Here you can see the twin air outlet, the fine fibre mesh to collect fluff and the flexi exhaust hose..

Posts like this are why I love this site.
I haven't been to the UK for about 30 years. The last time I was there I stayed with a college friend at his parents' apartment in London on Cadogan square. The Wortman's had a huge beautiful kitchen with one of those top-loading Hotpoints fitted into a corner. Of course I "noticed" it.
It's nice to know there are potential new friends there.

What great pictures!! I really enjoyed these posts and being able to put faces to your names. Looks like a good time was had by all. And what a beautiful setting for your vintage washroom, not to mention your large collection of machines.
Thanks so much for sharing this with your bro's across the pond. Eddie |

Thanks for posting Mike. I didn't take any photos at all - too busy enjoying myself. thanks everyone for the comments too. I've had the cabin a while now but it's taken ages to get it sorted out and set up so it was great to have a few friends down to "test" it down in London.
Louis - yes it does do the spin drains - I've attached a link to a video I did when I first got it. It has a 1000 spin on it which was fast for the era. I will start a new thread on the AEG shortly as the spilt bellows is the least of its problems unfortunately. Hopefully though it's all solvable. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sesteve's LINK |

Hi Louis
I was lucky enough to pick up the service manual for the HN3156 which describes the functions quite well. Unfortunately the diagrams are not as clear as they might be. I'll scan them and pop it up here for interest. Paul - thanks for the comments. will defo get you guys down at some point soon as this was just a bit of a test run before the work starts on the house. There is a bit of seepage on the slimstar but it's mainly because the seals on the lid are degrading. All that splashing with the spin drain has to go somewhere lol. Thanks too for all the other lovely comments guys. S |

First off congratulations to all for saving these great machines . Back in the day when we used to repair the Slimstars we found out that leakage was caused by the drum accelerating into spin too fast. In extreme cases water can be forced out of the drum vent slot at the back of the machine. Its caused by the variator belt wearing, the smaller thick grey belt. I recently saved a new old stock one so if someone needs it let us know. Regards nigel.

Hi Nigel. A public thank you for the SlimStar belt. Once the garage is settled and I can get to the machine, I will give it a whirl. Thanks again. Paul |

Funny enough the Slimstar was sold by Philips as CC1000, just like it's wider predecessor. I remember seeing a Philips ad in my mother's women's magazine. I just kept staring at it! lol
Unfortunately I can't find that add back, but I found the machine back in a few other ads. |
