Old/Vintage/Retro Appliances in Donegal

thejamesrankin

Evening all,

I collect and restore old appliances (mainly washers and dryers) for a hobby. My shed is like a sanctuary for them! I believe that its a piece of heritage that deserves to be recognised so I started a collection and grew fond of the history and workings behind them. It's an not very common hobby but a fun and rewarding one. I only have a skeletal collection at the moment but I would like to request the following specific models in hope of building up a grand collection over the years. Hopefully at least half of these models are around the county in some form or another. Although I'm posting specific models and pictures I can accept variations of the older models since they are harder to find.

I shall start and hope for the best...

1970 - 1974 Hotpoint/Gala 1600/1830


1978 Hotpoint Liberator Range


1979 - 1982 Hotpoint Range: As above but with brown trim
First Microtronic below


1983 - 1986 Hotpoint Range




1986 Hotpoint 9530



1987 Hotpoint 9901 Combination Washer/Dryer


1990 Hotpoint



1995 Hotpoint WD22 or WD31 Combination Washer/Dryer


1997 Hotpoint WM73


Thats all I've got time for tonight, I'll post one or two other models tomorrow from other manufacturers.

Thanks, James

Hi all,

A few months have went by now, I have one machine to get rid of, it is in great working order but it is just not the model I am looking for. Anyone see anymore machines lying around deserving to be preserved?

James.
