Hi Ben. Congratulations on obtaining such a beautiful machine. I look forward to videos when you get it up and running.

Jon - you crack me up. A friend of mine has taken to calling me Ben(dix) as well, after she took a tour and saw the Megalith in the basement!

I love that this is one of the last Duomatics before the change over to Philco. I'll get some shots of both the handle and the control panel 'B' tomorrow, but for now - here is a teaser:

nice catch, Ben

It looks like the very same model my old neighbor has. Yours is in better shape. We got stuck after taking out the dryer timer motor which didn't work and it's still sitting in his garage. Good luck with yours!
 
Congratulations!

Wow Ben, what a fantastic find.........Congratulations!
Has anyone ever noticed that even the appliances from the 50's and 60's even seems to follow what the auto manufacturers were doing to the cars.....In the 50's everything was big, bold and had massive amounts of chrome, especially in the later 50's on in to the early 60's.
Then, everything started getting "streamlined" and less glitzy. Still very stylish but not as gaudy.........And now appliances are about as dull in style and quality as the automobiles.......IMO.......
