Al I have to say again the hard work certainly has paid off, you really need a traditional Bedford CF van lettered up for the local electricity board to help with removals. Mike It'd be great to catch up, you're welcome to call in any time. Let me know. Ian

Rob Glad that you've managed to stop the dripping and it seems to be performing better. The clutch shoes shouldn't be too worn as I changed them two or three years before I took it out of service. Ian

That's looking stunning, well done on all your hard work. Ian.

Carpet Steve It managed the carpets ok, front foot mats, sill carpets and gearbox tunnel piece. I did take the horsehair backing off beforehand though:-) Just needed to be rearranged before spin to get the balance right. Please don't try this Rob after all your hard work!!! Ian

Rob I'm glad it looks like you might have solved the problem, its looking smart now. Hopefully you should have it fixed before long. Steve Yes I bought it on staff purchase when Alstom still had an agreement with Hotpoint/Creda from the old English Electric days, we didn't get much knocked off...

9605 Rob Glad everything is coming on ok and its going to provide the spares you need. Looking forward to seeing everything back together and working. Thanks for the strawberries, delicious! Steve It was my daily driver for 10 years or so, and the first machine I purchased when I left home. I...

Paint Job That's looking good Rob, what paint have you used? Is it appliance white or an automotive paint. Triumph white 19? Ian

Slightly different, dated November 1963.

Spares Hi Rob If its any use to you're welcome to have the 9600 that's been sitting in my shed for 15 years or so. As I recall it's got gearbox problems, leaking oil into the tub, I was only going to break it for spares when I had my 9605 but as usual never got round to it. Ian.

Nice one Rob, I hope you're not planning to cram it into a Dolly boot when you collect it :-) My 9605 went out of service with a gearbox oil leak, I still miss it now, wash performance was great as was rinsing. I did take a 9600 off my Mum's next door neighbour that I was going to break for...

EE Al I hadn't even given it a thought that the Reversomatics were still going in the 70's! The brand names must have been carried through after the GEC takeover. I do have an interest about all things EE, having worked at what was their Stafford Works for 26 years (despite being GEC/Alstom...

1504 That looks great Steve, I'm glad it went to a good home. I hear that you prompted the seller to be on the lookout for other rare Hotpoint models! Here's a quick shot of it's long term storage partner installed and doing what it should after 42 years. I assume you're going to put it through...

EE Oven That's interesting Al. That looks like it could be badge engineered, EE ceased to exist after the GEC takeover sometime around 1969/1970 and the rating plate appears to be stamped 1975. I wasn't aware that the domestic appliance factory in Liverpool was still producing that late on...

Off Thread Al It would probably look great with a Hygena System 70 kitchen in orange! That 90 is virtually the same as mine, except for some reason mine has no glass door on the oven and is two tone brown. Very 80s! Have a try with this, 8oz Self Raising Flour 2 Level Teaspoons Ground Ginger 1...

Classic Extra Al It was Marmalade Gingerbread from the Belling recipe book, just scoffing a piece as I write :-). Didn't think to take any pics of the product but here's a few of the cooker. It's a shame that I couldn't leave the labels on, but I have left the chalk mark under the hob from the...

Classic Extra Thankfully I think I got the better of the two! It's settling in nicely after 42 years in hibernation and made its first cake yesterday. Ian

Classic 80 Hi Al Just made the payment, just need to arrange collection. I thought it may have gone for more, but I'm more than delighted to be getting it. After a good check over it'll be going into frontline service to replace the 90. Ian

Classic 80 Now it's looking a bit cheaper I'll have a punt on this. Fingers crossed! Ian

Belling Classic Double 80 WOW, that's amazing. I've love that Classic, it's my favourite style, Bit out of my league at that price at the moment unfortunatly. Hope it and the 1504 go to a good home. Ian.

Frigidaire & EE Some great pictures you've got there. I'd say that the EE machines were around 1966 when the Liberator Twin was introduced and I've an advert for the Liberator Automatic from the same era, I think it's the one with the advertising record featuring Denis Norden. Looking at the...
