Hi Gary
Thanks for your comments. I was very pleased with it's condition as photos on eBay can sometimes be very deceiving and you never really know what a machine will be like until you see it in the flesh. Also still can't believe I got it free. Am very happy about that...lol
Am really looking forward to putting it through a full wash cycle when the capicitor arrives (Thats if ive ordered the correct one. The one on there is 8uf so have ordered a 8uf standard one).
I don't have any picture management. I just have windows photo gallery but worked out I could reduce the size of them in paint do did it that way.

How do Mark
Can totally understand your inability to resist this machine. The wonderful Bendix compacts!
Personally my preference is for the earlier full chrome control panel version, but i definately wouldnt have ignored that machine if i had spotted it.
My like of them is totally down to the visuals - mechanically i know little about them, so thankyou for posting your pictures. Have really opened my eyes to them a bit more - really interested to know that they were eudora.
Having never seen one on the 'fun' spin cycle, do they jump about like the Eudora's that can be seen on youtube?
Also do they have that totally insane split second reverse tumble that the youtube eudoras have. whenever i watch one of those machines reverse direction is a second or so, it astounds me.
definately not for squeezing into tight spaces if you ask me, if they had the propensity for jumping round and potentially demolishing their surroundings! thats the Eudora's i am referring to, but be really useful to know if the bendix's put on a similar show.
Its amazing what they still fetch these days! I have eyed up several on ebay, but always been unwilling to pay the high prices that they generally command. Obviously there are many caravanners maybe out there see the appeal of a front loading washing machine, rather than one of those compact plastic twintubs.
keep us updated with how it all goes. looks like this one will keep you mechanically entertained for a while longer yet!
ta ta for now and congrats on the new acquisition.
cheers

p.s i recently saved a piccy of your a3060 to my hard-drive, in that position, in your kitchen. Catches the sun wonderfully - a really stunning example of the breed.

Mark, does the Bendix haver a static outer tub? It looks like it from the pics.
P.S have sent you an E-mail....a machine that you may be interested in.

Hey Paul...(Matchbox)
I bid on the same model last year but was outbid as I set a limit. You are right in that they seem to go high in price and so when I saw the BIN now price of £25 and the machine was round the corner I just had to hit the BIN button. And then to get it for free was such a bonus (As I didn't really have £25 to spend).
You are correct in that it does jump around like the Eudora one on you tube. There is a screw which you can ajust which ajusts the sensitivity to how unbalanced it will be before it spins properly. (Does that make sense?). I made the mistake of messing with it and then took ages trying to get it back in the right position so it would spin properly when it was not to unbalanced. I had it literally jumping off the floor sometimes whilst I was trying to get it right.
It does have the split second reversing. This is also controlled by a microswitch behind the pulley. There is a "round thing" that rotates and is in contact with the microswitch. The microswitch being in or out makes the motor go different directions. Thats why there is no pause between reversing. Basically the whole cycle is the motor constantly reversing with no stopping and then spin and then stop. The whole cycle is controlled by microswitches which are controlled by the rotating pulley turning the timer. simple but also complicated if you see what I mean. So many wires.
It says in the instructions that you must leave a 10mm gap each side. Well you would not have the sides of your units left if you only left that amount. Much more movement than that when its attempting spin and spinning.
I was hoping the capacitor would arrive today but it hasn't so still cant use it at the mo. If I have ordered the correct one and it works ill certainly do vids.
Hi Paulc....
It does have a static outer tub. Totally confused me at first. Have never seen a machine without suspension. Solid machine. Thats why they have the out of balance system and why the wheels are mounted differently to normal.It's so the machine can roll left to right when attempting spin and spinning.
P.s..Have replyed to your email.
