Vintage Washers Revisited, Racking and Repairs...

That's allowed the Miele and Philips top loaders to be positioned in a group which works quite well although I have to move the 1100 forward if I need to put fabric softener in the Miele!! I finally got to use the 1100 - it is full of limescale and crud but it's quite a good machine. I think the peramag motor needs new brushes but it's surprisingly quiet.

Thanks for all the other comments too guys.

Hi Steve.

Your set up looks superb!

It really is a big jigsaw puzzle - you think you have it all sorted, then you see that moving a machine or two opens up further opportunities for changes to be made. I have been trying to fathom up here out for over three years now and am still moving machines around.

The racking does look good - having seen Al's and now yours, I really can see that it would work well in the garage up here, though we do need another smaller shelf up top so as to be able to double stack vacuums on their sides.
I long for the day when I can sit back and say to myself 'it's finished', bit I doubt that day will arise anytime soon.

Love the top loader line up and agree that it looks much better having them greet you as you walk in.

Have fun moving the Dyson! lol.

ps your Hotpoint 18580/18680 > can't remember which one you have.

I remember that you posted a video of it on YouTube, showing its very unusual spinning performance, followed by you repairing it on your garden table. What did you do to sort the spinning issue out?

Vintage Washroom Revisited, Racking and Repairs

Looking great Steve, always good to sit with the layout and tweak it, trouble is you arnt moving matchboxes ha ha,the Hotpoint top loaders do look great up front hiding the back panels, and like how the mixes of mechanical and computer controls are sectioned now all you have to do is make it tardis like.

Have all the fun you want and "Happy Washing" until next time.
