@thekylejohn1 .... not for the moment, I am afraid. The variable 18580 is now at its new home, whilst the purple one requires an outer tub repair. Nothings ever simple in vintage appliances!
@TheJamesRankin ....cheers James. Will hopefully get the purple jobby up and running soon.
The 18580 will be being delivered to its new owner shortly and, barring some scratching on the right hand bodyside, is in storming external condition - should be a nice machine - another 18580 is safe! I make that 4 or 5 in safe hands, plus Lee's lightly differently coloured 18680.
cool video, they are both good Hotpoint Washing Machines. which on are you filming first? I bet I can guess what year they are both from. The one with the purple door from 1975 and the Hotpoint 18580 or 18680 which ever one it is 1979 or 1980.
@hotpointking ... how do there. Dont know which one will be filmed first - got some hectic wekends ahead, one of which might be delivering the 18580 to its new owner. If that gets done soon, then it will probably be the 18580 that will be a star of a show first.
@ilovemiele1 .... not for sale on ebay. It was bought off it though, though I hasten to add that its not my machine. Will be heading to its new owner shortly.
My mum used to have one of these machines, bought it new in 1979,Just before i was born, and kept it until 1987.
