RE: Switch Yeah you're probably right. I'll get my uncle to check it out. All the wiring is intact I think it's just the contacts on the dial. It clearly moves and locks with a little click. James.

Update! I'm 75% done with my repaint. It turned out ok for an amatuer. I did a full body repaint instead of just touching up here and there. The lid turned out great too. I got a little paint on the badge and the seal though so any ideas on getting that off? Also I have a little electrical...

Mathew Thanks for the warm welcome. James.

RE: Fill Hose Yeah I realised that, I'm currently chatting to the person that "electron1100" recommended. I'm also contacting my local appliance retailer who stock ancient Hopoint parts so no reason why not to find a hose there. I will upload some pics of it's repainted condition when it's done...

IT WORKS!!! Well I had done a little painting today, the body has a coat on and needs another, the lid has been repainted silver and turned out lovely. I took off the back panel and no wires were rusted and motor was slightly seized but freed easily. The tire on the pump pulley was cracked and...

Paint Hi, I have bought white appliance paint for touching up the body and silver for the lid. Will they tie in with the aging paintwork? What can I use on the dark grey skirt at the bottom? Black? I've checked underneath too and luckily no rust! The big switch on is tonight and hopefully not...

Hi Paul, I never thought I would meet people over an appliance LOL! Thanks, I was very thrilled to find it and when it's pristine again I will christen it "Tilly" after my deceased aunt I never met it came from. I think I should be thankful for my parents respecting my interest and my find, if...

Tim Hi, It's not located at my house but at my granny's house 2 miles up the road and I'll be there tomorrow to try it out and there will be pics tomorrow night. Does anybody know where I can source spares? James.

Hi everyone, My name is James and I was previously known as "HotpointJames" here. At the young age of 15 I have found my first item for my collection... a Hoover 1321A Top Loader circa 1960's! I haven't seen much about this machine here but it was built in Britain and it was my long deceased...
