Could I ask you please to take a picture of the inside of the machine with the back off, particularly near the bottom so we can see how the pump engages with the motor

Thanks again

"Hoover", "Tula", "Wave"

Hi, Al. In the Soviet Union produced a washing machine "WAVE", he looked the same, but she did not have the switch engine and switch the pump.Start the machine by turning it into the socket - it was a requirement of security. But soon were able to solve the problem by applying a system of double insulation, which allowed to operate washing machines without grounding.Constantly running pump generates excess noise and quickly used up, it caused the decision to use the pump switch. In connection with this washer "Tula" improved compared with a washing machine "Wave"

Thank you for posting the pictures above. I understand the problem with no switch on the washing machine - in this country it is almost (not quite!) universal that our power outlets have a switch on them, so it is not so much a problem for us.

You might like to watch this video, which was produced for the earlier model of Hoover washer

Yes, I saw this video about 3 months ago, I liked it, I was ecstatic. The idea is great with the switch.

Thank you again for more pictures.

It looks very similar to ours, apart from the mechanism to dis-engage them pump - a simple solution. Here is seems we let the customer deal with the problem of the pump rather than add the additional cost to the building of the machine.

Thanks for all the interesting and informative posts, Ivan. Yesterday I was talking to a Financial Times journalist who was telling me he recently visited the Gorenje factory in Slovenia for a piece he was writing. Were Gorenje machines also sold in Russia?

From Slovenia to Russia ....

In Russia washing machines come from Slovenia. Now in stores is about 40 models (WS 510 SYW, Simplicity WA 610 SYW, ONE WS 623 W, WT 63110, W 6843 L / S, WT 63130, WS 512 SYB, WT 63090, and others). The cost of washing machines in the range 14.000-21.000 rubles (430-650 dollars).

Thanks Ivan but I was meaning, were they available there in the USSR days?

Direct delivery was not possible to have brought those who have been to Slovenia on business trips. Brought in for personal use. Such cases I know, because in my collection is American fridge from a trip that brought a military engineer of the plant, but it was way back in 1938))))
