I finally stumbled across a Hotpoint WM72P Ultima. It's a machine that i've been after for quite some time.

Sadly the bearings were completely shot on it so i decided to transfer the complete front onto my WM22A. I can't believe just how easy it was to swap it all over.

With the Hotpoint WM22 Autowasher being a 1000rpm machine i will stick to the same spin speed limits with this WM72 Machine ie a maximum speed of 1000rpm.
