With the help of the trusty old toohbrush and cleaning cloth
...the front panel cleaned up superbly!
Was over the moon when I realised that we had got a prsitine (bar the obvious) machine, hidden under a layer (admittedly fairly thin) of grime...

Patience is a virtue
And i havent got any!!!! (stomps around like a moody teenager)
Paul your ability to not only to clean and restore machines to pristine is gobsmacking but to then have the patience to do all those before and after fots breaks all limits.
I dream of doing it, but by the time i have messed around getting the bugger running i am too knackered to bother (hence my hurried crap fots).........
We need another section on this site for restorations of all sorts.
So again Paul well done it is a gem

Liberator
Oh I see so this was the machine s that took the liberator name from English Electric of the 1960's which confirms was absorbed by the then GEC who then sold Hotpoint to Indesit, Nice design though. Pity GEC became MArconi a shadow of itself, interesting collection how on earth doe you maintain all these machines wonderful though

Well Done
Paul and Rob,
I know I've congratulated you in person, but well done on getting your dreams come true this year with this great hotpoint and the hoover 3236h, and Paul what skillful hands they have come to, your patience has to be admired, I'm very much with Gary, get the wires into the quick plug and start her up, see what happens lol. Then have a cup of tea and go from there.
Yep, get it up to your mum and dads and enjoy

Such patience, I’m afraid I would have had her wired up and plumbed in on the garden hose within 5 mins of getting it out of the car, and most likely flooding the garage or getting a shock because it’s not electrical sound.

Hiya Gary and Lee.
Not having the tools or skills to tinker mechanically or electrically, I have to channel my enthusiasm down another avenue - hence the making things look pretty.
A challenging alternative to making things work is making them look good.
Believe me though - when we get established, hopefully with a garage and the like, I will hit the mechanical and electrical side hard. Be great to be able do what you guys and Mathew do with total ease. One day.....starts to dream.....
