Bendix

Hi Richard, really glad you managed to save the Bendix, looks in grand shape and I`m sure you can get it working!!! You have a wealth of information and people on here to help and also Darren C in Lincoln who has the semi automatic version and took his through a bearing change and overhaul a few years ago...Jon Jetcone also gave my model G an oil change and tune up when he visited, also managed to get a few original Spares for this model when Ian closed his Stamford shop last year, so let me know what you may need and i`ll check the boxes..

Hi Mike !

Thanks

My machine seems complete, I need to replace all the inlet and drain hoses and the ones from the water level setting to the tub. So far I think it needs a new mains cable , and the seal around the filter has hardened .

The drum bearings are a bit rumble ing but it has no free play.

Simon thanks for the offer yes I think the machine was plugged in ready to go but I didn't risk it the internal wiring is ok but the mains cable is stiff so I will replace it.

If you can do a little training on the multi meter I know it comes without any guarantee I should know a bit more about the safety factor other than plugging things in then standing around the corner away from it like a wimp wincing at every creak groan and bang things this age make!

Richard.
