WANTED ! ...vintage Hoover information (att.: launderess, et al)

[unclejohn]

Hi!

-INFOS NEEDED-

I'd like to know a few things about the old Hoover 'twin tub' washers, such as U.S. model 0510 & 512 (if someone could provide infos as well about CAN models 0610, 611, it would be much appreciated...) :

--> Old sale price (approximate) of the then brand-new machines, circa late 1960's?

--> Example(s) of retail store(s) that demoed and sold the 'new' Hoover washers back then?

--> Models 0510/512 were made in the U.S., but was the model 0500 imported from the U.K.?

All info will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

uj

Think that I've just found something interesting . . .

Launderess,
thanks, anyway.

Original sale prices: That kind of data is extremely difficult to get these days, we have to hark some 40 + years back in time...

However . . . CHECK THIS OUT (link = a page from The Pittsburgh Press, april 1966) :
