Nate, your dishwasher is ready!
Oh, ish, Gregory!
A single wash-arm machine? Like, having to put all plates in the bottom rack? Now, seriously, how do you expect someone like me to live like that? Remember, my motto is that you need modern gadgets to keep both hands free, so that you can keep a grip on your cigarette and martini. ;-)
Seriously, it would be a good part donor. The top's nice, but you really need at least the two-level wash to get satisfactory results from these machines.
That was a trip down memory lane, though--my neighbors across the field had this as a built-in, and when it was eventually replaced, they let me drag it home to play with, much to my parents' chagrin. It was the first dishwasher that was truly mine! The D&Ms spray up a storm, so it's not like the wash arm has trouble hitting the ceiling of the tank with a wall of water from those big holes in the wash arm.
Yes, I've lived through repainting; it's not bad if you prep correctly and are patient enough to sand/tack-rag thoroughly and build coats. The most "factory original" finish I ever had the pleasure of re-creating (on the Evil Kenmore, in fact) was with white appliance epoxy; it felt much like a nice, new cabinet, and was viciously tough. However, the epoxy is not very forgiving if you make a mistake, and you definitely want to put up an enclosure with plastic sheets, because whatever the overspray settles on (even from falling out of the air), it sticks to--passionately.
