    I’m putting this in me shop…

    What a beaut! 😀 All it needed was a modern plug. Speaking of which…

    It’s 2010! And I’m still fixing twin tubs! But check out what I found at the back…

    The whole kitchen was like that! 15amp plugs, and very old appliances.

    Talikng of which.
    Been called to a 9600 with aleak. Date code 07.
    Both pump and bellows seal have gone and if poss I would like to repair it for them. The seal is still available at M’part but can’t remember if it’s worth a stab. Only did one MANY moons ago and seem to remember it wasn’t over successful due to PUK corrosion. Plus does the top of the power unit have to come? off
    Reckon it’s worth a try, or am I pointing yet another luger at me toes :rolls:

    At the age it is you will be very unlikely to be able to make a good seal between the new bellows seal and the top of the PU support tube. 😥

    Yeah, seem to reccomember that was the case last time. 😥
    Really is a shame as the machine is in good nick apart from the obvious but would hate to spend an hour plus on it and still get nowhere. When I was at HPT and the 9605 was still in production the trainers told us if the seal leaks change the PUK. There may have been a reason other than the ££££ in the job then 😉

    Can’t think of a single one, I changed hundreds of support tubes over the years without any problems..

    That tumble drier is just a baby, spotted this in an old dears kitchen a couple of months ago! circa 1955 and is still in use 😀
