hi everyone!!
just when i thought id seen all the internet forums this one turns up.
when i was kid there was just me and dad. my mum left when i was 5, after that it was just me and dad. we didnt have much in the way of a new anything. But we did have fun keeping the things we did have going.
as a very young child the first thing i remember about learning mechanical aptitude was based around our Bendix washing machine.
i have no idea why dad sought to keep it alive for as long as he did, maybe it was necessity over notoriety but the Bendix was a staple of my early years.
many thing were learnt by me because of that machine but ill never forget it.
im guessing it was about a 1955 model, front loading with the washing powder going in the top.
i would love to see some pictures of the relevant models or whatever you have to offer.
many thanks,
sheepers.

I rescued this one a few years ago, unfortunately a scrap metal bloke decided it was outside my front door because it was for scrap (which is understandble) but he could have asked! :-)

thats pretty close to the one we had.
our one didnt have a bezzle around the door and the whole bottom panel opened up to get at the lint filter.
its very close though!!

Hi Sheepers and welcome to the club, was your model just a washer or washer dryer??
