I like the design of the British Hotpoint uprights of the 1980’s. Here’s Beko1987 putting together a Hotpoint Junior upright on YouTube - very interesting!

Were you able to ask by dad who is long deceased Hotpoint never made anything even halfway decent.

Their copy of the junior was, well, good enough.

My non-Air-Way Holy Grail is probably the Toshiba VC-A, a pre-WWII Japanese release of the GE Standard. After the war, Toshiba switched to the smaller VC-C model in the second picture.
Thank you for all your photos that showcase your awesome G-E collection and amazing restorations. Are you hoping to (or do you have) the entire fleet until the early '50s?
I posted these on another thread.

Very nice.
Oh, ok. Well, I'm glad you posted them just the same. I have yet to come across another thread with so many photos of G-Es. Apparently, they're not as popular with VLers.
Ah, so you have a G-E "Sweet 16"—very nice.
How does it compare/contrast with its contemporaries in terms of performance and features?

Is the sweet sixteen the machine in post 46?
Yes, but "Sweet Sixteen" is my name for it; in reference to the "Sweet Sixteen" 1600 Series Eureka canisters of the early 1970s. I know Hoover300 is familiar with Eureka and has quite the collection of Eureka models from c.1910 to c.1950.
