It has two coin traps? Or is that thing at the top a dispenser? |

Hello Mark ill stick me ore in ere, if you dont have some go to a Maplins or electronics shop and buy some Servisol Super 10 Switch cleaner , spray this into the switch where the little stem sticks out it will free them up, try not to use wd-40 as this attacks certain plastics...

Nice one Mark, lovely little machine, and so dinky when it rocks n rolls side to side when spinning, no distribution just keeps stopping & starting into spin!!! I also use a warm hairdryer and a non drop bristle brush , blow the cobwebs & cure the damp, similarly pull off the wire connectors and rub with fine emery etc... Enjoy, Mike |

What a lovely little washer! My eye is drawn to the pictured dishwasher. May I request a thread be begun regarding that machine? Thank you in advance! |

If you are running XP, here is a PowerToy that will do the job for your automatically: www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downl... It is called "image resizer". It does not work with Vista. For that, you need one of many freeware programs. I use (when compelled to use Vista) this one: vso-image-resizer.softonic.de/... Don't worry, it installs in English, tho' it is English like Abba's songs were in a beautiful tongue which reminded one vaguely of English... If you are using LINUX or MACOS, there are programs built in which will do that for you, tho' I think gimp is probably a good way to go for any operating system. Hope this helps. Those machines are wonderful - they have had some safety problems with live to frame contacts in some models. I don't quite remember what caused the problem, but in our shop we had a list of machines which had to be checked for that and this was on it. Something about making sure the harness was clear of that drive pulley, but I don't recall. Actually, the 550rpm spin did a rather decent job, as I recall. It's not just how much force you build up, it is also how you set up the spin cycle and the length of time given which plays a role. I like these little machines, thanks for sharing! Oh, by the by, those micro-switches are pretty easy to get, you just have to be sure their rating is right. I wouldn't think you were going overboard to replace them all, either - that mechanism is very much dependent on everything working smoothly. They're cheap and a standard component, thank goodness. |

WOW! I saw this same washing machine in Harods way back in 1993 while on a 3 week excursion in London!!!I was so surprised at its size and would HAVE ( not "would of" ) loved to have seen them make toy macines identical to this one's dementions and design!!If I remember correctly,it's price was around 150 in British currancey (pounds). |

I have done videos but you tube is telling me to bugger off and it won't upload them. Don't think they are to big as it's not saying that but just that there is an error. Is there another site that I could try? Mark |
