note the switch to Philadelphia

This may have been assembled there but I doubt it, I think my Deluxe 58 says S. Bend still , I'll check it out as I head down to do laundry.

Jon, thank you for all the considerate panel shots. An interesting aesthetic color combination all over. Never knew this model existed. Does this have the Magic Heater for hot washes? Or was that a feature not for the custom model.

Interesting - I like the "P" symbol on the door handle - very subtle touch!!

 

[swestoyz]

Um, WOW! What a cool looking Bendix. Did anyone know this guy existed? Pretty easy to tell that this will be one stunning machine - congrats Jon!

Nice mo-chine! Philly must have been about the time of Philco/Bendix.

Wow, what a machine, back when even the lower-end models were still classy. I LOVE those vertical T-handle knobs. Congratulations Jon!

 

[golittlesport]

Very nice, Jon. I love it. Congrats!

 

[jetcone]

Thanks all!

it was a fun find thanks to Mark! he was on his game here!

No Bob this model did not have the magic heater. It really is just a gyramatic with a dryer attached, which for me makes it really cool.

will post the "pimped up" version after the after the detailing by Greg.
