Hi supermaticjames,
Yes I will take a photo of it without the lid, my Dad & I're upgrading the garage utilities so I'll get Dad to spare a screwdriver to take the lid off for the phot when we move all the machines into their relevant spots.
I notice your Aunt had a Hotpoint Aquarius 1000 Washer Dryer WD22, my Grandma had an Indesit 850W, but when the bearings copped out, I put my foot down saying, "you need a new washer, Grandma" a few days before the final Indie issue, I'd seen a otpoint Aquarius 1000 Washer Dryer WD22 on sale in the local appliances repair shop in Armthorpe, for £180, I gave Grandma 02 choices, the Hotpoint for £180, or a Zanussi like my above one for about £450, she opted for the Hotpoint, at the time.
We had that machine for about 04 years, from the 03rd of Jan 2003 until October 2008, we passed it onto my Grandpa, as his laundry went missing on most occasions when it was at the launderette, during it's life with my family, we treated it well, the only issue we had was if it was unbalanced (indicated by a whining from the motor) it would usually blow the main house fuse when it ramped up.
Great machine, even for a 1000RPM spin, 1st time Grandma used it, she pulled the programme knob out to start it, but also did so with the dryer timer too, pulling the knob off the fascia. She learnt after that incident, & with me teaching her to use properly.
After my Grandpa passed, we put it into storage, I was going to have it ultimately, but Mum & Dad said I'd have to choose between the Zanussi I've now got & the Hotpoint, I chose the Zanussi, so Mum insisted we sell it on Ebay. The people who bought it came, not far from where I bought the Zanussi from, around the Pickering area of North Yorkshire.
Anyway, yes I'll take a few photos for you of the Servis without it's lid for you.
BTW, if you're interested, there're 02, maybe 03 short vids of Grandma's ex-Aquarius WD22 on my YouTube channel, my username is WD860, if you're interested & want to take a look.
I've added the link direct to my channel for you below.
