How is it going to fit?

Eddie, don't you have a small car or are you driving down a truck? BTW, still waiting for your itinerary. And I wonder what my wife would say if I went and got the Mobile Maid! LOL
 
Hi Steve

I have a Toyota Pick up. I'm going to decide on some dates this week. I have a KDS 20 that is mint. Maybe I'll bring my 2 KDS 18's and we could make a Turbo Charged one out of the 2 . LOL Here's a pic of the 20.

I'm going to post in the Super soon what I'd like to move. I'm getting tight on space.

Truck

When I decide on the trip, if I have room, I might be able to bring a machine or two for anyone wanting something from North to South. I can't guarantee if I'll have room coming back.
My goal for the next year is to collect a Festival of Lights like Kevin's so you can see Cape Cod from the Space Station. I already have my Application into the Coast Guard to see if I would be a Hazard to Navigation

Hmmmmm...

I believe all the machines in the 50's were impeller machines.(GE that is). Either with the Bakelite Black Impeller or the Stainless Bow Tie. I'm not sure what year but I want to say this is one of the first machines GE made with a pump and Spray arm.I think they started the Spray Arm series in the mid 60's We bought new in 1966 a Mobile Maid with one of the first "Duo Lift Rack" series. Daily Loads, Pots and Pans, China Crystal and Rinse and Hold were the cycles. This one also had Silver Shower.
Your machine has the 1958-60's upper rack but with the Spray arm design they switched to a Full Lower Rack. Attached is the pic of my 1958 mobile Maid.

Interesting!

I remember seeing a dishwasher like this about 10 years ago at the local Sally Ann - I didn't think GE had a model with the U-shaped upper rack and a spray arm/wash tower washing system.
Did the cutlery basket go on the lower rack with a machine like this??
 
Thanks for the info Eddie! I actually passed on buying that machine I found 10 years ago (bought an avocado Kenmore instead).
Methinks that a KA might be found in, oh, I don't know, Cape Cod sometime in November... I just hope I am still unemployed then! LOL
 
My dream machine

I grew up with a bow tie impeller GE mobile maid. I missed a chance a few years ago on a great one Robert had for sale. KICK MY ASS. Some day. Mike
