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,
