Well done James, a fantastic find. I can't believe that I'm actually seeing the real thing. Looking forward to seeing your progress with this. Please don't keep us in suspense with the other machine, especially if its as exciting as this one! Ian

Wiring Mike I've just been and had a look at mine and the wiring on that comes round the outside of that LHS upright too, I did think that it was a bit close to the rear panel when its on, perhaps this was something that was changed early on. I notice that Mikes machine has the numbered...

Mike I've just read your post and looked again at Mikes pictures, it looks as if it may have had a repaint at some time, there appears to be some blue visible under the screw clips in pic 5. Feb 61 makes it earlier than mine at Mar 61 with commission number 23812, and there was me thinking I had...

Hoses Lance/Al Thanks for that it looks like the way to be going. Ian

Congratulations Mike Richard is right about the start switch, I'm sure the timer motor shouldn't run when you first switch on, pushing in the key should start it. I'm sure someone with more knowledge than I will come along soon. Mine had this problem at first, now it just cycles through without...

Mathew Thanks. I've dug a couple of belts out of the garage this afternoon, I'm not sure what one is, it's used but doesn't look long enough to be off a Dolomite. I'll try them on when I have a moment and measure the one it came with and let you know. I'll tip it over and take some pics too...

Quick Inspection Having an hour to spare I thought I would do a quick inspection to see what was needed. The wash and spin belts are missing, I do have somewhere a 111 wash belt that I might see if it will fit but I'm not sure where to get a spin belt as I can't find anyone who lists for Mk19...

Richard You've got further than I have with the Mk1, I've had a quick look and found much the same as you have. I'm glad you've posted the pic of the spin belts as I was wondering if the Mk2 belts would fit but it looks like they are quite different. Good luck with the resto and keep us posted. Ian

Keith £45! That's more than the machine cost. Ha ha Mike I noticed that there should be space for two hoses in the back panel, perhaps that's where I should be going, I'd probably leave the pump hose in the suds return. You know I always wring as much wash water out before loading the spinner so...

Supertwin Thanks Al. I must admit I was expecting it to have gone for a lot more, pleased it didn't though. I do like the red ones, I can't think that I'd seen a red and cream one before so I thought I'd go for it with it only being 40 odd miles away. I went back in the archives here before I...

I just thought that I would share some pictures of my latest arrival. Collected yesterday I've not really had chance to have a good look at it yet. From the quick look I've had so far its going to need some belts, the two pictured came with it but weren't attached. I'm guessing they are the spin...

Supertwtin Steve I've been eyeing that Mk 1 up all week, I think I'll have a go on it as its not too far away. Ian.

Spin Can Thanks Mike, much appreciated, give me a ring. Ian

Darren Happy Birthday! Ian

Mike Looks like you had a good weekend. I'm liking the Keymatic pics, are the later keyplate readers open at the bottom? I've just had to go and have a look at mine as I thought it look different. I love the AEG, I didn't realise that they had the rinse tube, I'm guessing that the huge chrome...

Al That's the one, I must admit that I was pretty quick with it, as you say so long as you don't look at the numbers or think about it you can get some speed up. I always found using only the digits one to four and trebling three for nine was much easier on the wrist ;-). We could have done...

Comptometers Al That's taken me back, when I started in the Cashiers Department at GEC in 1985 they were still using 'comps'. Mine was a Sumlock 993s electric model and I loved it and was still using it up to about 2005 when it unfortunately seized, by this time it was the last one in the...

Early 1970s Denonair One of the rarer Debonairs. Al Not too far from you either! Ian http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/spin-dryer-/301912877965?hash=item464b68eb8d:g:GsoAAOSwgApW-nzA

Richard If its that close to home then its probably worth it if you can get it for £20. You could put a pump on and have a bit of fun with it, either that or it could be handy for spares. Ian

Under That Counter Al I'll go for it being a Hoover matchbox dryer. Ian
