Coo-ee - waving back!
Hi Launderess
Yes I have a pump with your name on it. I have yet to check its condition closely, I am very busy at present and will be for a couple more weeks. Everything is happening at once on the house so I have a million small tasks to do before the plasterer arrives. When that is out the way I will inspect the pump for you. The pump shaft can be slid in and out a bit which indicates some wear but it can be adjusted by re-positioning the pulley to take up the slack, which I can do easily. The impeller shaft and base are easily and cheaply available here so I could even fit new ones before sending the pump to you. I just need to check out the condition of the rubber valves and seals, and check the housings for cracks.I can enclose a castor too, I think they are quite different but the actual castor wheel may be the same. Your machine is MUCH older than mine though fortunately many parts including the the pumps are the same.
Chris.
