Thanks steve for that valuable tidbit! So I am going to pick up the KDS-58 portable unit, I kind of mixed and matched my photos above in a very confusing way, sorry about that!... Also I feel like for $50, the ISE 400 is a very good buy as well and may end up picking that unit up too...

im heading out to kansas city today to pick up the harvest gold KDS-58. Looks very clean on the inside. says very little use. There are a couple pictures of the outside above, and then here are the inside photos of the KDS-58 [this post was last edited: 9/7/2020-14:33]

AND i've been a busy boy.. here is the KDS-58 I was scoping out, and am awaiting interior pictures which the seller says is very clean.. What I have spotted from the exterior.. crack on the upper left panel, possibly pitting in the chrome above the buttons maybe its dust from storage, overall...

Haha, I've managed to take heed of alot of john's writings that I've come across on here. I was massively impressed by a post he made showing pictures of the very dirty load up of dishes into his WP, and especially some baking dishes with heavily baked on crust... Sparkling clean.. I was in...

John, I haven't been able to find a WP of that age range anywhere remotely close. Managed to find that ISE fairly close for $50. Just looking for a daily worker until I can find the KA I want. Lol, worried that I'll like a WP PC so much, I won't want the vintage KA :P We have well water that...

ok, so while i search for a vintage KA, because i find them beautiful, would an ISE classic 400 thats barely used be a decent buy?

Lol enjoyable story to read :) thanks.

Well I think someone from here for that eBay kds-15. Soon as the link was posted the watch count shot up and it sold for over what I was willing to pay for it. $200+.

I might try to get both of them, would be a whole day traveling round trip for both. @qsd-dan One of my companies does polyurethane parts but nothing with silicone. It cost us about $1000 to have some simple molds made for small parts, and around that same cost for injection molds. Feel free...

Dang that kds-58 looks amazing. I found one a few hours away but the seller is jerking me around when I ask for pictures. I've seen one half janky picture of the front/top edge and then one picture of the tag... If I nabbed that kds-15 from eBay I feel like maybe I'll be lacking that upper wash...

Yea thats the one I was talking to the seller about. I think ill try to nab it. couple hours away from me, but a days trip can have it home.

so here is the original KDS-15 I was scoping out. what can be determined by these two pictures?

What do you consider expensive? Honestly I'm torn now, I came in here thinking I wanted a KA... But now not so sure. I don't want to waste my time with something I'll resent... Lol

qsd-dan that is interesting about swapping the parts into the kds-18.. Id love to hear your thoughts on your DW. The pros & cons.

Haha too funny. IDK what I want.. i got on the hunt for KA probably because of old posts I've read of people praising them like the second coming. I want vintage, that will do a good job. I can be plenty cognizant of proper loading technique without a problem. Not trying to bargain for gold...

Well that seems like very good advice there, almost to the point of suggesting I should not get a vintage KA lol. I did find a kds-15 that was pulled from an office kitchen. It has all the stickers on the inside face of the door, no rust stains or signs of ever being used. BUT I also have a...

John thanks for the reply. I've read a lot of what you've posted as well on the WP du8000xr (i think thats right).. and i've been scoping those out. I did find a pretty much unused kds-15 that might be a good candidate if I decide to go to KA. I just cant get over some photos i've seen of how...

Hello folks, My first post here after reading quite a bit for the last week or so. I've decided to hunt for a KA dishwasher in the kds-12 to 21 vintage, leading more towards the 15-18 range so far. BUT i'm just not sure. I have read several things that @stevet has written about the 21-22...
