Purchased by Richard , Collected by Al from central London smack in the middle of the new ULEZ zone , the owner was one elderly lady who had moved into a nursing home, it was like new inside but the outside had been protected by a
healthy coating of nicotine which always helps to preserve we find.

Steve got creative , the suspension u shaped legs fit into a block on the washer base, this is filled with hard grease which over the years had crumbled , hence the machine suspension leg tapping on metal when washing & spinning, so we cut a length of flexible rubber hose ( bunsen burner) sliced it lengthways, cover the bottom metal suspension leg and fitted it into the block - Voila, jobs a good one - This gang aint half ingenious when it comes to alternative solutions !!

Welcoming the Aussie boys

Wow, looks like another great time. Thanks, Mike and Al for documenting and hosting this get together.

Nice to see some familiar faces and some new faces still thinking want to make a visit to the UK again, hopefully in the coming year.

We have found some very cool appliances over here in the past year and met some new collectors as well. Hopefully when we visit will bring along a couple of guys from the states.

John.

And on the dining room table before dinner Mathew explains the lates thinking on the Parnall Automatic Top Loader control panel & wiring loom .

We have 2 Parnall spinwashers , semi automatic but Al found a control panel and wiring loom , one ,otor & 2 pumps so we are going to conver a semi into a fully functional automatic Suds Saving Spin Washer . (Rather Like the Champion washer from New Zwaland on a current thread )
