Thanks Marco....
for posting all those catalogue pages - really fantastic!
I never knew that some early Philips front loaders had the programmer dial on the right hand side of the facia. All the earliest machines I remember sold in the UK were of the left hand programmer facia style. Seeing Philips machines with right hand side programmers actually looks a bit weird!
The first Hirundo image - my dad repaired one of these machines for an Aunt of mine when I was about five years old. It was badged as an Indesit though - but was identical in style and construction. Nice to see one again.
And finally many thanks for the Philco series of machines. This is the first time I have seen a clear picture of the Cyclotron. This machine was sold in the UK in the mid 1970's and I only ever remember seeing one as a child.
Do any of the UK members know whether the rest of these Philco machines were sold in the UK as well?
Once again Marco - many thanks for sharing these adverts/catalogue pages. They are great.
Cheers

"Fate Bene!"
Is that Robert's long lost Italian sister?

Hi Peter! What does "Is that Robert's long lost italian sister" mean?
"Fate bene" just means "you're doing well".
Hello Paul. I'm happy you enjoyed the little selection of pages from the catalogues I have. Unfortunatelythe filesize is too small to make these pictures easily readable...
I think Philips machines sold in your country were made by a different manufacturer. Here they were made by Ignis, an historical brand here in Italy and now owned by Whirlpool. I'll try to post more pictures from an early eighties Miele catalogue soon.
Cheers

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*

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...

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.
