Thanks to a couple of tip offs from Darren and Al last weekend I've had a trip to Cambridge today to collect a Duo-Matic twinny. I have to say I don't really know a lot about Duo-Matic except I think they were the predecessors to the Rolls family of twin tubs. I do have to say that it seems to...

Just thought that I would post a few pictures of the newest arrival I collected from Lance last week. I last experienced a Superheat when I was about 8 or 9 when my Aunt had one. Having put it through it's paces this morning I must say I'm very impressed, the combination of large wash tub and...

I just thought I would share a few pictures of yesterday's new arrival to the fleet. It's had a bit of a clean up this afternoon and seem to be in quite good condition, although not without some problems. The minor issues are a couple of pieces of hose have gone hard and the fill hose has...

I just thought that I would share a few pictures of my latest acquisition from a month ago, thanks must go to Richard for picking this up for me. Its a Washdog from August 1972. When it arrived it was looking and smelling a little bit sorry for itself. I've now got round to giving it a thorough...

I just thought that I would share some pictures of my latest arrival. Collected yesterday I've not really had chance to have a good look at it yet. From the quick look I've had so far its going to need some belts, the two pictured came with it but weren't attached. I'm guessing they are the spin...

Hi I've just been asked by a friend who has a grey fascia Zanussi WD1012 how to remove the timer knob. It's started slipping when selecting programs and he can't see how to release the knob. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Ian

I've been helping my elderly Aunt clear some old paperwork out today and have come across some bills from the local Hoover dealer for repairs and a new machine. The first is for repairs carried out to a 3236H, then following a disasterous suspension collapse the replacement machine arrives, then...

I recently acquired a Supertwin 70, thanks Al, that needs a bit of work. Mechanically it seems to be ok except that the timer doesn't switch off and the body work needs a tidy up with the usual scrapes, lower body rust and loss of paint to the wash deck. My plan was to strip it down and start...

In this weeks auction, Wednesday, at Cuttlestones in Wolverhampton, lot 402. It was also there a couple of weeks ago but didn't sell. Looks like a model from the early 1970s. Ian. http://www.cuttlestones.co.uk/salecatalogue/WA150715.htm?s=313&f=414

Hope that this comes out legible. Ian

After a 500 mile round trip to Plymouth yesterday I've finally got the Keymatic home. I've taken today to clean it up and have a look round to see what it needs. After cleaning most of the rust marks off it doesn't look too bad. It will need the mains cable replacing before testing, some of the...

I've finally got round to looking at some of the problems on my A3350 today. I think that I know where I'm going with the suspension refurb that it needs but I've been looking at the leak that took it out of use. Having removed the backplate and drum I've discovered a small hole in the tub above...
