Undressed :-) The machine without the frontside panel. You were allowed to do that istantaneally (no screws!) to let you clean the filter which was mounted inside the outertub between that and the draining pump directly attached just there!

Fantastico! Ti devo ancora una risposta decente per email! ;) I hope you're going to fix that machine for good! It'll be a marvel after the restoration! Never seen something similar anywhere else! | ||

support
NICE MACHINE! In panel #237162 above, (the machine is siedways), is there a support "beam" that is supposed to be over the hub/bearings (center of tub)? The screw-holes on each side make me believe there is one not shown. I just assumed that horizontal axis machines of this type would always support both sides of the tub. | ||

Diomede, Very cool machine! I might have missed the year somewhere. What year is it from? I was thinking it would have a regular tub with agitator! It is in really good shape! Please share when you do your first run! Thanks for the pictures! Brent | ||

That is one big motor you've got there!
This is one cool looking machine, thanks for the pics so we can see it better. I'm sure you will not have any trouble with the tub-to-pump hose, a little silicone is a like a miracle for these machines. The Staber is an expensive machine for sure, but since each one is built (basically) by hand, the price is somewhat understandable. There are lots of other problems with the Staber washer that make it a bad deal though, not the least of which is the lack of any factory service network, the owner is expected to do the repairs themselves. | ||

Yay for Ignis!!
WOW Diomede that is one beautiful machine!!! A big vintage Imperial Forum Congratulations! I have never seen a horizontal access top loader that has both an outer tub lid and an inner cylinder hatch. As for fixing leaks, that can be a real challenge that many of us have been through. Keep up the good work and don't worry about how it looks from the inside, the important thing is that the leak stops. You might have to try three or four different things but you'll get it, that washer is too beautiful not to come up with a solution! Please keep us posted. | ||

Also Staber wants YOU to fix the washer if it breaks. They have NO costomer service! | ||

Top Loader
Hello Diomede Congratulations on finally getting your dream machine,looks in fine shape, luv the idea of removing the front access panel without undoing screws etc.. We had a similar machine here under the name of Stokvis, with the push buttons, and also a Philips but with a rotary timer.. I`m sure you will be an expert at fixing those leaks shortly, patience and a lot of bonding mastic will solve it I`m sure... enjoy, Mike | ||
