Please share with us some pictures of this wonderful and hard to find machine! I'd love to buy it off you but the problem for me is that I live in Ireland and I'm up against people who would have more money for their hobby.

James.

A Hotpoint Liberator front load washer? Nah, no interest on here mate. Ten a penny. And if it's got a purple door you won't give it away (can't see inside, see). Just so happens I'll be in Manchester this week and could take it off your hands as a favour ;-)

Tear jerking!!!

Hi all,

I want to make a request. Can I arrange for any of you to save this for me so I can find a way to get it over here? I'm never going to get these in Ireland and I literally cried over not being able to get a purple ever.

Sad James...

I know it must be frustrating for you, but you are new to the collecting bit, the purples are a delight, and look, I`ve never see one and then two come up in two days....

So who knows, there is stuff out there, you have to be patient and it will find you, usually when you least expect it and are not looking for it...

keep looking with enthuisiasm and you will find stuff!!! in the meantime enjoy whats about, keep asking questions and be open to the learning!!!

Cheers, Mike

Thanks Mike

Yeah Im probably getting wound up over nothing. There are around 70000000 people in the UK and Ireland and there are probably many rarities hiding about. The downside though is that I can't buy machines until Im 18.

Hopefully Paul and Robs videos will be up soon. Whats the difference between their machine and this one? Theirs is model 1828 from 1976 and this one is 1851 from 1975.

May I add your email?

James.

Hiya James.

Mirroring what Mike has said - you will find stuff eventually and stuff is out there.
Also the older bits of kit are about on your shores - just look at all the stuff that Mark gives a home too.

One day you will come across something that will make all the frustrations worth while.

Gary has had his A3190, A3794 and recently his second keymatic all thanks to his long running adverts.
Myself and Rob have had the Hotpoint 1826 and Hotpoint 18371 simply through my posts on this very site!

Your patience will pay off. Its just a matter of waiting.

Paul

Hi justin.

Lovely machine you have there and cheers for posting the pics of it. Good to see detailed shots of the 1851/03, as have only ever seen small piccies of one before.

Restored?

electron1100's profile picture
Hello Justin

Great machine to see on the site.
Can I just ask about what appears to be some touch up painting on the front panel, around the soap draw area and the bottom of the door surround.

It looks like these areas have rusted (not uncommon on these machines) and they have just been painted over or have they been treated with de-rust and then painted, is the case?
If it is, it is not a problem only i would like to know before i consider making an offer for the machine

Thanks
Gary

Enamel inner drum

Wow, this one seems to have the vitreous enamelled inner drum, very rare indeed. I believe they changed to stainless steel in 1976.

Hi Gary, yes there was slight rusting around the powder tray as is to be expected i guess which has been treated, primed and painted

Please note : to all fellow collectors interested in purchasing her i have put her up on the website manchester gumtree for sale under collectables, it should go live soon. For a further description on the libby and more info and pricewise have a nosey there

Hi Justin, good luck with the offers over £350, rare machine but many have paid much less for rarer...but down to whoever wants to pay the price!!!

Confirmation

chestermikeuk's profile picture
Hi Justin

Can you confirm the liberator is in working order, no leaks, timer issues etc..

Has it had a re-build, can you confirm the pulley is original??

I see the pump is an after market model

Has it been restored by yourself or repairman.

Regards, Mike

Pulley

electron1100's profile picture
Hello Mike
I wondered about that, as all the early machines had cast metal pulleys like my 18370, i noticed the pump aswell not that it is a problem, but it always best to know the history of a machine if your laying out serious dosh for it

Pulleys & Parts

chestermikeuk's profile picture
Same here, all cast here as well....its interesting how you can take any of the 18 series and all bar the 3 legged suspension....(was it better??) they all look similar just cosmetic...

I could whip up one from the stash of parts, beautiful new mint in box cardboard fascia, buttons and knobs that can well match Crewe..(slap) and whizz it through the spar, and who`d know...pack in my day job...

What, What was that??...Oh you`d lot would know!!!...oh well then, there you go!!!

And dont those pulleys rattle like a metronome when they break!!!

slap!

a postitive and repetitive series of canings! lol.

Indeed they are very modular and, with the right collection of bits, they can be converted - option button functions permitting - to whichever model you want.

Very useful for spares supply, especially when you think that the mechanical side of the machines ran for 25 years through all versions of 18-series, through New and Next Generation 95-series, continuing onwards through the 95-WM and Pure-WM.

Paul

Pulley, looks the same as the one I had, it should be grooved for a multivee belt, should look the same as the shaft on the end of the motor.
