Hi Guys.
Cheers for the kind words.
Its great to finally be in a position to be able to start collecting stuff. Will hopefully be able to make up for some of the machines that I have had to let pass me by, over the last couple of years.
Gary....many thanks for the advice re the balanced spins. The rear wheels on our machine are rubbed flat and appear to be more like studs, they have been worn down so much - another thing to add to the component replecement list! As the machine isn't likely to be permanently plumbed in anytime soon, we will sit the rear of the machine on carpet as this did improve the situation somewhat - a temporary fix admittedly, but better than doing nothing at all.
I am avidly waiting on an A3190 report - great looking machine and it really brings a smile to my face knowing that you have one. Have you plugged and played yet?
How do Mike.... one of the first things that I commented to rob on was the weirdness of hearing a washing machine with a mechanical, permanently ticking timer again. It was great! The last time I lived with a machine with a mechanical was back in 2003 with a Hotpoint WM52 first edition 1000. To hear a ticking timer was a joy to listen to again.
There definately seems to be a prevelance for the A3350 being in existence today, but not the A3348 - I have only ever seen one of these on ebay and it was a long time ago. In your Trident days, did it appear that people bypassed the A3348 and either bought the A3346 or A3350?
I am beginning to feel the need to find an A3348 (a little bit of Red), to complete the standard square door collection.
Hiya Mark....dont worry. The closed door thing was temporary, whilst people were bustling around the kitchen. I had this nightmare scenario of someone falling over the door and breaking it - paranoia.
At the moment it has its door suitably ajar (its not in the kitchen at the moment) and, whilst in storage, will be kept in this condition.
Hi Rob....great to see your A3346 on here. I remember when I saw it on ebay - first thing I thought was, quite simply, immaculate.
It is in stunning condition and its great watching your vids - have to say yours is a lot more stable at 800 than ours.
and hello Paul....they did make round door Electrons, but they were from the previous generation of Electron (see piccy below) with the flat facia, rather than the angled one of the A3350 series. The round door machines in the A3350 series were, its my understanding, slightly divorced from the Electrons and were simply branded Energy Control Series.
The round door electron below is the A3254 Electron 800 - anything like your mums?
Cheers guys.
Paul & Rob.
