Picked up these on Saturday morning in good condition. The 1535 was a bit of a surprise, it is my first New Generation Hotpoint and it's an Exclusive model, I don't know exactly how rare it is but the sad part is that it is based on the basic 95130 and it lacks the original door or trim but luckily the trim isn't that noticeable but the door is annoying because the replacement Polar white one doesn't 100% suit it. I might try my luck at the spares shop that were so helpful to me before, they have some NOS so maybe they can help. Doubt any of you guys would have a grey door for it? It's from 1985 anyway and it works perfect it's actually really clean inside and out!
The Reversair shows much more use with the usual scratches in the drum and door area but that's just from zippers and studs I suppose. It also seems to have the same wear are the buttons seen on many Liberators with that faded kind of effect. The clockwork timer needed lubricated because it wouldn't countdown so I'm thinking that it ran for a good few hours and overheated by the smell of the drum, there was some cremated fluff about. However once the timer was refitted and the machine was turned on it all worked fine and the heaters were inspected to find that all is in safe working order. I suppose if I run it with some bounce or even run it outside for a while it will smell much more pleasing. I am really interested in how the reversing mechanism works it's so simple and accurate every 70 seconds. Venting the bugger will be tricky because its like an oversized compact!
