thanks Its great to know you might have one .It must be like Christmas when you come across a load of gear like that / Please let me know when you can get your hands on it regards Antony

Made a start on this today .the pump was stuck solid so i thought i would do that first .once i got it off the machine and dismantled i found it wasnt in too bad a state .A strip down clean and plenty of lubrication put that right .the wiring is in a bad state and there seems to be oil seeping...

This is mainly for the Uk members .I saved this machine from the scrap man today and while its in good condition and runs well its on/off switch is broken[stuck in the on position and red button missing] .I know its a long shot but has anyone got a spare . Will post some pictures tomorrow

Hi all Can anyone tell me how i can make this machine take more water .At the moment it barely takes enough to dissolve the powder and its hopeless at rinsing so much so that i have to add water through the soap drawer to get a decent rinse . i know its the pressure switch but I'm not sure how...

well i decided to fit an electric pump to the machine and it works well . i have not done anything drastic and the pump can be removed leaving the machine in its original state . once empty i can let the hose into a drain and remove all the water from the pump and the tap arrangement is still...

facinating stuff .To think that machine was in production for all those years and that GEC set up clearly a hotpoint hiding in there . I have always liked those parnall machines .there was one in a flat i rented back in the early 70s .Not only did it do the washing but it allowed us to have a...

Hi darren It cant go in the kitchen.We have just had a new kitchen fitted and as you can imagine a state of the art kitchen and a 70 year old washing machine dont get on very well so for the time being i will have to play with it in the garage or outside when the weather is nice .I have...

Anyone noticed the ridges in the lid ?

Well I have just done a stupid thing .I have managed to put all the photos of the finished machine on Andywash s thread which has a similar title [Early Hotpoint Empress ]Hope he isn't too annoyed with me . I will now attempt to put them on here .keep ya fingers crossed and away from that...

sorry Andywash the photos were meant for my own thread that has a similar title .I dont know how to remove them

well I have a new old stock hose from a twintub .I would just roll it up and put it in the cupboard when not in use and when it is being used it would come out od the bottom where the half moon cut out is that way i don't have to cut any holes in the cabinet just stick a cork in the hose end...

All Done Here's a few photos .Already managed to scratch the wringer but i can touch it up . As you can see the back is held on with bolts not those silly self tappers that shake loose . Some hard work with that brillo has got the tub looking nice. Photo 7 shows the worn nylon bearing from the...

Hi all i will ask her when i see her again. As for the tap well there is a slight drip when the tap is open but its fine when closed. I have no idea about the adjustment on the end maybe there was originally a bolt right through the whole thing with the rubber washer attached to the end so as...

Hi All .Well i don't think many will have survived because they were prohibitively expensive and very heavy on water .I only ever saw them in well to do homes and i don't think they were marketed well as i said we had a demonstration model in the show room but i never saw one in any of the...

Yes I attended numerous training sessions on various machines .All held at team Valley Newcastle. I remember doing one on the commercial version of the jetamatic .These were the ones used in frigidaire Launderettes [same machine no heater the hot and cold being mixed as it entered the machine...

bit of interesting reading there keith. I wonder if any of those venues would have the see through Jetamatic?

yes its great to know the history of the machine and its only had one owner all its life . Well i finally managed to get this tap thing apart [The machine has a slight drip when there's water in it] The rubber washer is rock hard and needs replacing it just a run of the mill tap washer so no...

yes I see you have the beefier version .I cant imagine why anyone in the Frigidaire design team would think that small motor was a good idea but both machines were simple and easy to work on .I prefer these two models to the later Phillips clone with its flimsy knobs and all those hoses on the...
