Perhaps, this is Jimmy's auction?

Great Restoration Nice to see you back in action, Pete! I am with you - the GE Dishwashers are so fun, and fairly easy to work on. And most vintage dishwashers that I have worked on, the tanks have cleaned up very nicely thanks to the excellent porcelain processes. Even the worst of...

Darren, I agree with John, much time and thought went into this thread for Terry. Life certainly is tough for all of us at one time or other. Thankfully we have each other to get through these times. One more for your list: Gary (abcomatic) had his dog, Fred, a retired greyhound, put to...

Wow, Launderess, it never ceases to amaze me the knowledge you have about all things Laundry! Thank you again. Mike

Good points to consider. I would not have know ahead of time that distortion would happen to items if left too long in an extractor. Thanks Launderess.

I have recently gotten in the habit, before I dry a load of clothes, to transfer the entire load over to my ASKO WM 100A Washer to extract out additional water. This washer has an extended 1200 rpm speed. I do not yet have a stand-alone spinner, so this washer is the next best machine that I...

Like everyone else, I am saddened by Terry's passing. I will plan to attend the Funeral since it is under a 3 hour drive from Peoria. Here is the link to the Funeral Arrangements at Cotter Funeral Home. Mike...

Kevin, Your video has really inspired me to get my butt in gear and start working on my Blackstone which came from Ben. It needs some parts (need to talk to you John, Combo52). Ben said it will not ramp up to full spin speed. Honestly, I have not even plugged it in since bringing it to West...

If, for some reason, the Thor Service Manual does not go to Rich, I would be interested in it for my Thor machine. Thanks. Mike

Robert, You are correct, Closed Cell foam will work as a replacement for the lid seal. As a matter of fact, that is what I will likely use on my own Youngstown Dishwasher lid that is in mid-restoration process, and on hold. Thanks for the advice. It would certainly be awesome if you have a...

Hi. I have been contacted by a lady in Pennsylvania, who is renting a home with a Youngstown Electric Sink, but it has no racks, and the lid seal is in very bad condition. Has anyone parted out a Youngstown machine, and holding onto the racks, and willing to sell them? Does anyone have an...

I decided to bid on this Dishwasher Rack, and I won the auction. I thought it would be cool to have, because when I was in high school (1970) I had a slightly older Kenmore "Six Hundred" Model 587.65510, S/N: 24415 (I do not know how to decode the age). It had the exact same rack. I am...

I spent quite a bit of time Monday afternoon and evening, December 19th, cleaning it up. It is amazing that the porcelain tub can take quite a bit of scrubbing with cleaners like Barkeepers Friend, and shine like new afterwards. I have done some testing, but will report on that in another...

In brief: I picked this 1SP40M1 GE Portable Dishwasher up in southern Illinois on Sunday, December 18. Serial Number is 55327077, indicating 1955, 32nd week (2nd week of August). Here is a "before" photo looking inside. The scratch marks from metal pans rubbing against the tub can not be seen.

This KD-10 is the first KitchenAid model dishwasher placed into production by Hobart. It has been up for auction twice before, and I had been watching it, hoping they would not receive any bids, and keep lowering the price until it was in an area I was comfortable buying. For the first auction...

Welcome Lilystardust, Thanks for sharing with us about your Ling Temco dishwasher. This certainly is one of the more unique dishwashers to have been produced. Please keep us apprised of your progress and good luck getting it running again. I know from personal experience that 50 to 60 year...

Michael, Please give me the model, and serial number, I will try to give you the build date. Mike

Well, this confirms it for sure. This is a Kaiser Dishwasher/Sink. On the knob, the O stands for Off, the R stands for Rinse, and the W stands for Wash. This dishwasher runs totally on water pressure. This photo shows what the inside should look like on this dishwasher. Unfortunately, the...

Wow, I believe, with much certainty, that this is indeed a Kaiser Dishwasher. I did not even know these were built. We can see the similarity between mine and the Electric Sink version. This would be an excellent addition to my growing Electric Sink collection, should you decide to remove it...

I made an offer on this GE Portable Dishwasher, and the seller came back with a very high counter offer, 2 1/2 times what my original offer was. Then I explained to him how many vintage dishwashers I had, gave him the average amount I had paid for all of my dishwashers made between 1946 and...
