John, I have a Bendix commercial (coin-op) that's a parts donor for its sister. I'm not sure if the bearings are a match, but if Jon thinks they are you're welcome to them. I agree, your restoration is beautiful. What's your secret? | ||

The Paint Job
the big secret is to sand then sand then sand and when your done with that sand some more. the paint is off the shelf rustoleum appliance epoxy. The motor, rubber, hoses, porcelain, were all in nice shape. and ran very quiet for about a month after she was bolted down to the floor. The only other problem i had with the machine was the speed with the oil mix, I did not need to ask for help at the time as another member was having the same problem at the time so I followed the advice of the members and resolved that issue.
thanks John | ||

Started
I broke into the Bendix today to start this job. Not as bad as some of the washer projects I have seen You Guys do. The clean up of the inside of this washer will be easy. Now just have to find the bearings, there is a bearing factory in town
( Orlando ) that may help. the tub seal os fine soft and flexable. hopefully will not be to bad a job. I will post some pick of the inner tub John
