Servis

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the Servis picture, my 308S seems very slightly different in the fact it has an electric door release but otherwise it is identical to the one in your pic. I am not in the least surprised that those machines are still running today they were really well made and their design was way ahead of anything sold in the UK at that time. The later Quartz models (Plastic tub) were very reliable machines indeed and for the first time offered 1200 RPM spin speeds. Have you ever seen any of the Hitachi front loaders from the 90s they were mechanically Servis machines except for the cabinet?
I will post some pictures when I am able to tidy my wash room up a bit it’s not very photogenic at the moment.

All the best.
Hugh

Blomberg

Blomberg makes Blomberg, but is owned at the moment by Arcelik S.A. which is a Turkish company. I think Blomberg machines are still made in Germany, although I am not too sure about the model in the picture. Blomberg has a history of different owners. Until 1978 they were an independent company. Then they were taken over by the Austrian company Elektra Bregenz. According to their website they became part of the Italian EL.FI company (I have no clue about that company) in 1992. In 1994 they were turned over to the Brandt group in France. There they stayed until 2002 when they became part of Arcelik.

The link goes to their (German) website.
