We had hard time finding some new spare parts. But nothing is impossible. Replacing the broken door was the hardest task, but a kind guy from Poland had sent us a door of a Polar washing machine which were manufactured under license of gorenje. The new door fits perfectly. Here she is, after its reconstruction. Ingemar

Classic Gorenje
Great restoration there, I like those bow fronted machines, whats the spin speed about 600rpm??, this machine has a few similarities to the wide bodied Hoover washing machine range, such as hinged top lid,2 strut / 4 hung spring suspension and similar vitreous enamel drum/ bearing unit!! Its a stunner all restored, well done and looking forward to seeing more restorations, Mike | ||

Zanussi/Rex on the right
Thanks very much for posting the picture of the machine on the right. It is indeed the Zanussi I remember, and it amy even have been called a "Superluxe" also. If I remember correctly, there was another version as well, with two smaller buttons in the place of the large single button. There was a matching dishwasher too with, unusually, a lock more or less in the position of the large button which you turned through 180 degrees to release the door. Al | ||

Well Done
Hi that looks excellent, and yes as Mike says there are simularities with the old wide bodied Hoovewr washing machines. Tell me did you re-spray the cabinet? It looks and sounds great a real washing machine! The Zanussi In my early days at work i humped one of these very heavy buggers into the skip, if I knew then what i know now.........ah well Proper Job lads Thanks | ||

Hi Mike, the counterweight on the front of the tub is separate. It's "bolted" with a big ring that keeps together the two parts. (like a sealed lid) The same as shown on the picture of the hoover with the top opened. Mike, the black hose on the right side is the one that connects the detergent dispenser to the tub? It's kinda strange to be so low. Hi Michael, the machine is economical indeed. It has no cool down and the 5 rinses are made in low water level, but still uses much more water that the new one does :)) The yard and the neighborhood is at Riccardo's place. You are right at AW.org we can see many interesting things. Ingemar | ||
