Well I'm happy with my 26 years old car and my other older cars...

Sure, on audio forums we use to say "Variac and DBT (Dim Bulb Tester) are your friends", also 10mA RCCB.

Yes, also a lot of these videos shows how to ruin a component. Seen a video (now deleted) of an Alpage AL-300 cassette deck service, (that's my other hobby), these units are very difficult to service, the guy was showing exactly how to not service it... - All the screws in the same box, the best...

Along with the fake restoration and the free energy videos, yt is full of that crap...

I second that about the Wreck & Destroy 40, banned this out of my workshop since 11 years, now replaced by common sense...

Thanks, it's the "Malice" chassis first introduced in 1996. I might have that sensor in my pile of used parts.

Sadly good French brands are dead, nowadays they're just names on cheap made machines... De Dietrich was a great brand back then, specialized in kitchen appliances. They never made washing machines but thy sourced them from different manufacturers such as Bosch, Thomson, Brandt, Fagor, until...

Interesting documents, thanks for sharing (y) I scan almost every weekends since five years for feeding my websites with catalogues and technical documents about French machines, so here's some tips for better scans : Don't let the computer or the super smart & easy scan software choose...

Amazing work ! Is it possible to make bigger parts such as front loader door seals with this process ?

Banned the wd40 ten years ago, never unblocked any bolts with that useless product. Now I use a 50/50 blend of acetone and ATF Dexron II, cheap and easy to make and always a success.

Brandt Statomatic BX541GR, looks like an export model since it has symbols instead of French writings, maybe the GR in the model number stands for Greece. http://statomatic.e-monsite.com/pages/photos/brandt5.html

Very nice machines, I like the Brandt frontloader made by SanGiorgio. The Thomson looks like an S30-55, very simple machine, so simple as the on/off switch is door safety switch ! Here is the schematic of this machine : http://statomatic.e-monsite.com/blog/articles/thomson-s3055-et-s30575.html...

So cool ! I'd like to see a fully transparent compressor, or even nicer, transparent evaporator or condenser so you can see the refrigerant changing state.
