Selling my Nova Sirocco portable washer/dryer

[whirlpolf]

hi folks,

my Lloyds Nova Sirocco for sale on ebay (see link, ends this weekend)

Have to get rid of it for space reasons.

H-axis drum type toploader with reverse action and hot air tumble dryer built-in.
10 mins wash, stop, 10 mins rinse, stop, up to 120 mins of drying time.
inlet and drain hose, cable, manual in 10 languages.

Works perfectly, no damages apart from some scratches or dust.
Happy bidding!

One of these showed up around here a few years back at a local junk store. I sure wished I had bought it now for the fun factor alone.

Petek, just for the heck of your profile pic...

...I am willing to take it off of ebay and send it to you for 30 plus p&p.
Of course you will need a transformer as it runs on 230 V 50 Hz.
Possibly a new timer motor as well: I had the same with my Kenmore washer (110 V, 60 Hz), the different frequency may render it stuttering and vibrating around that certain "I might start" wiggle point, but never taking off to one direction - so the timer might not move at all.

Back then, I could help myself out by harvesting one from and old French Moulinex rotisserie grill (same motor but Euro frequency).
Works perfectly in my Kenmore, even with half the voltage. (I am using a transformer 220 V -> 110 V).
My Kenmore is shredding, corkscrewing downwards and timing perfectly.

So should you want the Nova Sirocco, just mail me or come back to it here.
Once it's gone, it's gone of course.
Joe

PS: I have never opened the ITT Nova, so there might be an entirely different timer mechanism in it. Your risk.
PS 2: I admit having a simple visual mind. So good for you ;-P

Thanks for the offer for sure but I'll decline.
