This is Just a through go to the British Heart Foundation shop look at their machine's some are old models some are newer around your price range but the have all been checked and tested and ALL come with a 12 months warranty ticket.(not many people know that) If you can find a similar Hotpoint 63 you get to keep ALL the bits off yours for SPARES,(except spider and drum of course)
