Some of us got together at Jons house last weekend and had a brilliant time playing and servicing some machines.
He is an excellent host and all i can say is the weekend wetn far too quickly

Here is a picture of Jon with his favourite Hoover Twin Tub, he certainly operates it with ease

As you can see Mike is smiling because his favourite make of twin tub turned up having been re-sprayed by the very skilled Bob

The Computer Logic in Action

After all the fiddling and cleaning we were all treated to an excellent wash and (rare i know) balanced spin from the mighty computer controlled 1300 Logic

More Machines

Here it is in situ under the computer control Logic dryer, in the company of other Hoover washers and dryers, a nice collection

meanwhile

Richard looks on as Neal And Bob discuss something to do with the fantastic 1950s Ferrograph valve tape recorder sat atop the equally lovely Eastham Burco tumble dryer that Richard had become the owner of

Great stuff Gary!

Looks like a grand time was had by all.

Neil's skills with the spray can are superb, arent they! When I saw the restoration job he performed on John and Mike's 3301L, i was mesmorised ('s' or 'z' ?) by the results and stood staring at it for a fair old while (see piccy below).

His MkII Supertwin, in that lovely shade of blue, is also a lovely machine to have a gander at. A shame Servis moved away form the various colour offering, as the MkII looked great. Can only imagine what a red, yellow and green version would have looked like.

What was up with the A3492, that required an internal operation be performed on it?

Again, a really smart set up of john's, with his middle room.

Have never seen an A3492 (or that style machine) lit up before - imagine that, with matching dryer, on at night! A veritable light show indeed.

Glad you got up there safe, after what must have been a marathon drive.

p.s Mike - your Senior looks great! Shame there isnt a 1970's style house. With Jacks videoing skills, I am sure that a remake could be produced!

Yay for Wash-in's and Wash-up's. I love how vintage laundry gatherings have become an international rage! Who would have ever though?

Those pictures are just wonderful, thanks for sharing Gary.
 
Meet

Hi Gary, many thanks for the photos, a grand time was had by all!!!, just wish it was happening again this weekend, although I think we`d all need extra mult-vits..lol, many thanks to John & Ray for hosting us all...

John had spent a couple of days installing the plumbing so all the Hoover washers & dryers are plumbed to go, the ComputaLogic had a rather irritating rattle, couldnt work out wether it was pump or brushes, then confirmed it was the door solenoid, so off it came and was fixed to run!! This machine is sooo smooth and all those lights in the dark make it look like a christmas tree!! and with the top off couldnt resist shining that tub..fast washes , great rinses & smooth spins...fab
