Workings contained within the console - programmer, inlet valves, heat selector (electric flyback), motor start relay, microswitches for "bio" and "slow spin" options and the pressure switch with water level switches behind. |

Programme guide which is pretty much intact (very nice!) and "filter clean" tray with the detachable ring that goes around the edge which "was only fitted to a small quantity of machines - why?). |

Arty shot #2 - the iconic coloured buttons have survived fairly well apart from the rose coloured "bio" button which has "gone off" but not crumbling thankfully!

Close ups of the controls - nice and straightforward to use with ergonomic knobs and pushbuttons as well as see at a glance what stage the programme is at with the programme indicator. No clutter and certainly no 21 programmes that the owner will never use! |

Evening all, Just a few extra pictures featuring some vintage washing powder courtesy of our very own Hass and Lance. It's so nice to have something like this which can be used as props. It really makes the picture! |

Finally for tonight, an arty picture that looks like something one would see on a flyer or in a magazine promoting the machine and a particular detergent/detergents. Regards, James
