Morning
WM is on OH got it to work last night, it seems once we had dragged it out of its housing, and got the back off it, the drive belt had come off the drum and motor drive, goodness know why that would happen.
Seems his DIL had an emergency section to have the baby, he still has not been able to contact is son, but his daughter rang him and updated him, but mother and babe are ok.
Listies at the ready
Ebay listing, listed 22 so far this morning, rest to do later.
