philco-bendix industrial/commercial washer

[tom]

hi,
could any philco-bendix expert please be so kind as to shed some knowledge regarding this unit recently discovered in storage?
will post better pictures in a few.

i cannot seem to find any similar looking models pictured online... any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like a coin operated dryer to me not a washer. But that's just my own opinion.

Yeah, looks like a commercial dryer.  OPL?  Looks like a timer on the right.

 

Don't see a lot of late 50's commercial stuff, that's cool.

Above Philco-Bendix dryer is featured along with other commercial laundry equipment in a series of PB scans.

That is a dryer.

Looks like the same bottom panel design that's on the top-of-the-line home models from 1959.
