The 7142A was collected by Servischris this morning and will hopefully be restored. The cabinet is in a poor state, but it broadly works. | ||

Little update 
So the machine needs major cabinet repairs, tub removing and sealing up (got fresh ideas for this), the motor needs re wiring or a new motor, new pump req, new steam vent hose, new door gasket and filter gasket (have somewhere), new heater neon (have somewhere), a timer indicator needle will have to be made but that’s just a little plastic strip so a milk bottle top might do for that. On the plus the drawer front has been repaired and re attached. It looks perfect head on but the sides are another story.. Xmas project when I’ve got some time off I think.

Are there any other surviving 7142s? Chris and Phil seemed to think not. Glad to have helped save something old and rare, anyway! | ||

Bendix 7142
Doesn't appear to be any about so its a rare one and glad you took the time to save it and pass it on, this as important to all us collectors as actually owning it, we cant do everything …
I remember the similar Philco Cyclotron which was sold here, that was actually the first washer I ever plumbed in for a friend who had just got married and had her mums old washer.
