Unfortunately no picture of the machine as it's still inside the box where it has spent the last 40 years! CLICK HERE TO GO TO lancethecook's LINK on eBay | ||

A moment of sanity
OK, we know this is something of a rarity, and there will be a scramble when the auction is ending.
I would just ask that in the mean time people do not inflate the price by bidding now, before the end of the auction for that will help no one, just make it more expensive. It does not end in the middle of the night so please, no bidding until then which will perhaps leave it in the scope of collectors who want it just as sincerely as anyone else but do not have as deep pockets as some of the rest of us.

Bendix 7147
well saturday was its unboxing and here it is, theres just one small problem...
once unpacked, we plugged in and started the machine on a spin to test. it ran, for about 1 minute, then it just stopped and all the machines lights went out, no big bangs or dramatic happenings, it just stopped and wouldn't run afterwards, w suspected the door lock, so ill be swapping it with the one off the bendix 7128 to try out, if anyone knows otherwise that it may not be the door lock, please let me know asap!! phil | ||

Bendix 7147
2nd set of pics
all rubber components were as good as new, wiring was as good as we could see, the whole machine is in very good order and must have been stored in perfect conditions to be in such good order. while the meet up was in progress, mark brought the matching 7447A dryer down! Thanks again Mark, Richard, Mike and Chris! phil | ||

Those Vintage Boxes Of Bold & Persil Are Worth The Price
You could make your money selling them on, but am sure they will remain. *LOL*
Shouldn't do anything until testing with a mulimeter. However am sure you'll get things sorted soon. One has learned from experience when it comes to NIB older appliances best to go slow and careful when bringing them back to life. Not all sleeping beauties rise with a kiss and are ready to go.

small update
yesterday i swapped the capacitors and supressors on the 7147 with the one on the 7128 and the 7147's worked in the 7128 so the next thing im going to try is bypassing the door lock directly, apparently i need to connect the live wire with switched live? someone tell me if this is right, dont want to be blowing things up, i was going to swap the interlocks of the 2 machines but it turns out the 7147 has 5 wires going in and the 7128 has 3 so i thought best not to

I can't see it being the door lock if all the lights on the machine went out. Surely the power light would still be on? Simple I know but have you tried to make sure all the connection are free from rust and making proper contact were they are meant to? A bit time consuming but I would check them all first before playing around with the door lock

4 months after acquiring
i found it was the door lock after all! i fitted a replacement on Saturday, plumbed it in for the first time and tried a load, the machine ran perfectly, well almost, the door locked light went out about 10 or so mins in, the machine still completed the cycle though!!
ive also made a video of the machine in action... Phil CLICK HERE TO GO TO servisslimline's LINK | ||

Excellent that you manage to get the 7147 going again, Philip. It truly is a superb machine and in lovely condition. Thank goodness it was stored in favourable conditions, over all those years. Here is to many years of gentle use. Paul
