Retro Creda Spindryer – looking for rubber outlet

[100mel]

I have an old creda spindrier – it is a superb spindrier – I am currently restoring the exterior – the one problem is the rubber water outlet moulding which has completely perished. Does anyone know of anywhere where I could obtain a moulding etc to fit

I guess this is too old a one but this is such a great machine I really don’t want to scrap it for no good reason

Hope someone might possibly be able to help

A sbowball in hells chance sadly. The rubber spout was changed to a plastic one more than 30 years ago. 😯

If my memory serves me correctly the grey rubber outlet was almost square where it entered the cabinet. The later plastic one was very much oblong so the chance of even getting the later one to fit is unlikely.

Yes you are absolutely right – it is kind of square – the rubber is actually attached fixed between two pieces of metal which then screws to body – I was just hoping that there might exist a rubber moulding or one could be made which might fit but sounds like this could be for the scrap metal man –

thanks anyway

You might be able to fashion one from the type of glass fibre stuff used for car motor bodies or a thin sheet of aluminum.

cockney steve would be a good man to ask about make do and mend ‘fettling’. 😆

Might be worth a word with http://www.automaticwasher.org/ . Restorers and fans of old laundry equipment…

The site itself is fascinating.
