140 bucks? SOMEBODY BUY THIS! https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/app/5525355381.html If I had a place to put it, it'd already be in my home. Amazing! http://https//orangecounty.craigslist.org/app/5525355381.html

Buy these--200 bucks? WOW! If I had room to install them I would! http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/app/5451490056.html Deke http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/app/5451490056.html

OK--went in and lifted the hydro sweep arm off, like you guys told me. Once I studied the design, it's actually pretty genius, isn't it? Amazing they figured out a way to have all that water pressure and not even use a screw to hold the hydro sweep arm off! So, the thing turns and if I spin...

You guys are awesome! I'm going to see what I can find out in the next day or two, will post more info as I discover it. It's good to know I'm not alone in this quest to use vintage appliances (since all my family and friends think I am insane)!

A-ha....okay, that makes sense. It seems to rotate okay when I turn it by hand, but not like it's gliding on ball bearings or anything. I bet it's worn out. Can you take off the hydro sweep arm from the top, I'm assuming? And what IS used for bearings in there??

Hello all-- Some of you may remember me gleefully posting a while back about finding a really clean Kitchenaid Superba dishwasher. I installed it in my kitchen, hooked up electricity and water in/out....and it worked great! Until a few days ago.... Dishes weren't coming all the way clean and...

Bump.....last call!!!

Yes they're still available! Hi gang, I'm sorry I haven't looked on the forum in a few days. Yes, they're still available. Please call or text me at 818-554-1080 if you're interested in looking at them or taking them home. Thanks! Deke

Hi all-- A few of you may remember that I found these two Hotpoint dishwashers last year. I was in the process of restoring one of them using parts off the 2nd one, when I found a Kitchenaid dishwasher that was ready to run. Now I'm just trying to find a good home for these two Hotpoint...

I had the same problem with my Superba--leaking--but I found out it was caused by using modern detergent, and too much of it. The suds were too much and made it leak. You should try a load with about half the amount of your regular detergent (or NO detergent) just to see if it still leaks...

This popped up on the local Los Angeles craigslist...600 bucks doesn't seem bad, not for a turquoise one....anyway, i don't have room for it, somebody buy it, please! http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/app/4938132438.html

Thank you for all your suggestions! I think I fixed it... I want to thank all of you for your suggestions and advice! I WILL put a new gasket on it and will be emailing toploader55 right after I post this to get one from him. BUT...I actually fixed my problem a different way! I spent some...

Thanks Chachp! I'm jealous yours still has the "small items basket" mine is missing! ;-)

Hello there Appliance experts-- I posted a few months ago about restoring a 1950's Hotpoint dishwasher. That project was put on hold when I found a shockingly mint 1961 KitchenAid Superba Varicycle on my local craigslist for 200 bucks. The guy I bought it from said it had been in service...

Oh yeah....duh!!! Was just looking at some KitchenAid parts the other day, had a brain freeze....pardon my looking like an idiot on this forum!
