So a very nice man in southern WI contacted me who had these. He told me he bought these both 30 at an auction in South Bend, IN. It just so happens that Horton's headquarters and manufacturing plant were located in South Bend, same city as where the Bendix was made. Which means there is a possibility that these originally might have come directly from the Horton plant from when they closed down for good! Really it's anyone's guess.
Where were these marketed?
I assume Al these were marketed across the entire USA.
So, are you going to pour a slab for bolting down purposes?
I'll do the same thing as I did with my bolt-down Bendix Tom, I'll use 3/8 bolts with lag shield anchors in the basement floor.
Is one basket aluminum and one stainless? The name Horton rings a bell in my head but I don't know why.
Hi Walter, I'm thinking they are both aluminum, but the never used one seems to have a green-ish tint to it. Not sure if that comes off in the first washing. I suspect the name Horton may ring a bell with many hear because that was the washer they doctored up to be used on the I Love Lucy episode "Never Do Business with Friends"
So supposedly this machine has a Bendix like transmission yet somehow does a reverse tumble like the Launderall did. I'm not sure how exactly it reverses, the Launderall used cams and gearing in the transmission to reverse tumble ever 15 seconds, the manual says this machine reverses ever 30 seconds. I'm thinking it may have an early reversing motor in this machine, we will see.
