Pretty clean inside and seems to be all here (I can only assume).

The top rack. Oooh... adjustable and everything!
While in generally good condition, they are not absolutely perfect.

AND.......
The controls.
I'm guessing the faceplate is aluminum because it looks like that kind of "corrosion" around the buttons.

BUT WAIT..... THERE'S MORE!
The added BONUS was all these goodies still inside the dishwasher!
Turns out in came from an Asian household and as such, they used it for storage, not to clean anything!

AHA!
If my eyes don't deceive me, that is a poacher insert for Revereware. I've never seen a 6 egg size.
Love those adjustable racks.

Congrats!
Thank goodness we all conspired to FORCE you to pick up this treasure. Very neat.

Great!
Glad to hear this actually went through. Get ready for some dishwashing (Lol). Perhaps a video of this rare one is the order of the day (the only other videos I've seen is a commercial for this, and someone's dying timer-knob in the door model).
Looks like its in otherwise great shape.

X2. It's a rare TOL dishwasher and worthy of gracing the collection. Heck, the contents more than paid for itself already.

I knew it... Peer pressure CAN be a good thing!!
Kevin, I am so glad that you could save this unique machine - the wash system alone makes it worthy of preserving for the ages but it's also rare to see a GE without a timer dial.
Great save!!

Whata find!
The 6 cup poacher insert fit the 10" skillet; the 4 egg insert fit the 8" skillet. I wonder if all of those metal handle strainers were used for lifing tempura out of the hot fat. No use explains why the racks are still intact. This is the machine that used around 20 gallons of water per cycle. If they had made it in a convertible portable I would have bought one. I used to visit the floor model at the Woodward & Lothrop at Wheaton Plaza when I lived in Silver Spring. I loved the idea of the wash arm under the upper rack. I almost bought a WP before KA introduced the 18 series.

This Potscrubber II
is the exact same machine my parents put in their new house when they were moved to Bethlehem PA by The Steel. They had always had KAs before but opted for this one for some reason... it did a very good job as I recall, and they never had any problems with it for the 10 yrs that they lived there. Nice find - love that panel styling, very 70s!!

The metal lower spray arm, awesome!
I never knew any of the PS Dishwashers had multiple spray arms.

Even on the tower-wash models there were (technically speaking), two spray arms. Your big one to actually wash and distribute muck in the dishwasher plus the top one ("constant rinse") to try and stop the muck building up in the tops of your glasses, utensils and other assorted dishes

last used on the "China/Crystal" cycle
No, I was pressing some of the buttons to see how they felt.
Washer111, you requested a video of this dishwasher and I want to ask, why for the sound? Forgive me for being direct, but videos of dishwashers (and dryers for that matter) seem rather pointless to me..... UNLESS you go to the trouble of making a custom fit plexiglass window so you can watch what's happening inside. I won't be doing that, so sorry to say no video if this DW in the future.

YEAH!!
Congratulations! A major save! Your tub and racks are in excellent condition for a machine of this age.
One thing to note about this model is the cycle selector switch. It is highly sensitive (although it does not look it). You need to FIRMLY depress the button before you start the machine and need to be wary of "bumping" any of the buttons while it's running. This happened to me when I first used mine; it ran for hours! At first i assumed it was a thermostat , but that checked out. When I referenced my GE service manual I found it specifically addresses this condition. When I followed the instructions the machine ran perfect! Also the Cancel/Drain selection can take up to 4 minutes to complete (and the drying fan will come on as it resets through the "Dry" phase.)
Sorry to go on so much. Very excited for you! Have fun!

If you go back up to reply #4 with my photo of the control panel, you can see a rigid brown "ledge" below the cycle buttons. When I saw that last night I thought "Hmm, that's odd", but now it makes perfect sense. That ledge below the buttons is there to help prevent the buttons getting pressed if you bump it.
I wonder if this"stacks the cycles", like programming a juke box. If you press more then one button, will it "play" each cycle you press, one after the other?

No, no, I am all good with that. It would mainly be for the sound of the machine (or wash action, if you did the Plexiglass thing or stuck a camera inside the DW).
Thanks for being direct - its always nice when people are honest

Nice save Kevin!
I have never seen one of these in action but heard that thaey do pretty well. I'm anxious to find out how it washes for you.

Here is mine.
I thought I made a video of it with the door open but I can't find it.

Here it is washing.
That funny whining noise was the lower wash arm that was kind of off balance at the time but other than that a fairly quiet machine. I had replaced the pump assembly with a new one and the newer one was much quieter.

This is what came out.
Mine came from H4H for $25 and this is what I took out of the machine. Obviously it had some issues.

Thanks to the help of folks on this site I found and installed this. It was much quieter. Todd VariCycle voice is enjoying the machine now.
