I'm thrilled you got this Paul!
Oh wow, congrats Paul!
Slight hiccup...
I found several transporters via UShip and booked one. They cancelled on me 15 minutes after I'd booked. I'm not too familar with UShip but all my other quotes that I received were set as "declined"; I think I reactivated my request but I'm not sure...
Not panicking yet, but if anyone is in the Indianopolis area and knows of a shipper, please let me know.

Congratulations Paul! Like Bob, I also grew up with this dishwasher. It was installed approximately 1962 and lasted until 1975, when it was replaced with a KDI-17. My mom really liked it and the only reason she replaced it was due to the sump rusting out (the plastisol had worn away exposing the metal). The pump is aluminum and is very powerful; the water will move well! When the drain valve activates there is a definite snap/thump and the water stops recirculating and starts draining.
This machine looks in almost pristine condition inside; I hope it is. If you do put it into service I believe you'll really like it. A quick, but very thorough cycle; the final heat boost is a big plus.
The weak points in this machine are the detergent dispenser and the sump. One cool thing, the trademark on the left side of the console lights up when the machine is on! Be sure to download the operating guide in the Ephemera library.
So happy you saved this. I'm confident the shipping will work out!

Spacepig strikes again!
How wonderful ! A dish machine that lights up and has a big select-O-dial, what's not to like. "Warning, Paul Turquoisedude" --I just watched "Lost in Space"-- both Jeannine and Sarah love turquoise appliances and have been signaling such, so beware next Halloween for a prank. You had better train the pooch to guard the turquoise.
On another note, I have a splendid shipper in downstate NY whom I could contact if you're interested; let me know. So nice to see so rare a machine collected by a master.

Shipping has been confirmed!
Good to know about another shipper, though, Michael - thank you for letting me know.
So, the dishwasher will be leaving on the 26th and will be residing in Ohio temporarily. I am going to have a fun summer on the road. Maybe I'd better keep my beat-up Focus wagon a little while longer... LOL

How grand!
If that's Dishwashercrazymike in Ohio, give him my best; spent the day with him tooling around the museum the day before the DC event.
And if you're traveling via the 90, stop in for a bite and a view of a machine so rare, I'm too excited even to talk about it, lest it vanish.

I am so surprised by now you don't have a Climate Controlled Hydraulic Lift Gate, 4 wheel Drive Box truck with a Mobile Shop and Climate Controlled Interior for Rescuing Appliances in the Northern Hemisphere.
I think You and Phil should partner up on one. ; )

Just wanted to say thanks....
To Spacepig!
It took nearly 9 months but I finally was able to pick up the Nutone Range Hood from this listing this past weekend. The pandemic hit right as I was initially negotiating through Marketplace, and a few other stumbles along the way but got back in contact recently and things worked more smoothly this time.
There is about 50 years of layered grease on it but it's cleaning up beautifully. The stainless steel/chrome just shines like new.... on about 3 inches of it, I think I may need a chisel for this cleaning project
Thank you very much Jeannine for posting this originally.
PS the sellers still had the wall oven, range top, and pink sink when I talked to them last week, in case there's any renewed interest.

And the dishwasher is still waiting for me in its 'foster home' in Ohio... The Canada-US border is expected to stay closed until November 21st however I am pretty sure that it will not reopen in 2020. It'll get here...eventually!!
I was curious about your dishwasher Paul, as I re-read through this thread. I had wondered if travel restrictions threw a wrench in getting it delivered, but it's good to know it's still in safe keeping here in the states in the meantime.
Gotta imagine it makes you look forward to next year even more so, in a whole other way than the general consensus that 21' has gotta be better than 20' was.
Whew!! Yay!!!

Great Machine
Congratulations on a very nostalgic machine! I miss the earlier machines with the bow tie dial. These machines are pretty good washers, but loud as hell. Great thing is they really move the water.
