Door Seals
Hi. I've owned about 5 of these now, and I too struggled to find a door seal. These machines are made by Eudora, of Austria and spares are hard to come by over there let alone in the UK, my belief is that they're obsolete as I tried to find one for one of mine when I had them.
BUT, I scrapped one about a year ago with a decent door seal, so if you want a used, good condition one let me know and we can sort something out.

These were also sold as Kenwood, perhaps it may help.
OK so I got a seal from these people.

Site is in German so took me a while to do it, paypal acepted so paying was easy.
£28 deliverd, took about 5 days to come, beter that some UK places.
Info plate.
Top off
Back off
Surprisingly clean for a 30 -35 year old machine.
The motor and variable pulley.
This assembly is driven by a cam on the drum shaft and drives the program knob round, not found on other automatics but can be found on some twin tub's
This little gizmo is what stops the machine spinning if the drum is out of balance.
Just look at the size and engineering of that water pump, puts today's crap to shame.
The drain hose is starting to crack up, not bad for its age though.
This was never going to be a full strip, so I just brushed out the dead spiders and fluff, and got to work with the 3 in 1 and a tub of grease. All done, switch on and...........
has someone given this thing an E or something, its gone crazy 
It did a wash is 3 minutes and didn't even give the water time to get warm before it went into rinse :snivel: Top off, back off head scratch. Ahh sorted, as the belt pulley adjusts the motor also rises and falls on a spring loaded pivot, it was stuck in the high so fast position, a quick poke and hey presto. Its also much quieter, the program mechanism used to tick away like and old clock, not now.
Sorry had camera up the wrong way, I am blond after all :duh:
Will post video of motor and pulley moving later as I have developed a dribble :'(

:'(Have cured my dribble problem, amazing what a bit of aquarium grade silicone can do 
) the door seal is not like others, its flat and fits over a metal rim, now weather it is supposed to have some sort of clamp (like most other automatics) or due to wear, the water was seeping around this bit of the seal so I squeezed in a small amount of silicon fitted the seal and cleaned up. tried it today and its bone dry 
This is a video of the motor going fro rinse into spin, its a bit dark but you get the idea.
