I did finally go pick up the coin-op Bendix pair that was on CL last month in Minneapolis. Both need work, but look pretty nice. I can only imagine what everyone thought when they saw me driving down the road. :-)

Those are a cool save. It may have been a little odd for nine hours ; but I bet it was a satisfying odd!! | ||

Wow, they look great Travis! Did you find out any history on them? I was curious about when they were last in use. Also, what is the price on the coin slot? I am sure you will have them running in no time! Have a great Thanksgiving! Brent | ||

Great units! Just the other day I saw some dude cruising along in a flatbed with a couple old washers strapped to the back. I thought "Gee, I wonder if he's on the vintage washer forums?" | ||

Travis - these are just too cool. And what a rare treat that they appear to be in pretty good shape from the photos! Looking forward to some more shots once you've got #6 and #7 settled down. Thanks for posting - what a trip! (BTW - what route did you take - happen to travel through Waterloo on 218?) Ben | ||

More pics #7 has some newer parts on it, but #6 is a bit cleaner. Both need dents hammered out of the back panels and lower base.
