Well, it looks like this popped over into this section even though I had posted this in the Shoppers Square section where it probably should have gone in the first place. I'm sorry about that. Not sure why it did this......

Hi, I posted this over in the Imperial section, not realizing it should have been posted here. I've purchased a KDS-19 that runs great but is in much need of TLC. I had high hopes of nicely restoring it. However, I'm feeling very discouraged because I can't find an upper rack assembly anywhere...

Hi Everyone, The old KDS-19 that we have hopes of restoring is getting to be more difficult than we expected. It runs great and I've been able to make the tub look nice, but the racks,(and other plastic interior parts) are extremely yucky, even with much scrubbing. My upper rack is the worst.It...

Thanks Cindy. I'll check your threads out. I love pictures too! My machine hasn't shipped yet....I think the freight company is picking it up early this week. I will put some pictures of it up (if I can figure out how to do so). I used to have a lot of fun doing the wash for my mom with her...

Hi Cindy, Thanks for the Craig's list link. It does look like a decent washer and is within about 4 hours drive. I might think about it, but we are going to go ahead and have the one shipped from out of state anyway, since it is in really mint shape and working.It has been lovingly restored by...

Most of the antique dishwashers or washing machines seem to be either in the northeast or the west. Unfortunately it would be extremely rare to find anything like this in Florida, if ever.

I'm thinking about purchasing one of these old washers that looks to be in very nice shape. Is anyone able to tell me the aproximate weight, height, and width so I can get a shipping estimate? I've always wanted one of these old wringer washers and am excited about the prospect.

Thank you for all the information and suggestions! All of your replies have been very, very helpful. It's hard to know where to start sometimes and this has helped.

I started an earlier thread about my purchase of a KDS-19 that I am going to restore, but I am also looking to collect a couple other dishwashers so that I will always have something that actually cleans. I'd love to hear about any of the various models, and what your experience has been with...

Hi firedome, thanks for the feedback....wasn't sure about an e-bay purchase like this, but the seller has answered any of my questions within a day. I just wish I knew enough about the different models and their features as well as quirks. They do have a great deal of 17's available. Not knowing...

Thank you Kenmore71. I am looking forward to getting this machine cleaned up and try her out but I want to take my time and do a nice job with it. I'm tempted to pick up at least a couple of others such as an 18 or 20 as well. Has anyone here had any experience with the seller on e-bay that...

Hi! I am so thrilled to have found this forum. Three months ago I finally had my husband remove a new upper end KitchenAid dishwasher (my second one in 3 years) and replaced it with a cabinet. I have been handwashing dishes since then and it's starting to get mighty old....I do a lot of cooking...
