A friend offered this to me about a month ago and I finally made it over to pick it up today. THANK YOU SCOTT!
Something "new" to play with (#1)

Now I have TWO twin tubs! This little Hoover and my littlier (is that a word? LOL) Maytag A50.
Scott was kind enough to GIVE this to me, all I had to do was go pick it up! Again, thank you!
It came with LOTS of extra hoses, belts and two pumps, one new in the box. He said the pump leaks (if I remember correctly). He also included a number of older cleaning products. Very cool!
This was also inside with the extra parts. If I was not part of the AW.org community I would have NO CLUE what this was for... but as I am, I do know! A program "key" for a Hoover Keymatic washer. Very cool! The photo shows both sides of the "key".
Yet another surprise in the bag of goodies was this Maytag cup(?) with lid AND the...Maytag... um... scarf? Perhaps it was meant to be something to cover the top of the machine? What ever they are for, they're VERY neat!
But wait, there's MORE!
Then there was this little box with this familiar logo printed on it......

I opened the little latch on the front, then opened the lid to find........ WOW!
What is this for??? For testing the timer or testing the machine itself??? Any idea how old it is or what machines it's for???

Here is a close up of the "control panel".
Again, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH SCOTT for everything! There was a lot more in this little hoover then I ever expected! WOW!

Rare Hoover
Wow! That's one of the early poly-tub Hoovers, just when they moved from the rounded bodied, stainless versions. This is also a very rare color that was only around for a bit. Not to be confused with a different shade of turquoise that was introduced later. Kevin that's a great find. Does it actually use that type of pump you have pictured (old style)? If so that's even cooler, plus this style pump is the same as the ones from across the pond, I'm not sure when they switched over to the pinch-valve types so I'm curious.
Cool other stuff too, but I'm a Hoover addict...

Wow Kevin
That's a good haul there. I've seen one of those testers somewhere before.

How fun - that Hoover washer was one I found years ago here in Omaha. I think the guys in the UK helped to get the new pump to him (the other one with the leaky streaks is the bad one off the machine) That's the only one of those turquoise tub Hoovers I've ever seen, I found it in a second-hand shop in a friend's hometown of Tekemah, Nebraska.
The Maytag "scarf" was actually a dishtowel that we made and gave out at one of our wash-ins here. I still have two huge bolts of that Maytag fabric - we cut a bunch and made those towels with my mother's serger. Let me know if you need the matching duvet, I have plenty of the stuff! ;-)
That Frigidaire tester is for the Rollermatics - the different plug units match up to the different machines you might have encountered in the field. I have a couple of versions of this, also look rarely used. I would imagine the more experienced of repairmen didn't use them much - they could tell by "ear" and instinct what was wrong.

Geez, Kevin, that was a whole pile of great finds there. The colour of the Hoover tub is perfect, BTW!!
That Frigidaire washer analyzer is just amazing, too. You could open up your own washer service place now!!
Congrats!!

The Hoover
Don't forget the perfect companion to a Hoover twinnie, is the oh so sleek Hoover portable dryer. You can wash and dry at the same time, but you'll end up drying more than washing. These are really neat, but you would need a 25A service to run them both from the same circuit, that dryer takes every bit of 15A.

sweet!
There's always something new at Kevin's house! I love the color of that Hoover. You could line up your Hoover and Maytag twin tubs and get an assembly line going --- wash, spin, rinse, spin.
