☹️ ~ unfortunate that you couldn’t demonstrate the dryer function as the heater elements for it have “shorted to earth” as I assume because it is vintage they are obsolete and can’t be replaced 😔, the shuttle cool-down looked similar to the rinse cycle on the compact Eudora washing machines
Good to see the machine. My Aunt had this same one back in the mid 80’s . For its time was a good machine but very expensive!
If this machine was £700 in 1979 it would cost over £4400 today.
And people complain about the cost of living today. No wonder most people either bought white goods second hand or rented them back them.
this vintage washer dryer is ultra rare, too bad I haven't seen it at home in France

changing the bearings of this washer dryer means dismantling
The drying heating elements have shorted to earth, causing the machine to trip the fuse board
Vintage années 1980
needs new bearings
