that is a very nice machine...
If its the lower seals
Then the cost fixing the machine is exorbitant. A seal kit is $200 AUD and it takes a good few hours to fit. Particularily if you care and replace the bearings as well.
This style machine ceased sales in Australia in 91 or so.
That probably means that the motor is on its last legs, if its been leaking a while then the wiring harness underneath with have shorted, it probably has rust underneath.
These machines in the non digital control panel were only 1 speed. We didnt get the compucare here, but I would assume that it does wash and soak periods rather than having a 2 speed motor. However the control panel is deluxe and that might mean it got the 2 speed.
