now for the difficult bit. Involved tearing out the top outer bearing, befor the inner bearing could be knocked out. 33 years meant that they were a b1tch to remove...

manky! hands were heavily stained with rust, if you touched the old bearings set. I kept the old bearing from the microprofile, but this set was way beyond salvage...

and too the back. will we need a new backplate?!!! as you will be able to see from the right hand side of the chassis, in this picture, this machine has had one hell of a long term leak. It will be resprayed in the fullness of time, to undo the work of the leak...

Awesome Electron Paul! My grandmother bought one of these machines second hand when her Servis SupaTwin died and was sent into the shed for me to play with. It was a slightly different colour, more a lighter grey colour. It also had a delay start dial, slightly smaller just next to the programmer. We never used the powder drawer button. The drawer was just as easily opened by pulling on the bottom (grandma had long nails so was easy enough for her). Oh the memories. It never had a chrome strip around the door, this was lost by its previous owner so its weird seeing one with it attached, the pic with it removed is much more familiar to me. Hope this one lasts a while :-) i think it was the timer that went on grans in the end, coz we had to move it along manually to each stage :-) | ||

Well Paul excellent job on the Hoover 800, a very smart looking piece of Hoover History..........its very nice......now if Mike will release it from his wharehouse you will find it a peice of pi.s to service up. The same for the Hotpoints very smart machines. Now where the bloody hell is ROB ?????? is he lost inside a Hotpoint time line???????? have you packed him away in a storage unit by accident? or has he moved in to a storage unit and refusing to leave as he cant have all favourite machines about him Thanks Paul for posting these excellent pictures and videos Gary | ||

Mouldy Old Dough
Im here along with a voice like Lieutenant Pigeon's Wish I was living at storage LOL. Would have bene around more had I not got a stinking cold. Done myself worse by going into work instead of staying off. Over the worst of it now but still feel rough and looking rough. 1 day until the weekend thank god, weekend will be spent dust busting this place. Something in this house is making me cough. Will be getting that Duvet washed along with the curtains, mats and maybe even a good old carpet vaxing. Cue the Hoover Turbomaster........ Just so glad no machines require immediate attention. I hope I aint spoken too soon though, | ||
