Checkrate/Likes *I want them!* I guess I could install a Laundromat area in my storefront building.

Checkrate/Likes *Oh dear...* Looks like I am going to get them. :-) He also has 20-30 newer Philco Bendix machines. His family used to run a Laundromat. I'll take plenty of pictures! Robert, Could I come introduce myself when I am there?

Checkrate/Likes Congratulations Travis, I'm so glad you are getting these, that way I'm not even tempted and a big YAY for not being tempted. When are you planning on picking these beauties up?

Checkrate/Likes The first coin-laundry I remember seeing as a child had these old diving-bells in them. There was a concrete trough that ran behind the row of them and they would just open their little drains and gravity-dump the water into the trough, which flowed right out of the building and into the sewer. Most of the time they could be see barfing sudz overboard, and I remember the lame spin speed. I remember thinking that they must be antiques and THAT was in the 1950's! In those days if it didn't say Frigidaire on it I wasn't impressed. Very kool to see some of those old things have survived commercial service! Pretty tuff stuff.

Checkrate/Likes Robert, I pan to come up in the next three weeks. I have to make the time to do so. The seller has a forklift so I am thrilled! If only I had one on this end. All I ever wanted was a home model Bendix, but I thought the coin-ops would be cool. One of them may have been serviced right before storage whenever that was. The seller mentioned other Philco-Ford washers that he had. His family had a laundromat. Jet, someone mentioned you have a collection of Westinghouse xylophones. Help a newbie here find one. :-) I'll take pics of everything I see including cute men in Iowa on the way.

Checkrate/Likes *Hey Travis* Cute Iowa men are hot! I don't know who told you but I have not one Westy Xylophone. I will keep my eys open for you Travis. I did see one for sale on ebay last month, search under "appliance parts" it may not have sold. cheers jon
