When I was about 7 or 8 . . . . . . years old living in the small town of Wake Forest, NC, there was an old house downtown. One day my mother needed to see the lady who lived there. When we went in, I was dumbfounded to see a room with Bendix washing machines on three walls. Most of them...

I find it interesting . . . . . . that at first glance, the Malleys looks like the second generation of the Bendix Economat. They certainly look like interesting, entertaining machines. Good luck with the restoration. Jerry Gay

Great find!!!! Congratulations!!! You'll enjoy these machines. They look to be in good shape. Let us know how they run. Fun machines. Jerry Gay

Good luck with the timer issue. I hope you get that worked out simply. Don't forget, this machine fills on a time basis. You'll have to stay with it to move the dial or you'll have a mess on your hands. Good luck. Jerry Gay

Great work!!!! I love the way your laundry room turned out. The floor reminds me of my grandfather's bathrooms from many years ago. And I love the Westinghouse laundry machines. The washer cleans well and is practically silent except when it spins. I always thought the dryers were superior...

I love my F&P . . . . . . dish drawers. They are the standard size that have been working flawlessly for about 10 years. They are quiet and efficient. I like the idea of running them more often than a standard size machine because when I need a certain utensil with which to cook or mix...

I have a 12 . . . . . . year old F&P washer and top load dryer. Never a problem with the washer. It does a superb job with the washing and at the time was the only top load that spun at 1000 rpm. No complaints with it. The dryer has been a good one, too. However, I did have a service call...

Congratulations!!! I LOVE my SQ FL washer. You've made a good choice. Mine leaked a couple of drops of water from the door when I first got it. I made sure the seal was clean, and the leaked stopped with use. It was a couple drops a couple times and that's all. I'd like to know about your...

Our first dishwasher . . . . . . was a GE Mobil Maid with the bowtie impeller. I could get everything in it including pots and pans from a meal for four. It cleaned exceedingly well. Our only complaint was that it was very noisy. Everyone had to leave the kitchen and shut the door when it...

That would be . . . . . . FANTASTIC, Jeff. Thanks bunches. I'm going to email you. Jerry Gay

HELP!!! I need a new pump protector trap for my 1959 Philco (Bendix) Duomatic. The filter tray has rusted and separated from the trap lid. I don't see any way to repair it. If anyone has an extra pump protector trap, I'd sure like to know about it and purchase it. Thank you. Jerry Gay

PS I wish . . . . . . I had your email address. I'm glad you wrote this particular message so I could write about the F&P things. I have been unable to find your original message on this site. Another thing I wanted to mention about the dish drawers -- when I had a standard dishwasher --...

I have a F&P . . . . . . double drawer dishwasher. Had them for 10 years. LOVE them. No problems. First of all, I don't use my dishwasher as a garbage disposal. The dishes are scraped before loading. It is almost amazing the amount of dishes I can get in the drawer. AND if there are...

That's great, Christina! Congratulations!!!! You're working with some might fine guys there. I remember Ross well. He bought a Thor from me. And Roger is one of the kindest guys I know. Good luck. They're fun machines. Jerry Gay

Looks like great fun!!! Wish I could have been there. My vegetable source seems to have dried up. Looks like a great supply for the winter. Jerry Gay

I have a . . . . . . 1959 Philco Bendix Duomatic which works just great. It does what it's supposed to do. But it takes probably 1.5 to 2 hours to wash and dry a load. Therefore, if you have more than one load to do, it would take the better part of a day to do laundry. I wonder if the...

I have used . . . . . . one of these flat plate ironers. One would place the clothing or whatever was to be ironed on the covered flat board spreading it out fairly smooth. Then you pull the hot iron over the board. A motor would come on lifting the board upward against the hot iron. The...

The Maytag AMP . . . . . . was the first automatic washer we had after our Thor. I never understood why my parents got rid of the Thor. The AMP was a great machine that lasted 16 years in a family of five. It also lasted through the tinkering done to it by the son (me). I learned that by...

People who have LG . . . . . . seem to be very pleased with them. At the Beltsville convention this past August, I came home with a SQ FL. I love it!!! The capacity is great. I don't hear it unless I'm standing there watching it. Years ago I had a Duet set. When the washer went into the...
