In the back of my dad's Mondeo...

I had never seen the strengthening bars before...

Pristine even on the back too...

Ah the machine I grew up with! oh the memories, nice to see there still around. I remember being fascinated sitting there watching it through the cycles, it was moved into what was the downstairs loo to make way for our first dishwasher (a Philips with a brown plastic interior (AAD004 or something?)) Then one day to my horror (and my mum's fury) my dad decided to rent it out to a customer and replace with a philips electra. I loved the spin-a-rinse action.

However, mum hated it as she could not do a 2nd spin (not sure why she wanted to do that all the time, but that habit stopped with the IZ) this was when I worked out to get the spin separately from a Philips was to have the machine on, and set to spin. Spin the drum by hand and close the door quickly. Wasn't long after this discovery that dad was dragged to curry's and purchased an A8504 and the philisp got rented out, it also saw the Philips D153 move hose to my aunt's, which as far as I know is still going strong.

nice to know some one else has experienced these machines

Well as i said i have been going through it slowly giving it all a service, i went to the garage yesterday and did a bit more work on it, cut my hand again and got blood allover the washing i did whilst i was there (i bleed a lot due to medication im on)

anyway

First job was to de-rust the back of the tub and a few bits inside of the tub so gave a rub down with emery and cleaned it with white spirit

Amerite!

I then painted the parts with trusty old Hammerite, you can use this straight onto rust if you want

tiddly bits

Heater bracket and around the very front

Crusty Bits

Then to remove the crust from the rear tub plate. easily done with a spark splug wire brush and it wasnt that bad

Crusty Bits

few more bits to come off, whilst i was making all this mess and dust my trusty old hoover Portapower was doing a sterling job of sucking all the crap up

Rubber

Then fianlly once it was all cleaned up a layer of silicon sealant all round a bit of fiddling and the new tub seal went on.........

Thats it so far, when i go again i will start to re-assemble the machine.....

Sorry about some of pix being blurred, it must be the excitement of all it making me shake and then my eyes go all blurred and and and....................

Sterling work, but stop sniffing that Hammerite may make the photos better.
