Hotpoints and Zanussis!
Thanks everyone! The 9534 is working like new. It had new bearings fitted by the engineer before I bought it off him. I think by 1989 they'd just about perfected the 4kg machines, of course with the 9536 the 5kg drum was introduced and they just don't seem as solid. (I had a 9537 at uni and the suspension is no-where near as solid and jumps around the kitchen frequently!).
I'm collecting the Z9191T on Saturday and I must say I'm really looking forward to getting it home and plumbed in, I'm hoping it's still got its induction motor as I've never seen one of the induction Zanussis running before. The oldest I'm familiar with is the FL1012 which was still pure Zanussi designed but had an Electrolux brush motor so was more noisy!
Does anyone know if the programme sequence is similar on the Z series to the later FL series? Does it do the step cool down after the wash where it tumbles, fills, tumbles, fills etc?
Tom.
