Another Odd Idea!

Lee
If you wanted to keep using the original valves would a feed valve for a urinal flush tank provide a low enough pressure constant flow? They always seem to use a very slow feed to fill the tank. It'd probably be a lot more work than rigging up a couple of modern valves though.

Norge?

Did anybody else see the Norge Double-Capacity front loader in the POD and think there was more than a passing similarity between it and the model-D here?

Does anybody know anything about the histories of each model? Was there some sort of licencing deal in one or other direction? Pure luck? Other ideas?

Yes very similar machine indeed, only styling differs and the Model D is only 9lbs load.

An up-date

The remote valves

I have now mounted the modern valves inside a plastic box which will be installed on the wall ready for hot and cold feeds.

One of the original Bendix hoses attaches to the new valve.

I now need some good strong jubilee clips and remove the pistons from the original valves, I will wrap them up and store inside the machine.

hoses

just a thought Lee

what about the internal hoses off a Hoover/Hotpoint soap draw inlet, cut down put over the inlets from the new valves and then the Bendix hose over that with silicon sealant and jubilee clips.

just-a-thought ;-)

Connectors at the machine end, no need to cut any wires the original bullet connectors fit these new ends perfectly.

All pipes connected and the cable connected for testing.

Right I now need to sort the base and we can wash a load and see it spin.
