Is to drift out the cotta pin sercuring the pulley to the spin drum shaft. Typical, the photo I took is after I'd removed it. |

to the drum end, you can start to see the corrosion I was about to face. |

complete with spin drum goes through the rubber mounts, the brake mounting plate and then the large nut goes on to secure the whole thing, and the metal leaf get bent up to stop the nut working loose. |

and brake reattached, you can now see the cotta pin in the large pulley mounting block. Also put the belts back on. |

the washtub, i found it easier to attach the rubber gaskets onto the top deck, and then put the spinner in positon and clamp it onto the outer container. |

Hello Mat Looks like you had a good weekend:-) and a worthwhile one aswell, these are such lovely machines And of course you will have scored extra brownie points with a certain scouser for getting a Servis sorted I had a bit of a Servis moment this weekend aswell, looking in our local 2nd hand shop and saw this (not a bargain but he says he is open to offers) Gary Ps one day i shall get back to the 3060 and finish that (if it doesnt finish me off first) |

Thanks for the pictures and details - there is a small leak in the spinner of my Supertwin as well but I think it may be in the outer casing. I really enjoy washing in the Supertwin, quiet and smooth it just gets on with the job without drama or tangling. I thought the inner lid would be a real pain but in practice I find it does not bother me that much :) Gary, that was the first machine my mother had - it will be hanging around a long while at that price.

Great restore Mathew, always good to see pics for the future reference, good job of the rust coating, should last now, as long as it keeps being used as the daily driver and retire those hard ridden Ooovass...
I`ll let you off with inner lid, was always a faff, but as Al says you get used to it!!, This was the last supertwin with the three controls and the indicator lights, the next model 110 going to electric pumps!! |

Hi, does your servis supertwin 108 have a lint filter?, all mine has is a round drain with holes in it under the agitator. Im guessing thats it? john |

Actually no, I believe that is just a pump guard and should not be removeable. I hate that guard with a passion as it created a rust hole in mine, which thankfully I have been able to repair and enjoy this wonderful machine. The lint filter is in the upper, removeable part of the agitator, the bit just below the securing nut which sits on top of the agitator. I believe it is rather like the lint fiter in the older Maytag top loaders. Maybe my clothes dont have much lint (they are mostly washed, beautifully clean, in a front loader) but the filter in mine did not seem to trap much lint. Al |

now Ive seen the filter, no this 108 doesnt have one. But you can see the water surge through where it would be, so maybe not as effective as the filter flow principle, but it would be a second best. mathew |

Ah I see, no unfortunately my 111 doesnt have the white plastic lint filter either but has the identical two part agitator as mike has shown in the picture. Were they not all equipped with them then? |

Welcome to AW. I am sure that it will not be long before Mike or Matthew can advise on the correct bearings, they may even have some in their parts stashes. As you can see I am not far from you (see the thread "A New Vintage Washroom) and indeed Paul & Rob are also close (Ripley)so its possible that if Matthew is visiting either of us you could bring your machine over for a repair - the spin can on my 100 is still leaking and I hope Mathew can do a masterclass so I can learn how carry out the repairs myself Al |
