As a bit of an aside, throwing this open to everyone.... white door machine - is this a Bendix 7122, 7125, 7142 or indeed is it a Philco? Be really interested to know. Cheers Paul |

Hi Mark, good to see another wash-a holic from the shorter hop across the water, are you over in the West?? Wow, classic collection of machines, are they all with you??, or do you work at a repair shop etc??Congrats on the Bendix 7147, a true classic, whisper quiet and one of the biggest induction motors ever found in a domestic machine...I`ve got the matching dryer but awaiting the gods response for the washer?? I was in Cork a few months ago and managed to find a load of old spare parts in a couple of repaire shops...theres stuff out there, just need to hunt it down... Love to see the pics...Mike |

Morning Paul That machine is a Philco Cyclotron, (I love that name, sounds substantial) and if my memory is working correctly its an Aus machine set...lovely machines, nicer with the steel trim doors me thinks!!! When I worked at Trident, one of the girls got married and a friend had given her a washer, i plumbed it in for them , it was the 500spin Philco Cyclotron, first one I had ever seen in the flesh, love the way the programme indicator/selector moves around..

Hi Paul, That's a 7142A alright! I have never seen or heard of a 7122 before, might it have been a cold fill only version of the 7142A for continental Europe? Just guessing though! David |
