Hi guys, my name is Léo, I'm a new member here.
I collect and restore vintage washing machines. Here is some machines of my little collection: -Arthur-Martin 792.08 (very nice top loading machine, modified for have the half load function on cottons programs). -Bosch V461 (needs to glue the detergent drawer pipe). -Brandt Statomatic 416 (pictured) -Brandt Statomatic 418 (one of my favorite machine) -Laden LN6905 (the infamous "T12" chassis but in great condition). -Philips T635 (one of the first Philips machine with electronic speed control). -Vedette 5583LUXE (almost the same design of the Statomatic). ...etc One of my other hobby is dismounting and fixing washing machine mechanical timers (I collect them too !) I also love vintage hifi, especially high end cassette decks. Cordially Léo |

Hi, thank you for your hospitality.
I love Crouzet timers, especially the beige ones (Most of the Brandt Statomatic use them). Another of my favorites timers are the Sibel (like the one on my profile picture) because you can see the mechanism, they are used in many French machines. Here is the Arthur-Martin 792.08: |
