Hi All, Thanks for the recommendations, i did purchase a set of hole cutters from Amazon, and some sheet rubber, however 4mm rubber can be quite thick to cut through, but that said one of the hole cutters is a 28mm hole which is the requirement for the inner hole so i guess the outer ring...

Afternoon All, I am trying to source a flat rubber washer for a vintage washing machine i am currently restoring. Does anyone have any contacts or know of any manufacturing companies that could possibly produce some ? The dimensions are: OD: 37mm x ID 28mm x 4mm thick. Any help would be...

Hi Adam, I have one of those machines in your second picture "Perobot" - all-in-one unit (spinner and washer together no separate tubs) there is a porcelain spiral pulsator in the base of the wash tub, which spins at high speed. Check out my youtube vid Regards Keith

Hi Alex, Interesting you say today is National Laundry Day, here in the UK I am attending a lecture this evening on "The Art of Laundry" at a local college. Cheers Keith

Thanks Paul & Mark, I will update the thread as and when I make progress, it is such a highly engineered machine, everything is made to the highest standard - very intricate!! I have now removed the drive plate and tub to spin tube seal, tine to get a new one made :) More info to come...

Hi Mike, I have added a pic of the tub pedestal which encloses the spin tube and agitator drive shaft. I didn't do a complete strip down, only as far as the drive plate as the friction blocks had worn and I replaced them, it wasn't until I looked further at what I thought was a simple...

Morning All, I am not sure if anyone will be able to help with this but I thought I would throw it out there just in case anyone has any bright ideas. So following on from finding my all-time favourite washing machine, the Servis All-fabric Automatic from 1966, I think there maybe a small...

Afternoon All, Thank you so much for the lovely comments on my acquisition of the Servis All Fabric Automatic. I am so over the moon with it, the styling and finesse is second to none, the engineering of the time was so high, everything on it is so precision made, i guess this is what made it...

Good afternoon all, My dream has finally happened, after nearly 25 years of searching, I have been able to get my hands on one of my all-time wish list washing machines from the 1960’s. I was contacted many months ago by a lady in small village called “Newall” just outside Burton-on-Trent...

Hi Billy, Out of nearly all the US twin tubs the model you have is my fav - when I visited Lee Maxwell in Denver he had one. Lovely styling !! Take some pics and post it sometime. Cheers Keith

Afternoon John, I think the tub light bulb has gone on the Westinghouse LTF-600, would you know is this a standard blub or specialised bulb ? Kind regards Keith P.s - still looking for that badge - one day hopefully :)

Morning Justin, (Countryford) Just thought I would drop you a line to see if you had any luck with the Westinghouse badge ? Happy to pay all shipping costs. Regards Keith

Hi Justin, Apologies, I was looking at your location on your profile. I sent the mail to that on your profile - [email protected]. ? Can you let me know if that’s not correct Regards Keith

Thanks Austin, I have emailed you :) Regards Keith

Re-posting - Westinghouse LTF-600 Morning All, I know it is a long shot, but I am trying to locate a Westinghouse “Heavy Duty” badge for this machine. Happy to pay all shipping costs etc It would just complete this wonderful machine. Cheers Keith
