I got paint remover and removed all the nasty spray paint and polished her up. What do you think? Worth the $260. + $50. gas?

Graham it came out amazing, I can't believe it! I hope you realize that I'm not positive but I believe you have one of the last Bendix Duomatics made and I'm pretty sure its the only one known to exist up to now.

What a huge transformation just cleaning the machine made! I had no idea the Philco combos were still being made in the 'age of avocado'! What a great machine - well worth what it cost!!
Congratulations!!!
