Looks good,
Oh the other word of warning, you will find yourself unable to look at houses if you should want to move without reckoning up if the kitchen taps will fit twinny hoses, alcoves and pokey's to store them and the kitchen sink being able to take a U hook for the drain hose without toppling out while the spinners pumping out the suds like Niagara Falls. Told ya t'was a way of life hahaha :) |

Si, its a group keymatic, found by Gary (electron 1100) and was collected by John & me, it needed the bearings replaced and a full overhaul, so hence a mini mini meet to get it sorted ready for the unveiling.... Hass, yes we are getting stuff in order for the next meet that we hope you and Si can join us.... heres another addition that being checked out and spinning, a 1932 model...Ah Lils Wesher...as we say in Darlo.... |

Hey Si, sorry I couldn't get to message you earlier. I was in the garden all day with my Dad having some father and son time. I've been exploring the wonders of my IPad recently brought for my birthday. So been doing some photography work, taking pictures if my Dads mad garden, while he was chopping a tree down, lol.
Yeah dude it's all you can do while your ill, pain in the neck I know, but you'll be back on your feet in no time. Hope you enjoyed the movie and yes drinks lots of fluids! @Mike excellent, hope we can make it. Look forward to it ;) |

That particular Empress does not have a heater, but they were available with heaters - if you check Lance's recent thread "Servis Mark Two Heater" (with Parnall, Servis Supertwin & Empress) you can see where the heater control is on his - on the centre front towards the door for wringer storage.

My mum had that exact same Electronic 1100, good machine. The idea with the belt tensioning, I noticed that the motor wobbles slightly, I think I might get hold of some polystyrene myself! |
