You might be lucky. There’s one on eBay at the moment for a 108 but I think it’s the same size. Here’s the link https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F193357619067 Good luck

I think these machines have more than 1 capacitor so could this be the other capacitor this time perhaps shorting to earth? I'm not totally convinced as you say its doing interim spins but these could be at a lower speed and not using the same terminals. Just a thought.

Fab thread Mike and some great colourful pictures of a lovely pride weekend. Love the one in reply 58 where Richard is being a geisha girl and nearly knocking me out with the patio brolly! Great to be able to work on some of these old machines and learn new techniques from each other. S :)...

Fab to see all these Rob and very true on the dreams! Lol Mathew. And if only it were £2.35 for 50 weeks - very affordable now!!

Hi Hass. Our Neff built in washer/dryer from 1980 had a variomatic button for the final spin if you were doing a wash n dry programme which was not too dissimilar to the rhythm spin and I understand it was a Zanker built machine who also did AEG. Al has an AEG version from the early 70s which...

Wow leon Looks stunning and love the set-up you have their at the front with the kitchen unit and table. Lots of hard work I'm sure but totally worth it S

Its also great to have the Servis up and running again - needs a bit more work to get the washdeck water tight as water was getting onto the lid switch and tripped the electrics - makes you wonder how many people got a zap in the days before such devices! Mike - did you also say the spin can...

On the colston here are a couple more pictures showing the tiny spin motor and pulley arrangement below. Everything seemed really loose but it is missing a plastic dogclutch as shown in the Qualtex parts book so new ones have been sourced along with the spin mounts and a spin belt. Special...

Thanks for capturing this fab weekend Mike - lots of great memories with lovely friends and that cake was something else - it even had its own agitator using the lid off a tube of berrocca and filling it with smarties - work of art!! So good to get some of the old machines up and running again...

Servis Hi Adam We had the Servis quartz here with its spincare drum. It had slots at the front and back and was slightly bevelled to the middle. Here are two different models with the same drum. It was designed to be more gentle on clothes. S

Oh if only time could go slower during these meet ups. The new space that Al has created is brilliant and shows the fabulous collection of machines beautifully. Its been great to help move things into place and have time to play and fix things too.i think Al is not going to be too popular with...

Hi Mathew It was worth getting as it made the job so much easier and especially as I was a bit worried in case the backplate was a bit delicate - they have such a reputation of going thin. I had seen some before but they were very expensive and I just thought it wasn’t worth it. I wonder if it...

Thanks Nick. Will post the pics up on here when I get a chance to start it. In the thick of building works at the moment Cheers S

Hi Paul It’s great to see this machine still in its box with the free samples. It reminds me of a machine that one of my friends parents had when I was growing up but there’s was an earlier one. It still had the coloured buttons but they were smaller and the panel was a turquoise blue. It used...

Great set up there Ian and some lovely machines in your fab kitchen. Brings back memories of a few friends kitchens when I was growing up. Love the red of the Servis. Is the cooker the NIB one twinned with my top loader per chance? They always remind me of home economics as we had an array of...

Cooker Thanks Mathew and Craig The funny thing was that I don’t look at cookers very often but this appeared in a search and it must have just caught the corner of my eye. I’ve posted the eBay photo below so you can see. I think there’ll be more stuff like this out there I’m sure. Just hope...

Hi Paul Great pictures there - looks like the module may well have moved - the servicing manual seems to point to it adopting the now familiar position. I can’t work out on my one what the other two components are - one might be the motor thermistor but I’ve no idea as the manuals I have start...

Hi Paul Ah yes - I was lucky that when I got the dryer it had the strips attached- must have been stacked to a matching washer and then just sat on them as the studs and wheels had been removed. Unfortunately they are a bit damaged but still do the job. I hadn’t realised that there were...

finally all back together and the cosmetics tidied up. Unfortunately the control panel has lost its matt areas but the writing is all intact. Mission accomplished and washing away. There have been a couple of issues with the water valves letting by but I have given them a good clean and that...

Knob time – I was a bit nervous taking these apart but it was worth it as they cleaned up quite well. Didn’t want to rub too hard though just in case.
