SERVIS quartz 6035 drum bearings and parts

[sesteve]

I'm not sure if that is a date code on the heater or not. There was a date sticker on the plastic tub of mine and I think on the underside of the lid and possibly the module so you could double check to see if there are any other date references that might match up.

As Mike says, I think the sleeves are welded to the tub. You could probably sand them with fine wet n dry paper to smooth them out. I'm guessing the machine has been running on one bearing looking at what was left of the front one and that is probably why the sleeve is quite rough. Did you have the spacer tube (photo 3 in reply#10) as I didn't see it in your pictures?

Hopefully you are nearly there for reassembly

Need new door seal

Unfortunately, life interrupted my restoration project.

I have come back now to finish it off but cannot find anywhere to buy a new door seal gasket (DBT50).

When I started this 3 years ago there were loads of parts on ebay. Now there is nothing!

If any of you can help or suggest a place I might find one, I can finally finsih this off and get her up and running again.

Inspecting the original seal, there are no tears and it is still fairly flexible.

But, it is covered in scale and mould. The surface is a little crackled / pitted in areas as you would expect from perished rubber.

It leaks a little between the seal and the perspex window.

If I can get the scale and mold off with a limescale remover or soak in vinegar, it might improve but I am afraid acid might damage it further.

There is also this rubber restorer product:

Is it safe to try this?

Thanks
