Is envy a sin???

Hey Kim.

I don't think I know you, but I'm delighted with your purchase of the Bendix Duomatic. What a wonderful find!!!! I sure wish I was close enough to come over and watch it run or even help you set it up.

Please keep us informed with words and pictures as to how the progress goes.

I've got 2 1947 Bendix machines that need some work done on them. They're great machines. So simple.

Good luck.

Wow, looks like there are a few Michigan people around here! Glad you got it, I was tempted for a while but then the $$$ went way up, plus I'm looking for a different machine to start my collection (and end it - got limited space...)

Enjoy!

I've got some pic to download, have to replace fill hose, dryer fan belt, and scrub it up, I'll post new sight when I do pics, Wow, what an
undertaking,

Hi Kim, glad you got it home safe and sound. I can only imagine how heavy it was to move. I have the electric version DuoMatic and boy its a monster. Give me a phone call when you get a chance.........Jimmy

Kim,
Congrats on getting it home! Sounds like fun??
I am so interested in your combo because it is GAS. I love GAS appliances, and especially from this era.
I bet it will be a super machine, with super drying!!!!
Thanks for the updates.
Glad you guys got it hone without loosing limbs and toes....
Brent

maybe the most alluring, attractive, highly styled, and defi

history, Kim, and you've got it now and forever. How very nice! Sorry about the mice. Did you hear about the Oprah episode on Hoarders with mice leavings everywhere? Sheesh Aw'mighty.

just about all my

Duomatics had mice homes! I wonder if it was the heat? My 1958 had many mice skeletons curled up in the fiberglass on the heater box. Boy did that stink the first time I ran it!

Can't wait to see the nudie shots!
