FOUND!!! KA "Superlative" KDSC 21A!!

[jetcone]

In nice condition, I yanked it out of a house this am!!

 

It will be a fun restore project, I think this is one of the early WP design KA's!!

 

I think parts will be more prevalent with this than the earlier Hobart built machines.

 

It has lots of lights and buttons, just what the doctor ordered!!

More options than a Texas whorehouse!

OLd KA Design

They should have kept the same design for the adjustable racks. Now everything is plastic!

Replacement pump top

Hi Jon, congrats on your find. You do wake up early!!

It looks like the pump top might have a tear in the fine filter mesh. I've seen replacement pump tops on eBay, but if you can't find one I have two used ones in good shape. Racks are somewhat harder to find, but they are out there.

Good luck & have fun with it!

Nice Machine. I love mine..

Here it is washing..



From the outside. Pretty quiet machine..

Here is what mine looked like when I got it..

I didn't have any screen at all but thanks to SteveT I have a good one now. It washed OK but did not filter as well as it does now obviously. At the time I was looking I didn't see any on eBay but they do pop up from time to time. All in all is a solid performer in my opinion.

I have a nice bottom rack that you can have for just shipping charges...

That 21 with the panel off sounds as loud as my KDP-20 with the door closed!! I can't believe how quiet it is with the door closed. Can't wait!!

 

Thanks moparwash I will keep that bottom rack offer in mind as I haven't had a chance to look the old girl over completely yet.

 

Eddie it will go up to Melrose for now , I wouldnt' expose a rebuilt machine to rentals , they can use my 25 till I'm done renting!!

 

Its spring we need to get together for  a spring meet!!!

Sure Jon

I go back to work in about 5-6 weeks.

Let's plan suntin' (as they say in Taut-in')

It's pure Hobart, through and through!

 

I believe these only have one rinse cycle, with a quick purge right before.

Dan I fell over

when I read your post!! And I didn't even see the HOBART on the label till I looked again here. This will be a fun restore, look out 20 Patrician!!

Don't be so fast to move out the 20 Patrician!

When I had mine, I would stand there with a 3 qt pitcher of hot water to add as soon as the purge between wash and rinse had finished filling. I would quickly add the water and it was enough to at least rinse the lower rack and completely drain before the rinse. If I did not do that, it would leave a fine white dust type film on everything. This was the first experience I had with fill, heat, throw hot water on cold dishes and take so much time doing it that the water in the lines cooled for the wash fill. As I remember, there was no heating delay to assure a 140F wash. You could start out with the Rinse-Hold to warm things, but that did not help the rinsing situation. I also found that I really noticed the absence of the constant rinse.

I hope you enjoy yours more than I did, but keep the Patrician handy to reinstall.
