Those are

The later Sunbeams, they use a standard Lamb motor, unlike the older ones that used a Sunbeam built motor.

They either use a single fan or double fan Lamb motor - which is still available for a very reasonable cost - new. I believe the machine on the left (flat on top) uses the single fan motor, and the one on the right uses the double fan motor, which is why it sits up so much higher on top (to make room for the larger motor).

I have a couple, both are seen here, one like you have, and the other is a Courier.

LOL I love how you had to extend the shelf for your Rainbows!! What's that canister to the left of the Sunbeam Courier?

 

[ultralux88]

LOL, it does look like that, but for whatever reason thats the way Dad built the shelf. I have more Rainbows than will fit up there though.

That blue and white one is a Douglas, very cheaply made simple canister, has PN too.
