1948 Bendix Gyromatic

With the automatic soap injector.

Wonderful job restoring this machine Jon really glad we went to all the work to pull it out of that old basement that poor house.

This was the same house that we pulled the nearly never used KDSS 17 dishwasher out of which Jason restored and will now live in the museum in the Great Wall of dishwashers.

You did a beautiful job, restoring this Bendix, was this the first year of the suspended machines?

Wondering John did you send any pictures of the restored machine to the lady who owned the house?

Happy washing now if only it would dry the clothing, lol

Hi JOhn

Yes I did send video to Martha,   she has responded 3 times since then cleaning out her Fathers papers I get some in the mail every few months, she also wants the machine back LOL !!! 

 

I hope she comes across the bill of sale her Dad saved everything, below there is a post about being wary and she sent that to me .

 

That basement was filthy did you realize it was coal fired for a very long time? Had coal dust all inside the Gyromatic . And that TURN We had to do at the top of the stairs !! OY !

Very cool!

I've seen your recent posts on YouTube of this machine. I'd love to see a full cycle video sometime if you have the time to shoot one. I did notice that in your 4th picture above it actually says the washer is a Bendix Gyramatic not Gyromatic. I don't know if you had noticed this. I don't mean to be the spelling police but this machine is so cool it deserves to be called by it's actual name. Congratulations on resurrecting this piece of history.

Good eye 0n the spelling but Swestoyz and I have found both  spellings occur in early Bendix doctrine. Later its all Gyromatic
