 The sun is shining brightly and it’s nice and warm, so back to the work shop for some real work, I’ve taken advantage of the un-seasonally warmouth. First thing fixed is the garage door which the springs broke on during the winter and it smacked me on the head. Then it striping off the cabinet ready to take to the paint shop.

Instruction manual cover for the 1851. Will try and photograph the entire manual for you Lee (not that its much different from any other Libertor 18-manual) and will add here over the coming weeks, as your machine progresses. Paul

Does Your Washer tell You Its A "Liberator"
It always baffles me when people scribble all over the front of a lovely colour manual, when most have a few pages blank at the back for such info.
Or is it just that us collectors want them pristine?? I do like to see scribbles from the owners though, sort of gives us a little glimpse into the life of the machines.. p.s, the number now sends you to a call centre, "Press 1 for Gaskets, 2 for Motors, 3 for instructions on "How to Wash" and 4 if you sadly own any other brand!!!

Hotpoint Liberator De Luxe 1851-03
Thanks chaps.
Paul you can hijack all you like if it anything to do with old Hotpoint’s I’ve come over all 18-series starry eyed and it's bloody good. When are you going to plug that machine in and try it out, come on I’m getting impatience. A teaser for someone else, is there going to be a separate thread for another 18-series, ho, goody goody. Gone all starry eyed again. Manual wow that’s great thanks. As you can see from the photos the rust is much worse than I first thought in the base plate, and the bottom edges of the cabinet are quite bad as well, not penetrating rust, just on the surface and it’s all flaky, I certainly cant do it myself, well I could but it would look ten times worse than it is now, I just don’t have the patience to spray paint anything, I want it done now and end up with runs and dribbles, no good at all, so I don’t mind paying a professional to do it. It’s a shame she has to live in the garage. I’ve had a busy weekend out in the work shop, Saturday the project machine had a little up-grade and I washed 4 loads it plus Sunday stripping the 1851/03 lets hope the good warm weather is going to last for some time. | ||

Liberator 1851 Manual I aim to collect manuals and other pieces of literature in either digital or paper form. Unfortunatley for me I'm having bother finding manuals or brochures. I also see that the 1851 that manual belonged to must have lasted into the 90's. Why so hard to find then? James. | ||

Back to early 1975... Hotpoint 1851 LIBERATOR DE LUXE & Hotpoint 1701 LIBERATOR DRYER The 1851 was replaced by the 1851/03 (Lee's machine), which boasted a restyled fascia and fabric conditioner compartment - hence the /03 bit...

Hotpoint Liberator De Luxe 1851-03
I’m in a very bad mood, powder coaters in Leominster I was going to using have let me down.
“Ho sorry we can’t fit anything that big in our small chemical tank to strip the old paint off, best find a back street car body shop to wet spray paint it” Bloody back street car body shop, don’t you realise this is the cream of British made washing machines from the early 70’s and requires only the best you absolute philistine. Bloody back street car bloody body shop. So I have found another one in Ledbury who have quoted £30 chemical stripping and £50 powder coat to a factory finish, so I will be going out there some time next week. And my computer is about to be sent out of the closed window if it dose not start to work bloody well right in a minute, I want a fag now, but I don’t smoke anymore do I. ARARAAARARAJRS. Calm, tranquil, unruffled, and relaxed I WANT A FAG NOW. no I don’t I want crack. | ||

Paul, just seen the video after shoving some more coal in this now very annoying computer which I think has been having unprotected sex on the internet and caught some sort of virus which is something it’s owner would never do unless under the influence of what ever is going.
ARARAAARARAJRS. Is that 18580 from Manchester by any chance? Both fine machines and cant wait for some footage of a full wash. Not sure about the white door on the 1824 it just doesn’t look quite right, I would not turn it away if one came my way thought. “What do you mean program not responding, you will respond when my foot enter your screen, now pull you self together NOW”. Screw chart, well I get a bit inpatient when I loos things and then loos my temper, the garage door it testament to that as my foot imprint is still there, and this dam computer is going to end up with the same treatment soon. “Program shutting down, I tell you what to do you piece of sh 1 t.” I’m off to sit in a dark room, hopefully Norton 360 can sort this stupid computer out or my fist just might have to, I’m not violent at all. | ||

Evening all, not much to say other than have a great weekend.
As you can see the computer is working this evening, Norton 360 says it has found threats and fixed them, You dirty little slut of a computer, but it's running a bit slow, maybe I need a new one. You would have thought Hotpoint would have made a few of the 1840’s Lee | ||

1840's Appeared to have got very close to the production stage. I'd say only a handful of prototypes existed and of course got lost after the clearout. Lee try leaving your PC overnight to defragment, same to you Paul. It works wonders. Also try disc clean up. Both accessible from the control panel. James. | ||

While I’m waiting for the panels to come back from the powder coaters I have spent some time treating the rust on the lip of the outer tub.
I’m on a few days holiday, and have had enough nagging from her-indoors “the lawn needs mowing; you could vacuum the house, are you going to do anything” so I did some thing very useful, was glad to have some piece and quite out in the workshop.
