Alex from the uk Hi Louis and chris, I've been away and not checked in for a while and have just come across this thread. Just wanted to say thanks for thinking of me. All the best Alex

Hey Ian, Thanks for the reply. It looks like I've quite a challenge on my hands, and it may take a while for parts to surface I guess. I've a question or two for you Is your timer from the model with the rotary indicator? And do you think it likely that a keyplate will ever surface...

Hey Chris , Just to say I hope all is well? And that you are a complete star!! It's also great to know that it's possible to find a keyplate that will work. I'll drop you a proper email soon. But honestly mr thank you !

And relax Hey mike, I've had my cuppa and relaxed a bit now. Thanks for your words of wisdom. I am going to hold on and see what happens. My only other vintage washer is a hoovermatic 3334, I've re wired it, replaced the tyre on the pump and plugged a few leaks on the spinner, but this...

Suspension is killing me Hey mike, In you're opinion how complex a job is it to restore a keymatic?? I mean if I wanted to go so far as to open her up, strip her down and try my best to completely restore her. And by that I mean replace all faulty hoses wires etc and return originals where...

Spares or repair Hey mike, lee and Chris, thanks for getting back to me. It looks like this is going to be a long haul project I guess. I'm trying not to be too disheartened by the state it's in and the fact I'll probably never get her up and running but it does smart a little. I've been...

Where do I begin??? It looks like the pump has been replaced at some point. The wiring looks ok but to be honest I haven't a clue where begin. Much of the internal rubber hoses seems to be in good condition. However the belts look pretty worn and is there something missing from the back of the...

Just had a quick look inside Hello again folks, So I've had a sneaky peek under her skirts and this is what I've found...

Gizmo Hey, thanks again for getting back to me and offering up so much so generously. I've dropped you an email because I didn't want to take up too much space with my many questions but just wanted to say thanks again for taking an interest in this thread Alex

Door seals and replacement parts Hey Ian, I've been thinking about what you said about getting a boot made but it being too expensive just for one. I've been looking into plastic injection moulding companies to see about getting a keyplate copied and that too seems expensive. But what if all...

FKC lol ; ) Hey Paul, Hope all is well? Thanks for the advice about the boot. I'll be careful with it. And thanks for the link too. Your flat keymatic looks way ahead of its time, I just love the way it's styled. I remember as a kid having an old hardback book of how things work and it had...

OMG!! Ian and gizmo thanks for getting back to me. I haven't as yet had a chance to get the back off. It's been a mental week at work and there just hasn't been time. So I have no idea what lies beneath. I've had a look inside the drum and it looks like the impellor disk has broken off. ( I've...

Love it What a wonderful machine. Great to see an old girl washing again.

Hello folks, For a long time I have been voyeur of this site and all of you're amazing collections! Never really having a proper classic machine of my own. But that changed about a week ago and this is where I could really use your collective wisdom and guidance. I am now the proud keeper of...

Ebayer Yep, nick's my other half Thanks for getting back to me. Im not sure what else to do. Ill wait and see if any suggestions materialise. Thanks again mr.
