1950s women There was a programme on UK television a while ago which I believe is on you tube. It was called " time warped wives" some of you may find it interesting . I certainly did .

Hi Keith Absolutely no rush for the filter flow spout , its not like i dont have an alternative washer! Would love to see the photos of the Vactric , i also have a contact who could possibly get the machine from Scotland to me in Yorkshire for a very reasonable price , then you could come up...

Hi Mike Can we see the rest of it please?

Hi Mike , Yes , this is the machine from Stafford and generally it is in great condition. As you said , all the internal hoses have been replaced but the filter flow spout is absolutely buggered. I looked at the ebay listing for the one that Darren bought last year and that one appears to have...

amazing only last week i bought the instructions for a Vactric wringer washer, the next thing i was going to do was scan it , post on here and ask if anybody had one in their collection. Al , you saved me all that trouble. Unfortunately i dont have one but if one should crop up i would...

Hi boys Well the filter flow spout is worse than it looks, it now spurts water from the sides and over the edge of the machine. The other emptying outlet is fine as myself and Austin repaired that a few weeks ago . A more modern spout won't work as we have already tried that and it is...

Hi boys , I'm on the scrounge again. I'm not sure what its correct name is but I will call it the filter flow spout / outlet which on my Hotpoint twin tub is very badly corroded. Austin and myself had a go at repairing it but its beyond that point. Would anyone have any idea where I might get...

Thank you For taking the time to comment and your kind and positive remarks. As for your other comments , young? Handsome ? I think both of those are well behind me now but I shall accept your remarks with open arms . Thank you again X

ipad apparently you do it with imovie , its an app! When it comes to technology kids definately have one over on me. Thanks for all your nice comments. Al, hope you are well , are you planning a trip up here this summer , i do hope so. Love to Lee

I left my 12 year old niece with my iPad , she obviously got bored and made this video which I just had to share with you. The first couple you see is me on the left and my godson on the right so I'm not some kind of cougar. Hope you enjoy the video ,I wish I knew how to do this stuff.

Tide washing powder As most of you will notice all bidders except me have "0" feedback so obviously a hoax but why?

Servis twin tub I don't think the person bidding on this is a member here. Whoever it is also recently bought an old servis wringer machine and the very early Hoover single tub with hand wringer which finished yesterday. Obviously a collector but who?

Vintage Tide Washing Powder Are we to presume that the white powder inside the box is perhaps not washing powder? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Tide-Washing-Powder-/121209440021

Hi Adam I am only about 25 miles from you so f you ever feel like trying your hand with a wringer or twin tub drop me a line. Best Lance

Powerglide I have just realised that all the way through this thread I have referred to the machine as a superglide, it is of course a powerglide.

video of the super glide i have made a video of the super glide however i am absolutely crap at uploading videos and adding links so if it dosnt work i appologise in advance. I have also done a quick tour round the garage for a look at the other machines. The superglide wringer is working but...

Keith Thank you so much. Yes , I have the block on the end , the roller which is in there is complete , just in very bad shape. My email address is [email protected] I look forward to hearing from you and thanks again. Best Lance

Dyson I really thought they were made in Britain, so much so that I bought one. I must admit , it really is a great vacuum but I didn't realise it wasn't British made. How very dissapointing.

Thanks Mike and Matthew As you can see its in a pretty sorry state. I have never heard the tip about sanding the rollers, My Parnall top roller slips quiet a lot even though the rollers are in very good condition. Should i sand just the top one or both. Once again thanks for looking out for a...

Thanks for the advice About the wringer. The belt etc is absolutely fine but the bottom roller is very badly worn , misshapen and cracked yet the top one is almost as good as new.
