found this kitchenaid last week

[rollermatic]

it's a kd57 and although i have 2 just like it when i saw "free" i couldn't pass it up!

 

[rollermatic]

it's an imperial model

with a full cycle, rinse hold, and soak cycle

 

[rollermatic]

interior looks

good! folks giving it away said it ran fine. i would not doubt that.

 

[rollermatic]

racks especially look good

like new!

 

[rollermatic]

classic kitchenaid

hydrosweep and filter.

 

[rollermatic]

sump area

and pump look good. a bit of rust but nothing deep. i've seen worse.

 

[rollermatic]

and it's a portable!

love the wood top! sink coupler looks in good shape too.

all in all not bad for free, can't seem to turn down these great old kitchenaids no matter how many come my way. maybe i'll start using them as lawn decorations!

Pete,

They're going to have to re-name your road "KitchenAid Lane"!

Not bad and the price was right.

Beautiful machine!

Congratulations on your find Pete! White is always timeless too! If you ever get the time, lightly sand the butcher block wood top. Refinishing it will really make the machine stand out. I've done this on my portables and it really makes a noticeable difference.

Looks like very little work to do on the interior. I imagine that rust by the sump area is just surface rust. Let us know and post pics when you run the machine!

they were my dream machine

when i was a kid but we were way too poor to own one! i used to walk by the plumbing store on my way home from school and look at them over and over!

now i have a house full! funny how life turns out!
