Am digging out the servicing bumpff for you John and will post it during the week.
Will post it on a new thread for future reference and so as not to distract from your 455 thread.
Speaking of distractions, I must stop posting pictures of the 3236H. Here is the final one, in the form of before and after.
Keep us updated with how the 455 progresses, John.

Hi Paul
I saw your rescue of the two washing machines in another thread. It's wonderful you went to the trouble of restoring it - the before and after difference is quite stunning. It's interesting looking at the shots of the rear of the 3236H, and there are two things in particular:
the position of (presumably) the motor speed module in the white container, with its wiring travelling across the detergent dispenser; and
the suspension set-up which appears to be upside down compared to later machines.
Neither of these features are in the Aus service literature for the 3236H, which is dated January 1973, so this must be a pretty early machine. I shall be very interested in seeing the UK service manual which includes these details. Thanks for doing that.
My home unit and balcony look like a workshop with 455 bits spread all over the place, I wasn't intending to remove the outer drum from the cabinet, but the amount of rust has made it necessary, to properly get to the areas on the drum needing attention. KURUST, as seen in a couple of electron1100's repair postings, is amazing. It works so well. The other good thing with removing the outer drum is that the base of the cabinet can now be cleaned out properly. An image is attached - a before shot. Hehe.
I have high standards to live up to with some of the machines on this site, and it'll be nice to have the old girl working again.
Cheers
