Thanks for the comments guys.
We are really pleased with it and, time permitting, will try and get a vid of it done tomorrow.
Even though its only 520rpm max - think your Bendix is faster is'nt it Mark (550rpm?) - personally i dont want to run the risk of hurting much more, by spinning it.
Will maybe do a full cycle once, to check it over, and then put it in the restoration queue.
the previous owner mentioned that the door release arrangement had already been replaced once before, so we will have to uber gentle with it.
The 70's saw a phase of fiddly door release handles/button, probably a hangover from when the machines were produced that did not possess interlocks. although Indesit had fiddly mechanisms through to the early 80's, if i remember rightly.
Hi darren. cheers for the comments - really looking forward to the high rinse levels. from the figures on the which report, posted by mike, the 1826 does appear to be a rather thirsty machine.
Purple door permitting, we will try and capture it on any vid we make.
How do Lou.
Yep - there is something about the purpole door. Make it a bitch to see whats going on, but they were smart machines nevertheless.
Thing is they are plastic, rather than glass. As a result years of washing can take its toll. We have a couple of liberator purple door bowls with cracks in them, so they are a bit fragile.
will try and do a vid as soon as is practicably possible.
cheers

p.s below is the 1823 Liberator C - the other Zanussi clone. A cold fill only machine and a top spin speed of.......wait for it.........a whopping 380rpm!
