Does any know where I can find this gem? For the past 15 years I have been looking for one...

Bob

YAY!

That Bendix is a very fun machine, even better now that it's spinning quietly again!

Only 4 days away...the excitement is building! :)

There was one in louisville a few threads back,

and a few others if memory serves. Here is the old data but it has been a few months.

Antigue Bendix Washer, circa 1950's made by Philco in excellent condition, would be great display item and conversation piece. Call 502-452-9745

Seems like there was one in Phoenix too.

Here's mine. It was free on Craigslist so they are out there.

Damm those machines are hot!!!! I saw this 1940's model at an open house. After they sold the house, I inquired about it and they JUST thrown it out to the dump (they complained how heavy it was...needing couple of big burly bear men to help...)

Oh well, I am keeping my fingers cross!

Does anyone know what the RPM on the Bendix? Have anyone used a Tackometer on it?

I had some pre-war literature I ended up sending to Greg, and I remember reading that the first models spun at 311 RPM.
