Is this acceptable for a factory first cocotte?

It also wobbles slightly on all flat surfaces, but this is my 3rd exchange and all have had this issue.

Washing machine shaking my apartment

I think there might be something wrong with my new washing machine. When I got it, the drum could be turned smoothly when there was nothing in it. Now it meets some resistance at some points when I try to turn it. This has also coincided with the washing machine making my entire apartment shake when it does a spin cycle - which must also be uncomfortable for my neighbours. It didn’t do this before, so I wonder if it’s related to the drum getting caught on something when spinning.

I'd appreciate some advice on whether there is anything simple I can do to fix this before bothering my landlord! Thanks in advance

Restoring leather jacket after getting drenched in rain

Hey

I got very wet in the rain whilst wearing my favourite leather jacket. I let it air dry inside my apartment out of the sun, but it feels a bit stiff and dry now and also seems to have a more pronounced patina and "ripples/creases" than before. (Pic attached).

Is there anything I can do restore it to full heath (leather conditioner?), or should I just continue wearing it and hope for the best?

Thanks!

Gear system on an old puch road bike broken - possible to repair?

I have an old puch road bike. I was in a small accident a few days, bike seemed fine and continued using it daily as usual. But yesterday I tried to change the gear (it's one of those old friction lever systems), and the rear derailleur moved and got caught in the spokes of the back wheel, and brought my bike to a grinding halt. It's obviously quite messed up now and all bent. I have no idea how to fix something like this, and I was wondering what is the likely outcome if I take a bike of this age to a repair shop? Just wanted to get an idea before I do.

Thanks in advance!
