OMG - that paint job was slightly iffy, wasnt it.
Ah well - onwards and upwards with the top notch restoration.

Re the powder drawer Lee.

Before your machine came along I had never seen an image of an 1851/03 before, so I cant definitely say whether the drawer had anything written on it or not.
However I would assume that it was a cabinet white plain facia.

The first Liberator - model 1850 - had the name on the facia and a plain drawer facia (pre 'ELECTRONIC' mumbo jumbo).
see below...

Model 1851 - with interlock over the 1850:

the only image I have is taken from my copy of an instruction manual.

It insinuates that the 1851 was visually identical to the 1850.
see below...

Model 1851/03 - with fabric conditioner dispenser and associated plumbing changes inside, over the 1851:

with the 1851/03 having its name written on the facia, at most all the 1851/03 would have had on it was 'ELECTRONIC' with the electron symbol.

If I was in your position I would leave it blank white, as gut instinct makes me feel that the 'ELECTRONIC' thing would have come in with the 1828/01 and 1828/02 refresh and when the name was also moved to the powder drawer.

I might be wrong though.

Vitreous enamel tub/Drum

Hi Mike and all, as regards to similarity of 1850 and 1600 tub/drums the only similarity is the colour of the vitreous enamel.The 1600 drum had a more flat front as apposed to the 1850 having a large curved front lip.The drum baffles were very similar though.Interesting thing about the 1600 drum spider is that is was plastic coated so didnt corrode.Good see these NEWER MACHINES being cared for,or it seems that way when you get to my age. Lee R.E. pressure chambers ,should still be out there somewhere as they where used up to new generation machines with stainless steel front drum plate.Great work so far congratulations.Regards Nige.

Hi Nige.

Will start a thread on the 1600 shortly and will be posting the info you gave me, plus those exploded diagrams I rediscovered I had too.

See if the diagrams jog any more memories you have of your 1830.

Hope all is well with you.

OMG, Wow, thank you, Paul

Parts lists and diagrams, I am forever indebted to you for the time and effort of posting them, most interesting and very useful, I love looking at the parts diagrams, wiring plans and timer charts ect.

I will just clean the draw front leaving it as is.

Many thanks.
