UK Classic Appliances - February 2015

[vacbear58]

January is over already so time for a new thread.

Lets kick off with a Hoover Spin Dryer, not a spinarinse as it has no pump, gravity drain only. From June 1973

Another Carron

I have seriously considered this for my own kitchen, but not really got room for it. A Lovely example - in Derby

More like 1980s, but quite stylish

Tricity President

Mid - late 70s version of this classic - a bit pricy though

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-R...itchen_Ovens_Hobs_Cookers&hash=item3cf1b9b96c

 

[vacbear58]

Another Belling Range

In better condition than the one from last month. Interesting to see that the second "oven" is in fact a hot cupboard. The old cooker control switch looks interesting too

Hygena Sink Unit

Belling Cooker

Late 1950s I would reckon, in Cornwall

[vacbear58]

Creda Highline Corculaire

Want want want - I always liked these cookers from the point of view that the oven was higher than usual (I am tall) and the eye level grill. This has a fan oven too ...... In Worchestershire

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CREDA-Hig...27a5c8e6144720b5836cc2b8ae9b9b&pid=100005&rk%

 

[vacbear58]

Creda Topline

The previous cooker's TOL sister - this one is a bot more of a project unfortunately

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Creda-Top...itchen_Ovens_Hobs_Cookers&hash=item2a4bb63bf1

 

[vacbear58]

Another Topline

A bit earlier than the previous one - looks nice though

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Creda-Ele...itchen_Ovens_Hobs_Cookers&hash=item234ab33a86

 

[vacbear58]

And a Horizon

This is the earlier version (mid 70s) of the Highline shown above - the Highline and Topline names came from Jackson - when the companies were joined under the same group both brands featured side by side but as time went on the Jackson name was dropped.

Nice and clean, but expensive for what it is

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Creda-Hor...itchen_Ovens_Hobs_Cookers&hash=item3aa1a4e1a4

 

[vacbear58]

And another Belling

Who would have guessed that there would be two of these cookers on at the same time - this one in London

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-6...itchen_Ovens_Hobs_Cookers&hash=item19fb5c94b2

 

[vacbear58]

AEG Dryer

I assume this to be a 1980s Machine. Near Derby

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AEG-Conde...9c16de860d849b7d&pid=100005&rk=2&rkt=6&sd=121

 

[vacbear58]

Another 1980s Dryer

Bendix this time. A late version of a machine that had been around a long time

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Small-Tum...140122125356&meid=44ee64f3089541228b36a5552ab

 

[vacbear58]

And here is the earlier version

This was more commonly seen as a Bendix, but badged here by Hoover. I would LOVE this but its too far away from me in Dover. Its quite pricy too, as is the previous one

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Great-HOO...024?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item58be2b22b8

 

[foraloysius]

The AEG dryer has the big opening, so it is probably second half of the eighties, early nineties. It's a "U" (Unterbau) model, which means that it was meant for placement under a counter. The fascia is different too from the freestanding models. The freestanding equivalent would be the Lavatherm 740 (picture)

 

[vacbear58]

Worth it for the parts alone

Bendix Dryer 1970s

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-R...85040a29ec284d70b3dd7de4a5796312&pid=100005&r

 

[vacbear58]

Hotpoint Dryer

These are not a favourite of mine (gasp!!!) but lots of people like them - good price too

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hotpoint-...56&meid=2ccade0e6b13431cbacd30758dc32d47&pid%

 

[vacbear58]

Hoovermatic 3334

And not bad at all for the price

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hoovermat...773?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e9959b055

 

[vacbear58]

Electra Dryer

Its a Creda of course, could be mid 1970s onwards. Looks clean. In Maidstone

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-E...c141248ca17d157b8d5688&pid=100033&rk=2&rkt=4&

 

[vacbear58]

ANOTHER Topline

And another variation, ceramic hob but conventional oven. In great condition for the price and age

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Retro-Creda-Cooker-/191506549190?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2c96ae09c6

 

[vacbear58]

English Electric

You know, doing this is a great way of following back appliance history - I would recon this to be in the range 1963-1967

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-1...475?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c4ddd2b5b

Electric Cooker Control Panel

And not for silly money either.

This style of cooker switch was used for maybe 40+ years in the UK. This one is post the 1970s style update for the switches. For any US/Canadian readers its not actually unlike a US style outlet in construction. The SS front its essentially just trim and unscrews to leave the switch/socket assembly behind. The cooker/range is isolated by the switch on the left and the socket on the right can be used for kettle etc. The countersunk mounting box is HUGE!

In the UK we still use similar switches but they are rather smaller now
