Well I made a visit to a customers house after work to see a very old Bendix tumble dryer she had and wanted rid off. I went to a very beuatiful old cottage and in one the out buildings was this beauty. Plugged it in and it works............phew! :-) Not in the best condition but worth saving I thought, i also found out that it originally belonged to the very first Mayoress of Totnes. |

This would be the perfect companion to an Hoovermatic 3334 or like machine, has that classy feel to it. Honestly, in the US I wish we got more appliances like this. I also like the later models of the smaller Bendix driers as well, they've always made handsome driers. I would so visit the UK just to experience some of the wondrous appliances there. -Tim |

Aye up Mike Yeah it is solid alright like all these old machines .........well i expect it will end up going up country ;-).....possibley close to where it came from :-) MIKE Any ideas on that invincible vac i picked up, never heard of them, made in Dudley Paul Oh yes i kept the important bits :-) Have struggling with the AEG today, i can only assume the owners had never (or very rarley) cleaned out the door filter or the heat exchanger, i coudnt not get it out for ages because it was so packed with fluff and lint......... The main fault was the power supply had gone down, so i replaced the mains transformer and hey presto it works, put a new bulb in it so the drum glows nicley now. Quite a sophisticated machine, and as it is a few years old it is well built Funny really when you look at both machines i got this week they are at opposite ends of the time scale yet they both do the same job Gary |
