The Hobart UMP-4
This has the SS Cabinet.
The UM series later were available in the "Chloritizer" Series which meant they worked without 180 degree water and used Bleach as a Sanitizer.

Great Brochures
Thanks for this post. My church has an LM-2. I have only seen it operational twice. As of now, it is just collecting dust. The control arm will not move into the rinse position, and the wash arm has rusted into a fixed position. It kills me everytime I walk into the kitchen and see it.

Thank's for the memories
My 1st job in 1978 age 15 was a dishwasher in a nursing home. They had the Hobart CM-2 & I remember they sent a rep out from Hobart to teach us how to use the machine, & he called himself a professional dishwasher.

I thought you'd like this Thread Nick.
As I was scanning, I knew you would be crazy over this Older Machines.
There are soooooo many details about how these machines evolved.
But I will always say, " This was back in the day when America stood for quality."
Look at the Pride and Skill of Every Part that was Turned or Manufactured. The specification Sheets stated the Quality of each machine and Hobart was Proud.
I had a recent LX Glass waher break down, and it was probably a Timer Board.
Years ago, it would be a buss fuse or a poorly maintained machine.
SIGH!!!!!!!!

What's curious is that I have never been "IN" a commercial kitchen yet I recognize all but the biggest Hobarts on sight.
I know it Eddie
All the newer machines have the electronics and cheap China-made parts that break down on a regular basis. At least you have a Hobart LXG and not a Canadian Disaster built to break Moyer Diebel POS carousel glasswasher behind the bar. That damn thing does 1/10'th the work the Hobart AM-14 does and shits a brick 10x as often.
As far as old Hobart DW's I have experienced a KDS-15, AM-9-T2, WM-5H, AM-11, AM-12, CM-2, C-44, KDI-20 and KDP-20. For the modern Hobarts I've worked with the C-44A, Am-14, FT-820 KDS-21 and LX-30 All were great. I will take exception on the made for Ecolab/Ecotemp ET-20 and ET-40, While better than an Auto-Chlor or Jackson they did not perform to the usual Hobart washing standards. I have also used older Blakeslee, Champion, Vulcan, and ADS DW's.

Blakeslee...
You know I thought of them the other day as I never see or hear of them anymore. They did a OK job though. I Googled them the other day and they still are in business.
The old Round Jacksons were a surprising performer to me. You could beat the crap out of them and they would still keep working.
I had the pleasure of working with a ToastMaster Door type machine. Stationary Spray Arms above and below yielded poor results constantly but still OK. In the 3 years that machine was in my kitchen, it never broke down.
