Re Shot of 1979 AEG Lavamat 602s
Hi Danielle
This particular AEG series of washers where actually badged up Zanussi machines. If you look carefully at it and look at some other Zanussi washers from that period you will find they where very simular. Originally like back in the 50s/60s and 70s Zanussi made washing machines for the German market for AEG. The Lavamat 500, 602s 802s and 803 and the Lavamat LVs were all badged up Zanussi's most of the other machines from the likes of the Lavamats from the OKO range where AEGs own machines from their factory in Nurenberg
They made brilliant machines back then!
AEG was owned by Mercedes Benz which was who owned AEG from 1985 onwards they were bought by Electrolux in 1994 and became defunct in 1996. A bit of history there.

Re Lavamat 560
Hi Jon
Your Lavamat sounds like it did exactly the same as what my Grandma's old AEG did regarding rinsing and spinning patterns. Hers was a Lavamat 561. At the point when the pump made the shop, whoop sounds was when it had drained all the water out. The reason it did that as all machines do it is that the pump drives the water through the ubend of the wast pipe and there is usually water in the middle part of the ubend and it is the weight of the water that brought up and out of the waste pipe.
Regarding the spinning sequence my grandmas Lavamat 561 did exactly the same as yours when it started to spin. It took me by surprise a few times when it burst into spin. I watched carefully at one point and when it starts the spin it dose a slight distribute and when it vaguely spreads the load around the drum it starts the spin.
The reason your aunties and my grandmas spun like it did was because it had a clutch assembly that would release the drum to go up to speed (the American top loaders had a clutch and so did the old Zanussi Zrange washers and also mechanically controlled commercial washer had it aswell) as oppose to a spin capacitator like most machines have these days.
Would love to see your aunties Lavamat 560 in action doing a full cotton cycle. It will bring back memories of my grandmas 561 before it died in 2006. If you can upload any videos and pictures of it in action that would be great.
Many Thanks
