Tell You Its A "Liberator"...yay, well done to you Lee for all your effort,what a fab restore..looks ready for the maiden wash, are we all coming round with our laundry then??
As the powder draw doesnt have any letroset stencilling why not try the bleaching technique to lighten it, nothing to lose on this one!! I love these old washers with the baseplate, we should rig one up with clear sides to watch the action, theres your next job..LOl Enjoy, Mike |

Thanks folks.
Mike, I have toyed with the bleaching of the powder draw as you pointed out nothing to lose. Once the base was on and on her feet I did think, clear Perspex sheets for the sides and top, but I could not do that, would not be right, but if some thing else was to come along it may get that treatment. Maiden wash in a few days, I have a felling it not going to run smooth to start with and will require some fine tuning, especially the water levels. |

Hi, Paul
What do you think of it? Is it exactly what you had hoped for? It was worth the effort just to preserve the machine, don’t think the paint is as thick as the original and I did chip the bottom edge re-fitting the cabinet which was inevitable, time will tell if the dreaded rust creeps in, I whish I could keep all the machines in the house not out in the cold garage. As for the L5, can you get the cabinet off like on the early Hotpoint’s? If I had to do another machine I think I would try a car body shop to compare the finish. I think the powder drawer will stay as is, I can only see it peeling off if re-sprayed. Now for the next restoration, ho, I’ve done them all. No the bearings need doing on the 95622 that’s next. P.S. when are we going to see the 1828/02 |

Hi paul. No worries with the pic. Hopefully it will have its own thread in the fullness of time. Fingers crossed! Paul |

Looks and sounds great Lee! Motor sounds just like mine does - you can certainly detect the difference in the sound between the old and newer 95 era motors. Roll on the spin vid. Paul |
