For the first time I was stymied last nite! I was well on my way to finishing a Bendix Gyramatic Restoration and when it was done I looked up and there was NO place to put it! NONE! Now I am playing chinese tile puzzle with my restored machines. Slide the Neptune out , move the ABC slip the Gyramatic in , put the Neptune were the ABC was and gain 2 necessary inches!! I was in denial (no not that river in Egypt!)that in my heart I have endless room but reality soon comes a knockin'! OY! or should I say Uh Oh! I guess you know you are in trouble when you go to bed at night and all you think about are new ways to dig out and under the house!! Jet |

It's simple! Just let Bethann adopt a Pink Frigidaire washer and dryer! See then you'll have space for two more! |

Hi All Have put the Bendix model G Auto front loader in a new album called Bendix, missed out last month on the first model we had here, the one Uni has, but it did need a lot of work doing to it.....this one is pristine, just needs the hoses changed...really need to check the gear changer etc but works and runs smooth enough.... Does the US model look the same as this or does it have a different control panel??? CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK |

My Grandmother had a very simular washer fron the 50's. Their was 2 dials but one on each side and they were gray dials. The right one was the main timer with a soak and regular wash cycles the left one was a water level dial. In the middle was 2 buttons for Hot and Warm temps. I always enjoyed watching the cycles. I cannot access the other pictures. Real cool machine. Peter |

Nice Bendix!!!! My 1950 Gyramatic is a 30 inch machine but is very different looking. I will take pix this weekend for you. I had a 1953 Bendix that has the same cabinet as your machine, John is selling it on ebay right now so you can see it there. Your door is just like the reverse image of my 1958 Duomatic door! That is in restoration right now thanks to the ever bountiful help of John Eichinger in St Paul! YAY To JOHN!!!! What year is your machine from?? Can't wait to play next summer!! "yours in The Nile too" jon |
