Bendix Restore

Wow, Another great Bendix restore David, amazing how the different styles are over the year from the early bolt downs to the sleeker cabinet styles.!!

Looking forward to seeing it washing !!

Heers a video of Darrens (slowspin66) we shot early this year !!

Bendix partnered with Disney with the release of the animated movie Snow White and called the models with a heater the "Snow White Bendix" and said that they heated water hotter than tap hot to get whites "Snow White". The testing magazines disproved that, but did say the heater did keep the water from cooling as much, only 5 to 10 degrees, I think, as it would without the heater energized.

The 1953 Combo

I had and now Jeff has, has the heater and it was working, of the 4 Combos I had that one was the only working unit. It got the wash so hot you could not keep your hand on the door glass. Amazing machines all around so glad to see all these beautiful restorations going forward. 

 

Mike, fantastic video of Darren's machines. Those are gorgeous, what is the top loader that has the "Drib-La-Matic" action into the tub? And that top loader with the spinning navy tub DROOL. But those Bendix Taps OMG over the top!! I never knew those were made !! The piece de resistance is the enamel tub catching the drips from the Frigidaire spin dryer !!!  Darren your clothes are gonna get confused, tumbling one way in the Bendix and the other in the Liberator!!
