Super cool, Leon! Love that wash-action, too. What is the small black circle under the lid by the filter flume?
Thanks for the video - very enjoyable!

Lovely machine there Leon and a great vid of it in action, that agitation is very vigerous on full speed, you look at the ribbed tub and it looks a much older machine than the much more modern looking rapid advance timeline control panel....

small black circle...
Hey Gansky
That black circle is a 'testing port' for the full flume. The idea was that you could 'test' the water being filled into the outer tub and adjust it accordingly, if you so desired. God knows why!
Mike: Yes, i suppose that's true re: the design of the control panel.
Oh...and by the way Mike....i'm having a machine shipped over from New Zealand that you and other UK members will have a particular interest in!!! Don't ask me WHEN it's arriving, i only paid for the shipping 2 weeks ago.
Cheers
Leon

I have to confess that my mother regular tested the incoming water temperature and was known to adjust how hard the taps were on to alter the mix of hot and cold depending if she wanted a warmer or cooler, 'warm' wash.

Well...there you go
Chris,
I take my hat off to your mother, she obviously cared about her laundry enough to do that. I somehow doubt there would have been that many like her, but i could be wrong.

Well she turned out a son who likes doing laundry, so that part kinda makes sense...
The other thing that it was good for, was adding fabric conditioner into the wash. I think I'm right that the recirculation pump pushes the water through the lint filter past this too, so pouring fabric conditioner in this way 'premixes' via the lint filter to ensure you don't get it undiluted on clothes.

Leon, this is a fantastic machine! Sounds great, and looks very brisk while washing with that angel wing agi! Thanks for sharing!
