Bendix Duomatic Model 283

[brboston56]

I recently purchased a 1955-built home from an estate and it came complete with a working Bendix Duomatic. Probably is original to the house. I have no room for it, SO, it anybody interested in buying it? It's extremely heavy, have photos on request. It's still a nice piece of laundry equipment.

The picture really doesn't do the machine justice. It's a great piece of laundry equipment!

I'm looking into

shipping but if its too much someone else is going to have to save it for sure.
This can't go to the Krusher like the last one did!

Hey Jon,

I'm not positive, but I *think* this is the same one, judging by the picture.

 

[decodriveboy]

One went to the krusher??

Don't those things weigh like 600 pounds? If I was only closer....

 

[jetcone]

Austin I hope you

are right that would be a good thing!

Decodriveboy you need a Combo and its close too! I can show you how to get it running like new again!!

You'll love the way your clothes come out!!

eeehhhheemm jetcone !!!

forget shipping that one, come and get the one in the "burg", did you feel that slap ?

 

[westyslantfront]

Hi Decodriveboy. I do not think you will find another machine that is closer. It is a rare machine. You can contact
Beltmann Shipping and check on the cost or perhaps get a truck but it is a very heavy machine. In any event, when you find a rare machine like that, you will seldom find it nearby.

Original Owner

Hey Guys
I purchased the house & the Duomatic from the estate of a Mrs Breumer. I spoke to her daughter yesterday and she told me her mother bought the machine brand new when they moved into the house in the 1950's. She had the instruction manual until she cleaned out the house. The only reason the Duomatic wasn't hauled to the curb was because it was too heavy to move. Kornmeyers Furniture in Baton Rouge sold the machine originally, and is still in business.

Here is a picture of the back of the machine with the cover off.

Ross is right

I have several Duo's and couldn't get along without one.
Once they come along someone should grab this. Craters and Freighters is in Baton Rouge. The trick with CnF is to tell them you want this on a pallet and that it is not an antique.
No shipper will handle an item classed as antique.

Wayne:

How much do you want for it?? I live close enough that I could come pick it up if the price is right. Does everything work on it??
