Welcome Chris,
Well if the bearings are smooth then it's well worth doing up. Those 95 series machines are quite simply the best. Don't know if you have tested it out yet so i can't really give you any advice. Here is a picture of yet another machine that i have picked up today. It's a Hotpoint WM22 in brown & almond, i have not got around to testing it out yet but my bet is that it just needs a set of new motor brushes. Craig. |

there's plenty of us out there, you just have to track us down. Same with the vacuum collectors :). Where abouts in West Yorks are you?
Personally, I've never owned a Hotpoint, but I remember lots from the time - my Grandma had a 18361, my sister had a 9534 at uni and I've used a few since belonging to various collectors and I've always been impressed. Not sure if they're "the best", though. Quality control seemed to be severely lacking at Hotpoint and I know of a few people who had nothing but trouble with 95's and early WM's. Having said that, the people I knew that had good ones seemed to last forever. |

im so surprised at that sentance aquacycle, in my opinion no washer fan can be a true washer fan untill they've owned a proper Hotpoint.
hottiecrazy, well done on getting an almond 9530, ive got the machine which replaced the 9530 in its day, a 9534, in almond, mine needs alot of work but mechanically its sound, thats all you really need to think about, the outside condition dosent matter as long as its not rotted so much that it could fall apart, as long as it works without any problems you'll find it a great machine to run everyday phil |

West Yorkshire too!
Dewsbury - two sets of grandparents live in Batley! Anyway, for a good restoration a new door seal/gasket is a good choice if it is mouldy or leaking. Also, give the detergent draw a good scrubbing down, very easy to clean draw's. We had a 95620 New Generation when I was a boy which had lasted very well and only died when the bearings got shot, the spider cracked and the whole drum had almost fallen! Restoration is a good way of making money. I have got several machines in the past and made a bit off them :) Good luck with the Hottie, please can you upload some photos? Thanks Jacob :D |

The dryer was rubbish in it as well! It took 3 hours to dry a load and it had a lot of static. She replaced it with an Indepoint last year which is actually slightly better quality. |
