Vintage Twin Tubs and Washing Machines Wanted!

thejamesrankin

Just signed up,

I'm a young collector of vintage electrical things but mainly vintage washing machines. I live in Donegal and things are surprisingly hard to find.

I have 3 machines so far: a 1970 Hoover Single Tub, 1975 Hotpoint Spinner and a 1975 Hoover Hoovermatic De Luxe Twin Tub (very rare!)

I'm looking for a Hotpoint Twin Tub with a silver control panel from the 1970's or so but the later one with the brown lids and brown control panel would be a nice machine too.

I'd really like to find a Hotpoint or Hoover Automatic of the same era too, particularly a Hotpoint Liberator with a purple door! Keymatics are ok too.

I don't really mind if somebody has something interesting far away from me as I will try my best to get it if its rare enough.

Hope you's will have the answers, James.

Yes but why pay 300 for one put them when I can bring them back to life!

Shame I missed out on the ones you got rid of... I hope you might have something though. Even Automatics.

Thanks James
