Hi all! I don't know how to explain my happyness today...I've got it in my backyard... I picked it up this morning.
It's been useful one of the infinitives ads put everywhere in the web...as to say, put the message-in-the-bottle and leave it to the sea, someone somewhere else will bring your thoughts...and that's been like that!
It's just her! The 60s top loading with the sliding outer tub lid and the pushbutton controls!
I've had just the time to have a look at it very briefly (I'll start the restoration opera in my spear time when not working at my tesi)... apart from the deep peel of dirt and a bit everywhere the rust seems to does not exist at all although there's somewhere in the jointint and around the screw of the outer cabinet
The biggest problem is the drum, that seems completely demaged...I don't know if a friend of mine will help me to fix it or should I have to change it definitively!
The rest is OK! Maybe to ermetize the seal between the draining pump and the outer tub...seen the white tracks seems to leak tremendously from there!
The motor works well I tried it taking out the pulley trasmission so the broken drum didn't distrub the cheking up, I don't know instead wheter the inlet valves and the draining pump work well...
The problem is that the timer is hidden, you cannot select by the knob but onl by the pushbuttons (but this you who see a A906 I suppose..you know it wvery well!) unless than you try with a screwdriver, but I fill manually then put on 8-RinseONLY and the motor was going on, I didn't wait for draining..
Now I'm too happy for further datails bt I'll tell you with pics either everything "live" nextly...
It seems like this I re-painted with photoshop...
Ah..it's a Top loading Orizontal Axis though :-D
