1953 Bendix Duomatic!

I'm the proud owner - still same kinks to be worked out.
Very special thanks to John Eichinger who was generous in sending me a new detergent boot and a service manual for the machine and thanks to Greg Nunn who recommended a parts place to get a timer motor.

My gosh that is a clean machine. Certainly wish the '57 looked like that.

Congrats on having a finished load to photograph!

What a great looking washer. How long does it take to complete wash and dry a load of clothes?

Looks beautiful, Lou!! Glad everything fell into place and the machine is happily washing & drying away again!

IMO The King of Front-Loaders!

What a beautiful machine.

Good Luck with it.

BTW...What are the Y connectors for at the water?

 

[turquoisedude]

Yay! You got it up and running!!

So this is the Duomatic you had been working on! What a gorgeous machine you have there! I have several old do it yourself books showing photos of this model proudly installed in laundry rooms built by the home handy person.
Happy washing and drying!!!

Beautiful!

It's amazing how large it is, it dwarfs the standard-size dryer in the background. There was an old house down the street years ago that had one of these in the kitchen, I'm not sure what became of it, it was either pink or really dirty. So nice to see one in such gleaming order.

Great Work!

That really is a beautiful machine there, congrats on getting it up and running.

I'm glad all the hard wok paid off.

Wonder how many of these are out there in working condition.

Lou, what a beautiful machine!! You must be very proud. Could you give us a bit of history on where and how you got it. Thanks.
