Saw this on gumtree , thought someone might be interested .
I have never seen inside one of these. What kind of agitator does it use.
I would have imported a picture from the advert but I don't know how to do that !
Hope the link works.

Hoover Topline

Hi Lance, its a drum machine, narrow style, got one for Gary a few years ago but needed full restoration - its back with me now, great washers, that one looks like brand new for 30yrs old, and the maker is given away by the blue plastic trim still on the metal frame of the top - think Brookside!!

It started off looking like this:

Nice machine, this one was made in France by Thomson.
