Naw.. What you really want is a Hotpoint 1090 Empress. Large 1/4 horsepower British Thopmson Hueston motor with centrifugal start switch, massive separate gearbox..oh yes, did I forget to mention the powered wringer.

I can still remember the part numbers for the gearbox and post nut, the last time I repaired one of these must be over 25 years ago.

PS, Both Hotpoint and Bosch have had major bearing problems with their machines in the past couple of years.
