Hi Paul, I'm afraid the Creda has been returned to its original glossy white enamel finish as you will see now in the next couple of posts I'm about to write up. James |

Since my last update, I applied two further coats of Hammerite to the potential 'troublesome areas' of the outer tub before fitting a new dispenser-tub hose, new backplate seal and refitting the backplate and inner drum assembly to the tub. |

Bear with me as I've taken loads of pictures since the weather was so good and the lighting was perfect! I'll start off with the unique Creda drum just as Mike has finished off with above.

15 minutes spent removing the sellotape residue and polishing up the door left a superb finish that really adds another dimension to the machine and it's not often you have a chrome door with no pitting!

A few photos of the top depicting the single motor Crouzet programmer amongst other components. The top weight is cast metal but I can't determine what type of metal it is. I hope these are okay for you Paul? |

Overall view of the rear which isn't that much different to a Hoover washer. |

A few close ups of the GEC motor most commonly fitted to Hotpoint washers and later fitted to Servis washers until the Merloni takeover. The module was manufactured by Mullard who also made modules for Hoover. |

Last but not least I'll sign off for the night with a photo of it on test (programme 1). That's a wrap folks! I'll get it installed on Thursday morning and aim to get a programme filmed soon once the wooden house in back in order. Bye for now, James

Hi Craig, I'm getting work done to my wash house, so I can't use anything apart from the Hoover New Wave, Hotpoint 1509 and Hotpoint 1600 for the time being. I'm hoping the work will be finished soon so I can get it back to normal. James |

Ah yes, another morning's coffee time spent on a restoration thread on aw.org instead of attending to my own much less interesting administrivia. I never knew that paint finish was called Hammerlite. A GREAT read. Thanks! Jim |
