Hi all,

Well... I've been very busy all weekend. Fixing the last few problems and by Sunday the two machine's were finally finished with. Sunday evening cam around and I decided to wheel them out for my first wash of 2011 to celebrate the two lovely new machine's. Everything went very well throughout the wash and I was really happy to find after that there were no patches under the machine's.

Hoover 3102E Single Tub of March 1970.
Hotpoint 1018 Spinner of March 1975.

Here is a link to the video of the day and pictures are to follow on this thread.

James,

Your fisrt picture ably demonstrates the reason why Hoover single tubs became so popular in the first place - because they fitted so easily underneath the draining board in a small kitchen - well done, great job

Thanks for the comments so far guys. I'm really proud to own two lovely machines at a young age and the Wash House is a boon too.

Now for some arty shots!

I have just noticed a small error in the video. I misleadingly typed March 1970/1975 instead of June 1970/1975 in two scenes.
