lymington in Hampshire down on the south coast. I'm a tv/audio engineer by trade, but fell into repairing appliances about 15 years ago because always been keen on them.

That looks very similar to the Creda that was here, will keep my eyes open for any little nuggets for you!

The Hoover washers I want to keep as really like old Hoover machines, but others could go to good home.

Think i was lucky with that Hoover D6042 on ebay, only found it by accident. Will take photos of that and the Autocare 800 when they here. Should arrive on Saturday YEY!

Also, has anyone seen the vintage AEG washer/Dryer on ebay yet? Looks really cool
