It is in good order for something that is getting on for 55 years old, the moulded door interiors are often prone to cracking and breaking. But actually the Lec is not bad either considering that these were at the cheaper end of the market and would have been built as such.

More English Rose
Its funny how these things always seem to come in groups for here is another one, I wonder what appliances were in this kitchen as there seems no provision for them in this layout.

1980s style
1980s kitchens are not generally not something I care for much, and this is typical version of a more simple style although I do not believe this was a cheap kitchen by any means - it would have been quite common to have something like this with cherry red handles. The flooring looks more 1970s, but the cupboards and fittings look far more like mid 1980s

POS Dishwasher 1
I am posting this more as a curiosity than anything else. I have no idea how well these dishwashers performed but I have them definitely filed under "cheap and nasty"

More cheap and nasty, this seems to be similar to the one just posted - what did I just say about these things coming in groups - I cant believe someone is actually bidding on this unless they want it for the curiosity factor

Servis, from after the brand toppled from its former quality label - apparently working seven years ago, it was probably lucky to have kept going that long

Although similar metal construction to the English Rose metal units of the post WW2 period, these do not have the ER classic retro feel to them, I doubt they will get £750 for it although the built in bin is a novel feature.
By the way, just harking back to the 1980s kitchen posted above, the wall paper featured in these pictures is typical 1980s.

Just the thing is you have a lot of washing and a three phase electrical supply. Apparently from 1997

MR Mixer
Missing its stand but with the original bowl - these were sold all over Europe under various brand names - Krups is one. Around from the mid 1960s this version from the early 1970s.
I am very curious to know what is under the counter below it, but what ever it is its not for sale

Same mixer
complete with bowl and stand, this appears to be new, as stated before this is from the 1970s although the Made In Republic of Ireland indicates it to be mid to later 1970s

The Hoover twin set further up the thread was owned by an elderly lady customer of mine and many years ago I used to maintain those units for her. As far as I know she stopped using them and sent her laundry out when she started having hone helps. I think that was probably about 5 - 6 years ago at a guess.

Thank you for the information, it always interesting to find out some history of machines. Did you modify the Spinarinse? Not feel like getting them for old times sake?

I'll go for it being a Hoover matchbox dryer.

And I am inclined to agree with you Ian, or very possibly an Electra equivalent.
However I think I see a glimmer of red (control knob) and what looks like the number 30 at the "12 O'clock" position - I will be checking up on it as soon as I get home - but my guess is the matchbox

I must admit I have thought about it but funds are limited at moment. (The joy of extended family with 6 kids) I don't remember modifying the spinner,but it could be one of the other engineers that worked for me. I will try and find out.
Out of self interest

SERVIS INT
That same Merloni made Servis semi-integrated D-washer lasted us for years, the best dishwasher we ever had.
