started doing a few printers this arvo and quickly got bored with it so went for a walk around the block.
spotted a big washing machine just put out, I know this 'cos it was there, with cord which usually go within 25 minutes.
so I quickly walked back, took out the tv's I had ready for the mornings drop and picked it up.
i've got a few mid sized washers I'm using as outside benches so haven't scrapped them out yet, the only washing machine i've ever done was a 25 y/o one last year, seen many but usually I don't have room as they take up the entire back of the hatch.
This one was a fisher & paykel, kinda newish.
I started on the top panel with the switches and almost forgot I was scrapping a washer and not something more electrical, there were a couple boards, wires and things, was interesting anyway.
the tub was steel, nothing there so I turned it over to get to the motor..
the little thing seems to be the pump motor which came off easily, nice little chunk of copper you can see.
Then I unscrewed that plastic cap to remove that big plate and look at this..
major mojo! look closer..
even closer..
and so close you can almost taste it..
well that's as far as I got, after I had my orgasmic event the sun went down and I remembered the first time I did a washer the thing almost sprung out at me pretty intensely so i wanna be on the ball this time.
so tommorow will be the final scrapping session, I even like the steel shaft, I want that in my collection of steel bits.
