Vactric washer
Hi Keith, isnt that tub just the job, lovely colour, I wonder how it fared over the years, I was worried when I saw it had two powerful 1500w heaters but no probs using them , heated the water to 60d in 1 hrs from cold.
If you remember this was found in a house buried and hidden behind a wall under the stairs, new occupants had started renovations demolished the wall and found it ...
It was a little weary but has cleaned up well and more paint polishing to do, the lads replaced the mains cord and as the original green hose had perished we have put a new grey one on that comes through the tub. The original top and curved part of the hose is soaking in Son Of A Gun to supple it and we will connect is to the grey coming out of the tub corner as intended.
The washer hadnt been used for a while ( goes to show they need regular usage) and the pump had seized although working last time. I couldnt move the lever at all, so a soaking in oil and linkage underneath had it part working but as ever these things happen whe the tubs full of water so I coaxed it gingerly while emptying it . I connected the green hose to it for filming a more permenant job will be done later.
