Mikeys kindly bought it along to taste and is in charge of the pour, a local cider from Oh The Hills in Welsh Wales !! Called "Rosies Wicked Wasp" doesn't taste alcoholic, lovely apply juice taste,
its farmed on LLandegla Moors where we used to go as kids walking and later my cousin who now re-sprays the washers used to take us in his Ford Escort RS Turbo spinning wheels on the dirt tracks !! CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK | ||

Then its ready to use the Vintage Kenwood 1960`s dishwasher with rotor spinning tube to wash all the dishes, now its great that Mark and Richard love vintage dishwashers as much as the washers so its never a case of "Whose Turn Is It" to fill the beauties !!

It was a glorious Bank Holiday weekend for the weather, unheard of for dear old Blighty, 28d and hot sun, so up went the gazebo and sun brollies to protect the ever delicate Brit skin...
Jon had bought a Hoover New Wave, collected up north by Richard, this was the last big series change produced by Hoover in the 90`s, everything was thought through and new, bigger drum, polycarbonate outer drum, spray action, spin washing where the drum spins with wash water forcing the hot soapy water through the clothes..BUT they did have a tendency to mellow yellow whatever was white...

Load the Ariston 70`s dishwasher that was bought in Italy for a new build hose that eventually had fitted appliances, so this was kept boxed as new in the garage until sold a few years ago!!

What a great weekend it was, I am always keeping my fingers crossed that it will at least be dry, but it was almost too hot at the weekend and we all had to attend to wearing sun block to avoid sun burn.
Thanks to all for making it such a fun weekend with lots of useful work done too and thanks again to Mike to documenting it all so it is not just committed to memory but others can share the machines and the fun. John, it would be great to see you over here again so hopefully we shall have the pleasure of your company in 2020. And that invitation goes to others too - both within the UK and outside. We had two new faces this weekend and we look forward to seeing them again in the future. Here's looking forward to the next one :) Al | ||

Fab thread Mike and some great colourful pictures of a lovely pride weekend. Love the one in reply 58 where Richard is being a geisha girl and nearly knocking me out with the patio brolly! Great to be able to work on some of these old machines and learn new techniques from each other.
S :) BTW Mathew - you look like you are trying to undertake sabotage to that Hoovermatic! (Not that you would) | ||

Plus more fun than taking the ferry from Wisconsin to Michigan (John L) "combo 52" to visit friends and repair a vintage dishwasher, but close! You and car ride on top of the ferry. | ||
