Superb!
Hey Paul,
Glad to see her looking like she should again, there's really something majestic about a Hottie TL! Damn those water meters, but maybe you could save water in other ways - strip bathing in the sink, building an earth closet in the garden etc perhaps!
Fantastic that she had seen little use though - wasn't that the case with the 3236H also? You and Rob have definitely a right to be proud of your epic rescue and rehabilitation of both machines!
And if anyone knocks the Hottie for being environmentally unfriendly, you can always whip out a 'before' picture to show that it decomposed faster than a front loader in the same situation...

Wow. Great restoration. We had a 15790 from new when i was younger did about 16 years solid service with no real probe until the end when the gearbox got noisy.
Then we had a new one think it was a 96702 and that was RUBISH! had a new motor and gearbox within the first 2 years. 3 pumps within first 6 years. new programmer after about 8 years. and it wasn't used any more than the other one in fact probably less. I lived in a house of 6 adults so the machine was on nearly every day.
