Welcome to the club Rob, congratulations on the prized Bendix, looks in decent nic, not like a similar model I found a few years ago!!

Dear Rob, your Bendix is quite a rare beauty and looks in good order. The machine is very similar to the one i restored a few years ago, it will need to be bolted to the floor if you decide to use it. They are very simple to work on and great fun to use . If you need any info or i can help in anyway feel free to contact me. The most difficult job was making the new bearings water tight. I'm no expert at all but know the machine pretty well. good look with the clean up Darren c

Hi Rob the washer is semi automatic and you have to fill the machine and manually change all of the processes. This gives you complete control of the washing cycle. You can leave the machine to run once you have started it off on a part of the cycle ,e.g. washing ,rinsing or spinning. Remember to watch out in the filling part as it's easy to get distracted and overfill and flood the kitchen !!!!
I use my machine only once every 4-6 weeks as the cables tend to seize slightly and this effects the pump and spin controls. . You will love the washer and the results are very good for a machine of that age. Remember when the heater is on that it will boil the contents until you switch it off. !!!!! Darren |
