Rare finds
Paul & Rob
Excellent find (at last) when you think how many dryers are still floating about but the poor washers rarely survived as long
Well it comes together now, so where it did it come from?

Well done guys
Truly amazing restoration. I never thought I would see the day that one of these would be found let alone restored so well.

Hotpoint
Hi Paul & Rob
Just love your new find. I use to love the purple range of Hotpoint washers.
I sure the kickplate was painted a dark grey colour.
Videos please.

Does your Washer Tell You Its a Liberator!!!
Great stuff Paul & Rob, now tell us Who, What Where,Why??
Interesting plinth problem, I wonder if they bought a later dryer and painted the plinth to match.....

Great!
Well done boys, another holy grail ticked off the list! Glad you've both found one of 'em. Is she in good working order?
You might be interested in the link below regarding the soap drawer discolouration, although I can quite understand if you left it alone! Keep meaning to try it myself on some ABS plastics...

I had one of those Hot-Point dryers a long time ago in a previous life. It worker superbly it was virtually silent as well and lasted for ever. I left it behind when I moved. I think my ex that lives in the flat now may still be using it. I must check next time I see them. I know the Miele washer is still going 34 years later.
plastic yellowing
hey guys,firsty congrats on such a savage find,im kicking myself as had two of these beauties years ago but was ignorant to how rare they would become,and (kicking myself) dumped them
on the subjesct of plastic yellowing iv picked up many machines which were as yellow as a banana,only by chance i found a way of getting rid of it was to leave the plastic out in a few showers of rain,it seems to bring it back to white....try it and see
congrats again lads on a great find

OMG OMG OMG, WOW WOW
I can’t speak.
Rob, from what I remember of mine the kick strip was black or at least a very dark royal blue.
She is in great shape; do you have the year of manufacture?
I can’t wait for some videos.
I have shown my interest in justmadit’s liberator which might be up for sale.

Hey Guys..
Now i know I maybe losing my mind..but was there ever a Hotpoint Liberator washer with 5 coloured buttons..?
Shortly after my mum got rid of her Liberator Toploader, she went onto a stacking washer/dryer, as we had recenly moved to our newly built house that my dad had finished building and it had a utility room, the stacking option gave more space..I am sure it had 5 buttons, 1 white and 4 deceasing shades of purple buttons..??
Cheers
Keith

Yes the motor should be interesting, we have yet to try it out. Both of us are still so gobsmacked we managed to get it that we both still have to pinch ourselves to make sure its real. We both also cant believe it still that we aint even plugged her in. Weird aint it?!!!
Videos when we do actually plug it in.
AEGKARAT - yes when I get chance I will do.
GARY and MIKE - Paul will add later with its story and work done to it as he has it at his place for the past 5 weeks and it only just recently came to Crewe so god knows what hes been up to with it lol.
NickUK - thanks, to say again its really a dream come true but saying that it just goes to show if you put in hard work and determination what you want will eventually come your way. Things really are outthere and its up to you to find them.
SIMON - cheers mate, we will skip the attempt at removing the discoloration for now until another drawer cover makes itself known as we dont want to risk detroying it completely but thanks for the info though we really do appreciate it ~ another member mentioned use of Ambisol boat fluid to restore the whiteness but until we wish to risk it I think its best to leave well alone.
MIKELONDON - Welcome to the group. Yes they were fab machines, Certainly a style statement that funnily has come back around in fashion.
IRISHMARK - Oh dear we all learn by mistakes. I let an 1848 go in the early days of collecting. This has certainly made up for it though.
LEE -- Just enjoy the show. Pictures always speak more than words.
KEITH - No you probably are cracking up LOL. No knowledge of 5 button Automatics, even service manuals dont mention one.
Thanks to all that responded. More pics on the way.

Crumbs I think I must be really going mad...lol (but i am going back 30years)..the tumble dryer she had was a 1701, as i still have the instruction booklet.
..next question..was there a "Spray" symbol on the dial for the washer for a 1701 tumble...?? I seem to rememeber that on mum's.. and they would have been bought together. Or am I totally losing it..LOL
Cheers

weird motors
Hi,congratulations on your new find and looks all original too ,even a black door boot.Does it have the E.M.D. motor,which is realy noisy .Made by electric motor developments of essex.Used by hotpoint for a short while identified by only having 1 field coil and rather minimalist skeletal apearance.As for the kickstip i dont think they had one and is just same textured charcoal grey paint as the rest of the chasis.As for the colour shading of the option buttons am i right in thinking it coresponds to colour shading on the programe dial as to which option can be used with that particular programe.Anyway great save cant wait to hear it on spin ,they can keep their super silent shh Hotponts.yawn,Regards Nige.

Hotpoint Liberator
Hey, Paul and Rob
It seems like a long time since I last saw the both of you at Mike's last wash-in! Congratulations on acquiring that lovely hottie, I'm sure you're both over the moon. Will the both of you be planning a wash-in any time in the future as I would love to take a closer look at all those hotpoints?? Lol
As for the yellow soap draw, you could try using a plastic colour restorer called Polytrol!

Nige, I have yet to inspect the insides myself but from what I gather it may be an EMD - Paul seems to think the brushes screw in?
Yes you are right about the dial colours prompting you to select certain options.
Keith, I suspect your mums Liberator was a later one. The words were replaced with symbols on the later ones.
Robbie,
How the devil are you? All well here as you can tell. Polytrol - thats it (Dunno where i got Ambersill from) I remember now it was you at Mikes last do that told us about it. Been racking my brains as to whom id heard it from.
Will certainly let you know if there are any developments in allowing a wash in at my place as soon as they happen.
Come and play all you like then..... theres plenty of em
