Hoover
Hello Paul So Hoover were still making proud door models then!!!.......the only thing that threw me a bit was the motor had the later than my keymatic type connector, so dates were a mystery becuase i was thinking it cant be 1970.........so yes 1980 makes sense Budget model oh yes without a doubt ;-)......... Brilliant of you to provide this info so quickly and pictures :-) Now where the bloody hell to put it!.............the bendix will have to go! It definateley cheered me up getting this machine today........sort of compensation for not being able to attend the meet up this weekend.......... if you spot a soap draw front that will fit then i would be interested Thanks Paul Ps how did you meeting go? did they like your unusual cargo :-) | ||

Bendix Autodryer
This is the one i got last thursday from a customer at work, if you look up the above thread its there, Mike saw it Well thanks for your help. Yes petty penny pinching savings are annoying in some ways but of course they do set the machines apart. Hoover Spares!!!!!!!!! HOPELESS :-).......some dis-interested cow sat behind a screen being payed crap money.....i wont waist my time ;-) It is nice to get another machine. Tell me hows Rob........whats he up to he has been quiet of late Gary | ||

Judging by the darker facia on the skip machine, Mathew, i'd deduce it had lived in a very smokey atmosphere. The difference in facia colour is really noticeable. Paul | ||

Colours
Hello Mat & Paul Yes that is a darker colour, probably smoked a pipe i reckon Well I tried out the old nail today, and it works!........blimey the motor sounds as sweet as a nut....programer has that nice click and whirring noise......I refitted the right hand suspension in its mount HEres the bad bits, It has the wrong door boot, it is the later type that requires a tension band and consequently it leaks from the door a bit, it is soaped to F..k inside, i put half dose of Daz in there and put it on a 60 degree wash and suds city formed in no time...........so i put it through a rinse cycle, the shite that came out the outlet hose...........blurrch.........but for all that it works.......tried a spare A3110 soap draw on the front but no good, different size. Anyway i quite like its crude finish so it can stay, i had to stack the twin tub ontop of the Bendix dryer to get all this in.............. Mat Keymatic Motor re-build has worked, mind it is not as quiet as the AS1 motor *evil grin* SO Mat & Paul have great weekend oop north.......:-)....Hopefully i will one day be able to make it a get together........ Ps Hoover A3100............sod off I like that aswell :-) Gary | ||

old OOVAH !
Well Paul I hope you and Rob enjoyed the weekend break in Washer heaven :-) Well a soap draw would be nice thanks for that. I had the Keymatic running and the AS1 today, sorted door leak (almost) ran it through a 90 degree wash with some old garage cloths in it......timer and motor work suspension a bit iffy...........but for all that i do like it. Paul A3100 yes and any other.........christ where does it end??? :-)....... Erm, i want to go for the A3060.......any thoughts? The mad git in Cornwall
