Hoover Zodiac..

Hi Chris, it is a Hoover Zodiac its a 470 if I remember rightly. No idea how it got here, Paul or Rob may know but I found it on Gumtree for them. Its a model without a heater. Heres a video Phil did of it a few years ago..

Maybe the motor was too heavy for two-leg supports... Is the motor an induction motor?

Keymatic 3243h

Great video Chris, the Crouzet 734 is the correct timer for the later model A3062 with the three spin speeds 500, 800, & 1100 rpm, yours sounds faster and higher pitch than Mathews spinning at 720rpm so asuming its spinning at 800rpm

The original timer would have been early MTH925/2 and later MTH925/9.

Am assuming its a complete new wiring loom and motor control board as well ?, look forward to the pics & more videos !!
