In the vids

Loved seeing the ladybugs on top of your machine, Gorgenje. So cool and fun.

Was surprized to see how economical this model is on water usage.
Thought the older models like this one used more water.

Also loved seeing your spacious yard and neighborhood--international travel at AWorg--ya can't beat it.

Hi Mike, the counterweight on the front of the tub is separate. It's "bolted" with a big ring that keeps together the two parts. (like a sealed lid) The same as shown on the picture of the hoover with the top opened.

Mike, the black hose on the right side is the one that connects the detergent dispenser to the tub? It's kinda strange to be so low.

Hi Michael, the machine is economical indeed. It has no cool down and the 5 rinses are made in low water level, but still uses much more water that the new one does )
The yard and the neighborhood is at Riccardo's place. You are right at AW.org we can see many interesting things.

Hi. You made very good work. This Gorenje looks now like new one :-D. I'm realy glad, our doors from Polar PS 663 Bio match to Gorenje. It nice to see it in use.

Polar made PS washers since 1971 to 1989. During production Polar made some changes: they mounted Polish timers since 1977, newer water pump in 1973, heater relay since 1984, made couple changes in electic conections and changed it look. They made also ecomomic program in 1986
PS washing-machines are well-known in Poland. It wasn't very hard do find these doors there, but most of machines had plastic doors

Greatings from Poland from me, and michal93opole on YouTube.
