    "Press so, presto! That's the end, the end of washday!"

    Good morning everyone! @ron I often wondered why the Keymatic was never exported or licensed across the pond like the Hoovermatics were. It would have been a solid competitor against the Westinghouse Laundromats and Bendix washers of the time. I'm just so relieved that I found one on my own...

    "Press so, presto! That's the end, the end of washday!"

    The machine is in quite good condition and there are no major issues, just a few small things that need sorting out. The tub leaks from the gasket between the tub front and the outer tub itself, it just requires reseating thankfully. The spring clutch made a low-pitched squeal when the pulsator...

    "Press so, presto! That's the end, the end of washday!"

    This is primary evidence that regularly putting up your wanted adverts pays off - all it takes is some patience! The machine came from Belfast and it is indeed a very lucky find that came at the perfect time for me. It was very well looked after by an ex-engineer who kept it out of sentiment...

    "Press so, presto! That's the end, the end of washday!"

    Afternoon all, I'm surprised at myself for not posting about my most recent find here yet but now that the initial shock has worn off I thought that now would be better than never. Can you guess what it is?!

    Hotpoint Supermatic 1400 - My Christmas Pressie!

    Ian... I assume you are referring to the NI Railways 80 Class? Those videos were taken during a trip to Belfast a few years ago. They are proper trains, sadly only one set is in service now as a Sandite unit. James

    Hotpoint Supermatic 1400 - My Christmas Pressie!

    Hi everyone, I just thought I'd let you know what's going on. The machine is currently stripped down and I've been focusing on some parts in particular for the time being. First of all, I've found someone who can cast new spinner lid support brackets for me at a competitive price so hopefully...

    Help with Hoover A3260: fix, repair or scrap?

    Hi Rob, I'm not that familiar with Hoover washing machines but could it be that the timer cam barrel got damaged or 'flat' in a particular section causing the timer to stick in the relevant part of the programme? A repairman may have then fiddled with the timer wiring to avoid that damaged...
