Thanks guys
Bertrum - I will probably end up keeping this machine as im very impressed with it. I had forgotten how good they were as it's been a long time since I had an Energy Control Electron.
Hi Liam!
I didn't realise it was you either who purchased some of my brochures. Really pleased they have gone to a good home. You are correct with the cosmetic condition of the Electron. It's great for it's age. It even still had the plastic on the silver door surround but I did take it off as it had yellowed and was torn in places and looking a bit manky. It still has the few tell tale signs of the age as the chrome has gone a bit funny in places.
It has obviously been well looked after by someone. Thankfully there are no signs of coin damage to the inner drum which is always a bonus. The only manky thing is the door seal as I don't think the machine had been used for some time and the door had been shut and so the door seal has lots of mould staining which as we all know is a complete bugger to get off as it gets ingrained in the rubber. It's a bit better than it was after treating it with bleach but it will need replacing as it's the original door seal! It does not leak yet but the water is gettin past where it should as it's not giving a proper seal anymore.
I havn't been keeping up with my youtube viewing as I currently have no sound so videos are not fun at the mo. I know what you mean about the wool wash on most machines. I always wondered how on earth jumpers were going to get to clean with hardly any movement of the drum. I do like the new way to wash wollens as I think it's much more effective.

The Haier was rediculous with spinning and wash times. Water levels were pretty good but the wash times and the out of balance spinning drove me mad. After the machine had eventually finished you would be met with the unbalanced load error message and then you had to reset to spin and wait another who knows how long for it just to bloody spin!
