Great going Mike
That's a parts department and a half. I thought that looked like the hpt 1600 motor, seeing James thread. So they went into the early 1850's as well, interesting.
Fabulous to see the hotpoint toploader timeline together, though nearly splurt my tea out at the photo in reply 73, if I could just slip a soft towel over that chrome door. lol, but just goes to show that no space is wasted, and what's been achived and how much you've fitted into that wonderful space, wall of keymatics, wall of Servis, timeline up of toploaders, mega wall of the pick of 70's and 80's classics, plus the best from the continent.
What enjoyment there is for us and future generations, if we haven't the part between us somewhere, then it really is no longer available.
Thanks for all you, Paul and Al have done to secure these spares.

I must say
I did wonder where all the spares were going to go, given that we are pretty much busting at the seams here - still Mikes patient and diligent work got everything sorted (and somewhat compressed) so it was all fitted in without too much problem.
Just as well it was sunny and dry while he was doing it, it would have been a lot harder without space to spread out

Great work guys. What an array of bits and pieces and it's great to see that even the repair guys don't throw anything out - there's always going to be a use for what might seem to be rubbish - well that's what I keep telling myself!!
The Hotpoint top loader line up looks fabulous and glad to see all the parts stored away in the parts warehouse! I think there is a great compliment of skills there with the spreadsheets, organisation and sheer muscle power moving them all about.

Well done on the latest arrivals. You've done a great job fitting everything in! What can I say about that 1502, in my opinion the best looking of all the models, especially with the darker wood effect worktop. Can't wait to see it up and running. Just needs it's 'Warning Keep Hands Out Until Spinning Stops' stencilling back on the lid and it's perfect in my eyes.

ENGLISH ELECTRIC LIBERATOR TUMBLE DRY 4602
Hello Folks from Land's End!
Help, please?! Just as I early complete a complete re-build of the above machine, the timer went faulty and then after ages of struggle to remove it, the central spigot with the two large nuts started to turn round and round. Bakerlite bust and eventually, there was only one thing for it - yanking - I think is the technical term! It came off in various bits and is now a wreck! Obviously, I can't get a replacement and have scoured the net. I need advise on whether anyone knows of a timer that could be adapted to fit and wor, please?
I found one made by Zanussi that looked promising and tried to contact that company without any success. They immediately forwarded me to some site called Ask Something or other. Completely USELESS, I discovered after having paid my fiver! They knew nothing about anything!
The present Liberator had a double pole timer. If the worst can to the worst, I presume I could fit a single pole and wire all the negs together on a common rail?
I also scoured the net to try and find new door seals - without any luck and have reused having treated with some silicone spray, which will do for a while. Of course, the other problem is that it is impossible to go and look at old spares in a box anywhere today - or even to look at new rubbers to decide if anything can be modified.
Any help would be very gratefully received. This was a whim purchase having grown up in the late 50's at the age of four with the first Liberator washing machine, in Warwickshire which kept going until the 90'd when I stupidly scrapped it, no longer able to get spares (Rarespares, I remember) after it had flooded the scullery. I was a FOOL!

With very grateful thanks for any information and a Happy Christmas to anyone who happens upon this.
Best wishes,
Kenneth

ENGLISH ELECTRIC LIBERATOR WASHING MACHINE?
One more (silly) question, please?
What is the chance of ever finding another EE Liberator from the late 50's - the model which had the setting drum on the front face - to go with the Tumble Dry that I am determined to finish and have working again?

@ Kenneth
You may be in luck if you have a look on the link below - its not cheap and a bit of a trek for you but the buyer is open to offers.
As for the washer, not impossible but not very likely. And there is a queue.
Good luck
