Dr. Manny called this morning and brought back both the Thor and the Bendix. They are working great. He is still working on my Blackstone 250.

And here is picture of the 1947 Bendix which now has new tub bearings made by Dr. Manny himself. On the Thor, he made a new clutch.

WOOHOO!

Manny definitely has a talent for working on these old beauties! I can't wait to meet him next month!

As for the machines, they look great as always. I'm really looking forward to using the Thor.

Take care,
Austin

Congratulations. I'm not sure I'll know what to do with the Bendix not roaring to life.

This is great, Ross. Congratulations.

Can't wait to see both of them in action next month. Your whole collection looks wonderful.

I'm Impressed........

You certainly went to great pains to restore these beauties.
I admire you for your dedication.

Hi Greg. Manny needs a manual for the Blackstone so we called Fred (Blackstone) but if mine isn't ready, Roger's is in fine working order.

Re: Westyslantfront :

I just love your round laundromat turquoise machine it looks like it could really wash up a storm and get clothes really clean, too. Would love to see a video of it in operation like on You Tube,that would be good. Thanks for listening. Danf.

Hi Dan. The turquoise machine is a coin op...25 cents a load.
I do not have video camera, otherwise,I would make a video.
Perhaps you might come to annual Tucson Wash In next month or maybe next year and you can see all the machines in action.

Congratulations, wonderful machines. I bet you're glad they are home again. Did you get out of bed in the middle of the night to have a peek at them? ;-)

Congrats Ross!

Manny is a true miracle worker! I'm so happy to see the Thor and Bendix Standard back in their rightful place!! They are beauties!

I hope Manny is able to get your Blackstone back to your lovely laundry studio before the wash-in.
