Bendix Washer Dryer
Nice one Seamus, Oh to find one of those again, much prefer the 7147 square doors though, I`ve got the 45` demo record that came with this machine, AND, narrated by our very own Valerie Singleton of Blue Peter fame...lol These where seriously good machines, very robust and that motor was a massive induction motor, but whisper quiet, you heard the air whoosing around the drum more than the motor on spin!! Thanks for searching it out, Mike

Its tasty tasty very very tasty!!!!!
Same PHILCO almost as my Nana had! alhough Nanas had Door Catch Handle instead of door release button. When I saw this advert I remembered something that i think deserves another thread but heres a link..... We all knew Major Toms a junkie but what machine did his wife wash his shirts in? (reference to shirts in Space Oddysey) Pause it at 1 minute 58 and one will not see this Bendix like I thought it was but an Indesit L7.....?? hehe Rob CLICK HERE TO GO TO aquarius1984's LINK | ||

Notice in this ad and the 81 Bendix one I posted Mrs Housewife is putting SERIOUS ammounts of Persil in that drawer- and prewashing! Wonder if she got a sudslock lol! Seamus P.S I get the impression they removed the pressure switch for the door shot with the duck lol! | ||

Ahh old bendix machines were so great! My grandparents had them since i could remember! I always remember the rinse levels being quite heafty! On washdays my grandma would let me do, i'd select the option on the left dial which was programmes 1-9 then the dial on the right was the mechanical timer, which she helped me turn, then i'd press the on button on and underneath it was a mock button which was just a big on light! Very nice indeed. I do miss seeing that bendix! Briliant machines! Would be nice to see one again someday. Darren | ||
