a "wobbling cube" that is, a name that it is dubbed here with, you know: The small top loader AEGs like Novamat, 64SL, Lavamat 220-240 and so forth.

Just 1.- € (pick-up only), ok the guy didn't have enough change in his pocket so it was some 2.30 alltogether.

I just love that small little bugger and oh-ho! it even features a carbon brushed motor with some whooping 600 rpm.! (On its way to the future, when solid-state eprom computers will yet have to come true).

So it is rattling away with its small mechanical timer gears, nodding along trustworthily whenever the jeans are slopped up and down in that drum.

No footage here, as Louis and others have ample video and picture proof of that lovely machine.
I am just glad having it, had to share it with you :-)

Congratulations and welcome to the club of owners of dancing laundry machines. LOL

So, what's the model number of yours?

hey Louis,

thank you! It is the Lavamat 220 (the one you have, too, right?)

Yes, I have a 220 too. It spins with 650rpm. With a magnet you can use it with the lid up.

Congrats, and welcome to the club...I have a Lavamat 240. I am still looking for the brown control knobs for mine.

which one?

hey Guy,


I will keep an eye on that if you tell me which knob you need. (They are very rare here, too).

And if you can make a diagram of the cycles, they might be slightly different from model to model.

Just give me a shout.
Joe
