Gary's machines - an update on the Hoovers

D6042 Dryer De Luxe

That same weekend saw me meet out some cleaning and polishing treatment to another of the machines - the matching dryer to the A3060.

The dryer dates from November 1978...

The gubbins!

The timer and heat switch...

 

[matchboxpaul]

Standard bodyshells, so the dryer has all the cut outs required for it to be an A3090 Automatic, A3060 Electronic, A3062 Keymatic or A3064 Selectamatic...

Nice clean backpanel, with vents for inhalation and vent aperture for exhalation...

ta da!

'New Magic' together

One weakness of many a Hoover of the 1960's and 1970's was that the kickstrip tape wrap would slide off the bodyshell, as the machine heated up and softened the glue.
The tape kickstrip on the washer has now been trimmed, so that it doesnt scrape and tear on the floor, and a layer or electrical tape applied to protect the base.
Unfortunately the tape is black, but doesnt detract too much. Do they do brown electrical tape ?

The low perspective - smart!

Stacked and in place

To the left is a Philips HN3156 Slimstar and to the right is an Indesit L5EGB, so in good vintage company...
