Duomatic Days

[Unimatic1140]

A big thank you goes out to Ben (swestoyz) who lent me three wonderful Duomatic items to scan and add to the Ephemera Library!!!

1965 Philco Duomatic Brochures

1966 Philco Duomatic Brochures

1957 Bendix Duomatic Owner's Manual/Use and Care Guide

Yay - these look great!

The '66 brochure covers the '66 line (G), rather than both the '66 and '67 (H) line.

Ford played some model number games at the very end of their laundry appliance production. They oddly kept the '66 models in place for the top load washer and dryer line through till the end in '69 with several Code revisions covering control panel updates, timer programming changes, etc.

The deviation though with the 1966 model number carryover came with the introduction of the last (and BEST!) Philco-Ford Duomatic model in '67, the CE-7H7 and CE-7H2. The H line Duomatic was the only 27" model with the blower-condenser NO VENT drying system with all previous versions of the 27" line being either a condenser with no blower or a forced air vented system with intake baffles in gas or electric.

The '67 also have the single color lighted lenses for the push buttons, vs. the multi-color arrangement seen in '65 and '66.

Thanks Ben for the correction on 1966 vs 1967. I've updated Automatic Ephemera to just say 1966. Love the '67 Model pictures!
