Thanks for the suggestions hivemind.
I'll go
1) turn machine upside down, and shake a bit.
If that fails
2) do a wash and see if it turns up in the coin trap.
Will NOT wash with mustard, and thanks for the suggestion of the endoscope and I'ld be quite excited/disgusted to go on a trip in the innards of my washing machine but that still is only a diagnostic tool. I'ld need a long gripper with a camera of some sorts to be able to fish it out and I don't think my trauma surgeon friend is willing to borrow me his kit.
If 1 and 2 fail I could go and open it up, possibly finding that mentioned 90 degree pipe at the lowest point. Could also help me diagnose why the machine is rusting from the inside out but not looking fwd to that.
I once revived this very machine by internet diagnosing that a fubard heating coil was the reason for the ambivalent error code but there is a reason why tradesmen crawling inside of a washing machine command the prices that they do.
