Hi Zachary.
great to see another Hotpoint fan joining the club!
The 4th machine I used after leaving home (in a rented house) was the 100rpm WM52.
Have to say it did the job very well and never gave us any trouble whatsoever, in the two years me and my mates lived in that house - and it was used daily.
If I had the space and with them beng still quite readily available, I too would acquire a First Edition WM from that series of machine.
All of a sudden, they will vanish and become like gold-dust, so you do wisely to keep hold of a good example now.
Welcome and happy collecting.
Hi Gary.
Bloody hell - Electrons and those rubber rear wheels! Me and rob reorganised our storage (the best we could) yesterday. Our A3350 is sat next to the hotpooint 95620 and has the matchbox D6018 dryer stacked on top of it. The stack leans back something chronic - all because of those rubber wheels going flat. A really p!ss poor design they had going.
Rob - me and thee will have to procure replacements somewhere down the line!
Cheers gary for offering to keep your eyes peeled for trim and chrome doors -a real good idea re the latter as they arent available anymore.
In all liklihood, even if you get a machine with intact trims, they will crack on removal - they are painfully fragile. Also, just to be awkward, they changed the way they fitted between series of machines, with our 95620 neeeding first series strips with round lugs.
The latter series had round and square.
If you do come across any, please let me or rob know.
Re your Liberator purple door - I am pretty sure Mike still wants it. Just give him a gentle reminder of its existence.
We will keep our eyes peeled for true A31XX buttons for you, if we ever get back into the Aladdins Cave - we havent managed it for over 6 months now and are beginning to take it personally! dont quite know what we have done?
anyways, all the best
