Taking the big lid off the top first reminded me of the portable dishwasher my aunt had back in the 80s. The top had that exact fake wood look to it for the same reason: to use the top as additional counter space in the kitchen. When she needed to wash dishes she would wheel it up to the sink, connect the dual-hose connector to the special adaptor on the sink faucet, then....open the *top* up to put dishes in! It is the only time I have ever seen a *top loading* dishwasher!
Oh wow! That dishwasher sounds awesome, I did have a Thor from the 50’s, a top loading washer/dishwasher combo 🥰
My late grandmother had one like this well up into the late 90's and she would wheel it up to the sink every Saturday morning like clockwork and do all the loads.
When it died after about 30 years she wanted another twin tub but my mum talked her out of it and she got her first front loader in 1999 and she hated it.
That only lasted ten years, shows these old machines were built better.
10 years for a front loader is fantastic compared to the plastic rubbish they make now.
@@HooverLux But she moaned that her old twin was better made.
My bush front loader is 12 years old and still works fine and it's had a hard life.
That is a cheap Argos one too, it doesn't even have a display.
Hey dorian 👋 after many tries i am finally back on my UA-cam account!! And i now finally have not 1 but 3 twin tubs ! A 3314L HMDL from 1972-3 and a 1983 hotpoint 1464 and a october 1990 hotpoint 9414, great to see that your doing well ! And lots of new videos to watch now for me 😊
Welcome back! Fantastic
Fantastic. My mum n dad had a supertwin Wen I was little. It was running bad when they got it. Till dad replaced the flat tire. It worked like a dream.
This is late 70’s with mechanical pumps and three control dials. Later models had sycronious pumps and two control dials. The much older models that had black agitators were amazing washers … the ones like this shown here with blue/ gray agitators and cone style drives suffered with wear and distortion substantially the agitators dragged on the bottom of the tub eventually cutting a hole in the drum
I’d much prefer my Hotpoint, I don’t know what u think?
This brings back memories. My mum had this twin tub when I was a kid, then it was to my Nan who used it up until the early 2010s 😊
Oh wow! It lasted absolutely years! That’s lovely to know mate, thank you 🙏🏻
Remember seeing these in electrical shops in the late Seventies when we still had our Hoovermatic which my mother refused point blank to change. A place i went to on rehab in 1983 had one of these but i never did full loads of washing with it, i only used it to spin my swimming trunks dry on one occasion. If you put too much soap in it...oh brother!
Glad it brought back some memories for you 🥰.
This would make a great TV advert for Granny's soap flakes with all the slow mo effects it would boost a lot of sales!!
🤣, I like them, just wished I could have added some scent beads because I do like a little bit of nice scent.
When using the brake lever it is less wearing on the brake band if you allow the spinner to slow down first using the control knob before applying the brake lever.
Ah ok, cool.
Thank you! This is the particular TwinTub I wanted to see! I was it on anther channel about 10years ago. I think the name of the channel was organboy.
Ah ok, I do remember people asking me ages ago to do a video on this, glad you enjoyed.
Wow that brings back memories my late mum in the late 70s/early 80s had the exact same servis twin tubs amazing video 😊
Yes my granan had the same machine and only wish they make them nw with the cost of electricity nw days and the spindry is the best as clothes come out bone dry
@@Bigjazman99 yes indeed the twin tubs were certainly quicker than some automatic washing machines 😀
Thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video.
They’re definitely quicker, but so darn knackering 🤣
@@HooverLux yes true I am of the opinion that servis and Hotpoint made better twin tubs granted the hoover twin tubs were good but clothes tanglers lol 🤣
See a rally good UA-cam video keep up the good work on UA-cam
Ok thanks!
Very late 70's The Servis Supertwin Mk2 was the first model with square controls on the top of the machine instead of the round buttons on the front. Followed by the super twin 70 exactly the same as you have here except it was all white and the spin can only had one lid not two. The brake arm was black also. All future models were identical except in colour but the operation was the same. I have an instruction book for the 70 somewhere. Sadly nobody has made a video of the 70 but many have been made of the super twins first built after the single tub version which also had a mangle.
Wow, you have a lot of knowledge mate, I’m just happy you liked the video and thanks to Phil for letting me film him 🥰
Mk3 was the first model with square top controls
My parents had the 70 model when they were first married, they had it years, I can stil recall the odd noise it made 😂
The Servis 108 was made 1978 to 1981.later versions of the 108 have stretch belts fitted on the spinner and pump and V belts with a tensioning jockey pulley on the early versions
I’m glad they did away with that 3 step safety lock in the spinner 🤣
My first washing machine, a hand me down from my grandmother in 1994 when I bought my first home. It was good but a pain in the ass to use as a regular washer especially after a long day at work 😢
That’s why I only use mine a few times a year because I’m have to have 3 months enthusiasm build up and then use it and after say, never again! 🤣
we had this exact machine it was purchased in summer 1980.
Ahhhh, nice, fun to use but boy they’re hard work 🤣
I never saw those machines here in the States. I don't see the harm in not dumping the water each time as you would have the much dirty in water if you did one bigger load in a larger machine.
We did all the washing as it was done back in the day, it looks horrifying now 🤣
These machines were available under the Speed Queen brand in USA
Do you ever sell them i love servis
I’m afraid not no, you’ll probably see some up in eBay or gumtree etc, they’re pretty rare now to find one in perfect order.
I'm desperate for one of these 😊😊😊
They’re fun to use definitely
@@HooverLux I bet hope I can find one some say
I have the original instruction manual for this machine
Oh wow, I have the one for the later model 🥰
how could I get a service twin tub?
Lots of luck and saved searches on eBay , gumtree and FB Marketplace
Does the spin can have a brake or does it use the tention of the belt?
Ah, yes it has a brake on it that’s connected to the lever, but how it works exactly, I’m not sure.
@@HooverLux I think it is connected to a micro switch on the motor and a friction pad on the spin can to slow it down and stop it
@@stephenchecksfield632 Yeah, something like that, I knew someone with more knowledge would answer 🤣👍
@@HooverLux 😂 very true I think with the later hoover twin tubs they had a safety interlocking door where you had to lift up the lever once to stop the spinner and again to open it 😉
No brake fitted to the Hoover TTs with the latch lever interlock. The brake on the Servis 108 was a band one wrapped around the spin pulley and operated by a tension cable connected to the brake lever mechanism.
My parents had the earlier model to this one, Think it was the 70 model
That’s so cool, I’m glad it brought back some memories.🥰
How many rpm?
Think it maybe 1300?
