Nothing like . . . . . . a Duomatic. You've got some great looking machines there. Congratulations on your find. I love using mine. It's a 1959 Philco/Bendix Duomatic. Works like a charm. Jerry Gay | ||

57 DuoMatic WOW John you always manage to do such stunning restorations and it is so cool that it turned out to be a low mileage machine, I can't wait to see it in person.
It is amazing when you think about some of the appliances we and other AW members have found in recent years that are in spite of being over 50 years old are often in almost new condition in many ways. Most of these machines would not have lasted even 20 years if they had actually seen normal use.
The 1965 Copper-Tone GE Americana refrigerator that I had shipped from Missouri last month arrived here looking like it had just been completely waxed outside and had absolutely no trace inside that food had EVER been stored inside. | ||

John E,
Another amazing restoration! No signs of oversuding anymore. The view underneath is like new, although I doubt they had worm drive SS hose clamps back then ;) Its sure cool to see the sheen on the parts as they originally were! Let me know if you ever need some plating or bead blasting done. Sometime I need to drop by and see your fine collection, I haven't had the pleasure yet! Phil | ||

I look at that.... Then look at the total garbage built today, I know a family in Lenoir who bought a Duomatic new in 58 and used it daily until the late 90s,,,now you are lucky if a washer will last 5 years! | ||

A long way from this
I couldn't help but compare to this(?year made). I'd prefer the older one.
