The cabinet reminded me of this machine from the 50's. I found the picture when googling "bendix" one day. I'm fairly certain a family friend had one when I was growing up as well. CLICK HERE TO GO TO aussie-plugs's LINK |

I am falling in love with that machine.............where did you snap it! Is it in your garage?? It's interesting the machine in the Aussie article, I can see elements of the american version. The lower door panel is from the 1948 Gyro, the door is from the 1950 GYro. It makes sense why create new molds when you reuse existing molding on other makes in unconnected markets. Clever. The door is 1950 but the door glass is unlike anything seen on a US machine so its a combination of many machines. That's why thank god we can still get English door boots for our machines. They haven't been made here in 44 years! |
