Thanks for taking tge time to scan and post this report - we are doing well for UK reference works today, and some machines that woudl be lost to posterity. Some quick points after my first read through:
£112 - GEC. WHAT £112 GEC???? The only reference to a GEC washer I ever saw previously was a twinnie in 1960. So, could it be a variation of the Hotpoint? or the EE? Or something else entirely?
Curious that EE stil had not got that hot water filling business sorted out, it had been like that since the first model in 1960.
That Stokvis looks like it has an interesting control panel. I have an Ideal Home article from 1968 (I have previously posted it on here) which shows a Philips full size H axis washer - I wonder was that a successor to this one?
This must have almost been the last gasp of the Parnall Spinwasher. It such a shame that this model range did not continue. It is curious that the semi-auto version tested the previous year had a substantially cheaper list price (from memory it was about £85) which put it very much on a par with the top end twinnies like HMDL, Supertwin & Supermatic. I presume that the mechanicals would have been much the same for both machines and I would not have thought the electronics and associated equipment to make it fully automatic would have made such a difference (it does not seem like much now but it is more than 40% difference if I have my sums right). It appears that the Parnall models were the only British auto (or semi auto) washer to have a suds saving facility although the operation was very different to that of the US machines.
A great lunch time read

£112 GEC
Al I wonder if its related to the Morphy Richards automatic?? I didnt know they did them until I saw a price list on a MR sales sheet - I assume they are derivitives of the EE regime machines...
Great scan Paul, thanks for posting!!

Servis....
I wonder if Servis have enough spares in stock for to be able to build another MK42 ?? they do state that they intend on stocking spares indefinitely...LOL

Well according to ya man who has all the spares "yes, they did" all we need is a machine to use them on .....Lol

thats just it Mike
I've salvaged so many spares, we just need the machines to fit them to, though on the otherhand it's not as though we are short of projects to work on either lol.
Hi Al, I think the GEC and also a Singer automatic are shown in a later 1960's which, which I dont have, they looked continental from memory, nothing like the English electric/westinghouse designs
With reference to the liberator 4027, it really was only a visual change in design, the controls were moved to the top, and just correspond to the dial and red thumbwheel of the 4021 and 4023 machines, it was still a single direction tumbling action, using the three belt transmission. I think they ought to have been viewed and advertised as simply a cold fill machine requiring one tap connection, with the option of adding hot water if you prefered, I'm sure most people who had them plumbed in never used the hot fill option.
