Hey guys. New here. 23 years old. Fitting my house with all authentic vintage appliances. Or trying to anyway. What I’m looking for is a 1940s or 50s bendix automatic washer. And a dryer. And a 50s dishwasher. Could be a GE. Frigidaire. Not to particular on brand on the dishwasher. But i thought you guys might be able to help with that. Thank you. It would be going to a good Home. here are some pics of my refrigerator and stove for I candy and also to show the style I’m into.

How Funny

I just saw you for the first time on TikTok this morning! I have virtually zero knowledge in the area of the appliances you seek, but I wanted to say welcome!

I really like your stove and of course your 56' Cadillac.
 
Welcome!  Great fridge and stove!  I had a Waring Blendor like that for a few decades until just recently when I passed it along to a friend.

 

Have you considered a Westinghouse Laundromat in addition to the Bendix?  From what I've read here, the spin speed on a Bendix is really slow, so drying time increases dramatically.  I loved my Laundromat, and it spun out loads just fine for either machine or line drying.  There's also no need to bolt down the Westinghouse like the Bendix requires.
 
I don’t know how many older Bendix front loaders there are in Arizona, but I’d keep an eye out for a early 60’s Maytag set since the overall styling of them didn’t change all that much from 1956 to 1965 other than the patterns in the glass panels in the early 60’s since the early 60’s Maytags have the dots as opposed to the lines in the 1956 to 1960 Maytags.
 
From what I've seen here and witnessed with friends in AZ is that you're living in an area where great deals on vintage stuff can still be found.  Keep an eye out for things and they'll show up sooner or later.
