Philco...

I remeber very well those Philco...early '70 I suppose...
But didn't know there was the Frigidaire WM available here in Italy either...
Oh...by-the-way...
Here you are some of mine's...

They're very more recent of Marco's ones! But Ignis is always there...that machine has a such logn history that it'd be impossible to forget it!

Philco/Bendix....

A friend of mine at primary school has (or his parents had lol) a Bendix Home Laundry Centre that was very similar to the Philco washer dryer with the controls on the back panel.

Another friend had a Indesit L5 in their kitchen- I always found the top mounted powder dispenser facinating for some odd reason lol. Another thing I remember is it stood next to the sink but wasnt plumbed in- it was used from the Supatap with an adaptor.

*waits for someone to ask what a Supatap is lol*

what is a supatap?

Hi Seamus, what is a supatap? Whid on earth did you get fascinated by the top dispenser of your friend's Indesit? Anyway I remember those models with the door so small as compared to the larger than usual front...
 
Catalogs!

Hi actually I don't have any older ones from the more valed appliances. I really like toes ones on the Philco front loader and combos you posted. I wish I was able to read them better.

Miele late seventies...

Miele more classic machines. I bought the W 439 in 1980 and it still works great after 27 years. Never serviced!!!

Hi bewitched,
I really love your catalogues.
Can you please post the catalogues above in a bigger size???, just like the ones of Miele that you posted.
 
Grazie MARCO!

Yes...just because Marco really loves Miele!

Il tuo grande amore per la Miele si vede dalla qualità di conservazione dei tuoi cataloghi...proprio come io tengo i miei Ignis!

OMG! But when did you find the such a lot spare time to scan all those catalogues' pages!?!?!? I suppose you have scanned them in few times...

Anyway THANKS for sharing! (come si è sempre detto da queste parti :-))

CIAO!

PS: devo dire la vertià...credo di essere stato uno dei primi italiani ad approdare su queste pagine, ma ora che non sono più solo leggere nella nostra lingua madre mi fa un certo effetto :-)
 
philco machines

The philco range were sold ore in the UK under the bendix name, similar looking but the bendix had the square door surround on them. They were fantastic machines, with the criss cross wash action wich washed in a figure of 8, back to front and side to side. The rex machines were the same as the zanussi washers over here. Supataps were introduced in 1970 as mum and dad bought a new wimpey built house and it came with supataps on the kitchen sink. They were like tall stems with the taps facing down on the end, they had little ear type nodules for gripping the tap to turn it. Mum had an indesit L5 washer, and she used a tap adapter on the supataps before it was permanently plumbed in. I think it had chains on it to secure it round the tap.
Memories from 45 years ago.........
