HI there, Great looking machine. Tell me if I am wrong, but it looks like you have an AGA too? How cool is that? Gary |

Great pics Darren, looks in really good nic, where the pipes dried out?, have never taken a tub out, was it easy??
Mickey, great minds think alike, that was the first thing I thought about, I had never seen this type of machine from the "Inside", I assumed the red switches had wires etc, not perfectly designed flat rods connecting the switches to the gearbox, drive and pump... Cheers, Mike |

Hi Dave really good to hear your still using your Countess as a regular machine. What repairs are you doing ? It looks like a serious restoration with the gearbox being exposed . The coil on the motor looks like new. Have you had it replaced ? I have had lots of help from a chap in Lancashire who runs a spares shop. The hoses i have used are not original but are really good matches. If you email me i will get you the contact details. Look forward to a few more pictures if you get time. I have sent my Countess to the spray shop so looking forward to see the end result. I was very lucky that the machine was working and in good condition you can see from the agitator its not had much use. I will put a few more photos on when i get it back. Good luck with your repairs
All the best Darren |

Our machine is date code 64, which equates to April 1967... |
