A piece of Qualicum Beach history! The Snow White Motel used this for ironing their sheets, linens and tablecloths. We cannot get the mangle to work properly. It worked fine when we last used it, maybe about ten years ago, and never tried it when I posted the ad. If you are, or you know someone who is, mechanically-inclined (we're not!), here are the symptoms that may allow someone to troubleshoot and repair it. There is a switch to turn on the heat, and levers to press the roller against the heating pad. The heat works, roller turns, but the motor that is supposed to press the roller against the pad whirs but doesn't do it's intended job. If someone can figure out the problem -- maybe a broken linkage somewhere? -- it should be repairable.
