L10

Hello all, i remeber the L10 well ,as years ago i sold a used one to a relative.Well when i say sold i think i got 2 bars of choclate for it.Paulc was right it had a metalic copper/bronze coloured facia and knobs.It could have been the first connection between Hotpoint and Indesit as they were an electronicaly speed cotroled machine fitted with G E C brush motor as used in Hotpoints of the time.The motor in previous picture is probably equivalent replacement, as all the ones i ever saw were fitted with a G E C motor.I think it was the first Indesit fast spin machine 800rpm,sold here.I vaugley remember there being a matching tumble dryer sold here, that i think was souced from Zerowatt..Docker that L8 looks great congratulations .Regards Nige.

Hi Nige.

From your description, I can safely say that I dont jave any recollections of an L10. Sounds like a smart looking machine though - ushering in bronze way before Hotpoint did.

Thanks again for the exploded diagrams you sent me - hope you dont mind me posting them here. Seems that there is a hotspot of vintage Indesits in South Africa, where I think they might be useful.

Paul
p.s hopefully one of them will be useful to me very shortly!

A very basic table of UK sold (hence the 'GB' and 'G' in many of the model numbers) Indesit and Hirundo models, as listed in the various years of 'Which'magazines.

The rough dates of the magazines are shown.

Hirundo models are in italics, underneath the Indesit model from which they are derived.

Unknown pieces of info are highlighted with grey shading and question marks and the table goes right upto the point at which the Generation Innovation and Generation 2000 machines were introduced, circa 1982.

Will post some pics of the machines shortly.

Any info gratefully received.

Cheers
paul
p.s the last two Hirundo models are place outside the table because I am not totally sure of the Indesit models on which they are based, though the 520rpm Hirundo will probably sit underneath the Indesit 099AOG.
