Hi all Totally forgot about this with focussing on the the motor and my holibobs (can’t wait to get back and fiddle with the keymatic again, all I can think about!) I know it’s a massive ask and extremely unlikely but I meant to ask if anyone possibly has a key plate reader itself? Mine is...

Hey Richard It was you mentioning the issues you had with yours that got me thinking I best have a look, so thanks for that! Thank you also for trying to source a workshop manual for it. Also do you possibly know if it’s correct that the square box with the gears in should be full of oil? I...

Basically I’m trying to ascertain whether there this should be one whole piece that raises when the lever is pushed making both contacts touch or if it’s correct that when the lever is pushed only one contact is pushed? On this motor the lever slips about and will push either contact...

Hey all Don’t suppose somebody might be able to tell me if the contact on the switch inside the motor should be one full piece or if indeed they should be separate and the lever shouldn’t push them both up at the same time. I have circled the one in mine as I’m unsure if it should be one...

Sadly her timeline strip is gone, and god knows what else :/

And here she is, she’s beautiful but needs a lot of help

Hey Chris, Thanks so much for your help, myself and many others on here will really appreciate your help in our quest to get a batch of new boots made! Of course I’ll happily reimburse postage costs to you, least I can do. Thanks again. Best wishes Cam

Also Chris, I meant to mention that if you would like payment for it I’d be happy to do that. I’ve received a lot of help and support of the wonderful people on this site, the least I could do is try and help in their quest to get their machines water tight! Best wishes Cam

Hi Chris, If you would be willing to send over the boot you mention to the UK I’ll send it off to a rubber manufacturer I’m now in talks with, they have gave me a rough estimate but to give a more accurate price they’ll need a sample and the one on the one I’m getting will be worthless. I’m...

Hi Chris Thanks for your message. I’ve just realised its a different style to a V belt, thanks for correcting me. I’m quite a novice as you can probably tell! I too have been looking into having the door boots remanufactured, the quotes I’ve received are ridiculously expensive. I’ll keep on...

Hi there Mike, Thanks for your message! I’m picking her up on the 24th, I can’t wait! I imagined both belts actually need changing after all these years as they’ll likely be stretched and perishing? I’ve managed to source a belt for the pulsator but am on the look out for the poly V belt...

Hi all Wondered if anyone might have for sale or know if a source for the motor to drum belt? Would really appreciate any help. Thanks Cam

Thanks Nathan, there’s so many kind and helpful people on here. I really didn’t expect much response. I’m fascinated with the diagrams Mike has sent me, I can’t help but keep looking at them and just how over top Hoover went with the original Keymatics, bet they was a nightmare for the...

Hi Nathan If you ever want to sell it keep me in mind :p Kind regards Cameron

Hi Mike Thanks for all those diagrams, interesting to see just how over engineered these make monsters really are! Will certainly help on my quest to get her back up and Running again! As for the key plate it does have that red one you show in the photo, just seemed like more existed, going...

Also if anybody wants to sell any key plates that suit this model I’d happily buy them! Thanks again! 🙂

Hi there, Thanks so much for your message! Some beautiful machines you have there! I’m collecting the 3224 in a few weeks and probably would’ve laid it on its side had you not informed me it will probably damage it, so I really appreciate that! I’m don’t suppose you have a pic to hand of...

Hi there, new here so please forgive me if I’ve posted this in the wrong place. I have recently acquired a Hoover Keymatic 3224 but the door seal is absolutely rotten. I realise this is totally unlikely but was wondering if anyone might have a hunch as to where I may get one or if anyone has...
