Any more teaser pic's?

Sure Richard.

Here is another....

FULL FRONTAL this time!
Though I think there is something wrong with my camera as, though the paintwork is good, its not as white as it looks in this picture....

Someone is just going to have to wait, or look at my youtube channel instead for a sneak peak shortly!

Anyways - back to the Amethyst beauties.
Hope Wednesday has gone to plan Lee.

Oh you, any who moving on, I didn't know Zanussi made two rebadged Hotpoints (going by the your picture) I thought it was just the one. What was the difference's ?

Rich
 
Full frontal...

I've never heard the like!! Great machine though Paul - I'm sure you'll raise the bar in terms of detail when it's done! And the tub graffiti seems to have been a feature on Hotpoint top-loaders in the UK - every single one that Rich and I have had between us has a litany of repairs in marker-pen on the poly-prop tubs. Inevitable of the TLs it goes pump, clutch, pump, clutch every couple of years!!

Lee - I'm very impressed with the detailed approach to dismantling - very thorough! Great to see a few of these machines surviving with so much (including the outlet hoses which always seem to disappear...). The self-leveller is a nice concept but just as bad on the top-loaders to work on. IIRC they fitted that on all 'high spin speed' models...what did the competition do (the Oovaah people)?

James - Hotpoint spin motors are probably still available if you have the cash, but equally they come up on ebay every now and again and most UK sellers will ship to Ireland if you ask them. Otherwise look out for a late supermatic - the spin motor will transfer over.

Mike - such a tease with that Liberator pic...
 
Hi David Hope your ok, love you pic on that new fandangled thing call Facebook, very distinguished, I know what you mean about Paul going on about full fontal,I got very excited and all we get is a white square lol. I've said it before and I'll say it again, tease, tease, tease.
 
Well - preview vid is uploaded!

Hi Richard.

Yep, Zanussi provided two machines to the Hotpoint range.

The 1823 was always the runt of the litter and was always the machine at the back of any promotional shots, ivariably with the 1701 dryer stacked on top of it.
Basic machine - no option buttons and a max spin speed of 380rpm!

The 1826 is the version that myself and rob own. Intermediate machine with 'super wash' and 'economy load' buttons, its spin was a middle of the range 520rpm.

The 1828 was totl in the 1976 to 1978 front loader range, with the 3 option buttons and 800rpm spin.

Hi david.

Hope you have settled into your new place ok.

I too am impressed by Lee's screw charts - a great idea and much better than the pyrex bowl that I invariably end up using.
Try so hard to put certain types of screws in particular parts of the bowl, but they all end up getting mixed up.

Hotpoint/ Zanussi

Hey Paul

Dont suppose you could dig out a pic of the back of your 1826?? reason being if you remember ages ago I told you about that washer in the front room of the house near me- im 90% sure its a 70s Zanussi and is def cold fill. Im thinking I need to put a note through the door lol......

Seamus
 
How do Seamus.

Hope all is well with yourself and Matt.

Piccy of the back of the 1826 below - do you need to write a note?

Fingers crossed you do!
Paul

I’m in a very bad mood, powder coaters in Leominster I was going to using have let me down.

“Ho sorry we can’t fit anything that big in our small chemical tank to strip the old paint off, best find a back street car body shop to wet spray paint it”

Bloody back street car body shop, don’t you realise this is the cream of British made washing machines from the early 70’s and requires only the best you absolute philistine. Bloody back street car bloody body shop.

So I have found another one in Ledbury who have quoted £30 chemical stripping and £50 powder coat to a factory finish, so I will be going out there some time next week.

And my computer is about to be sent out of the closed window if it dose not start to work bloody well right in a minute, I want a fag now, but I don’t smoke anymore do I.
ARARAAARARAJRS.

Calm, tranquil, unruffled, and relaxed I WANT A FAG NOW. no I don’t I want crack.

Paul, just seen the video after shoving some more coal in this now very annoying computer which I think has been having unprotected sex on the internet and caught some sort of virus which is something it’s owner would never do unless under the influence of what ever is going.

ARARAAARARAJRS.

Is that 18580 from Manchester by any chance?
Both fine machines and cant wait for some footage of a full wash.

Not sure about the white door on the 1824 it just doesn’t look quite right, I would not turn it away if one came my way thought.

“What do you mean program not responding, you will respond when my foot enter your screen, now pull you self together NOW”.

Screw chart, well I get a bit inpatient when I loos things and then loos my temper, the garage door it testament to that as my foot imprint is still there, and this dam computer is going to end up with the same treatment soon.

“Program shutting down, I tell you what to do you piece of sh 1 t.”

I’m off to sit in a dark room, hopefully Norton 360 can sort this stupid computer out or my fist just might have to, I’m not violent at all.

It won’t shut down now, keeps coming back to the web page, plug out of the wall then, you may not hear from for a day or too if it won’t reboot tomorrow.
 
Ahhh Lee.

The frustration of the powder coaters. Its only a temporary blip I am sure and I understand the frustration of wanting to get something done and finding obsticles in your path.
I am joining you in the frustration, as I want to see your machine sparkling too.
But we must all be patient - will all work out right in the end, I am sure.

Re the computer - my computer is 10 years old now and is slllloooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. It can also get even slllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr than that too and it does your head in. Sits there chunnering away and have only asked it to open windows explorer!
Just walk away for a bit and do something else.
I have tried hitting it, but it just sits there whilst my fist hurts, so who's won!?

Age might not be your problem though, so get your anti virus software run and see what it flags up.

Paul
