Philco Bendix Duomatic at Robert's

[philcobendixduo]

From the pictures I've seen of Robert's collection, I think I see the exact Philco Bendix Duomatic washer/dryer that my Mother had when I was a wee lad. I used to spend hours watching this machine - fascinated with it's workings, noises, etc.

It is in picture #6 of his collection to the left of the turquoise machine.

If anyone has any more pictures of that washer I would be SO happy to see them. A video of it washing, spinning (love that two speed spin!), etc. would make me even happier!

This was the machine that started my obsession with washing machines.

Thanks, A.W. members!

Hi and welcome - I took a couple of shots of this washer when we were up to visit a few months ago.

We washed a load on Saturday night in this washer, one of my favorite front-loaders. I spent hours staring at an ad for this machine that I swiped out of one of my aunt's old magazines. I desperately wanted a front-loader at home, you were very lucky to have a fun washer like this growing up!
I don't have any full-frontal shots on this computer, but there are more around for sure.

Thanks for those pictures!

YES! - That IS the machine of my youth. Thanks so much for those two pictures. I hope to see more soon!
