These machines with the 950 watt heater were great for charing the edges of Melamine dishes. Actually the spray tube machines were good at that, too. Frigidaire DWs ran so hot you would almost think they were trying pyrolytic cleaning.

we had a similar machine only it was a top loader
It was our first Dishwasher. Not sure when we got it (I think 1969 or1970) but I remember Dad bypassing the faucet connector and plumbing it in. It had a big butcher block top and very similar controls. Used to love the sound it made when you pressed the "cancel" button. Was a nice machine. We gave it to friends who never installed it when we did the kitchen renovation in 1972. It was replaced by a built in Roper that had lots of buttons and lights.
Would love to see a scan of a late 60's Frigidaire top loader if anyone has one.

Doesn't the young man above look kind of like a 70s Justin Bieber?

Wow!
Dave, the Super Surge Wash Action is amazing! Wouldn't that be something to see.
Maybe Pete will cut a plexiglass front for one of his Frigidaires and show us the magic some day. So glad when someone has a gem like this because there's always a chance we'll get to see it.
Leave it to Frigidaire to come up with something so grand. Thanks for the awe.

The Soak Cycle
Dave, I just read that you have 32 machines. Do you have one of these Frigi's that you've scanned, in your collection? Like the Custom Imperial washers, the DW's offer so many cool options like the soak cycle which fascinates me. Does it give the dishes a good soaking as in a long, long wash, or alternating sprays and pauses, or something else entirely?
If you or Pete can comment on this, I'd appreciate it very much.

It could be one of 2 items.
I remember back in the late 50s through the late 60s there were built in Radios offered for Kitchens. Most that I have seen would be the "Central Unit" for a whole house intercom system. I believe NuTone was the leader in this "High Tech" or "Last Word" item to have in a High end Home. Every Bedroom, Living Room, Laundry Room etc. had a panel that would be a "station". The Music from Control Central could be played in every room of the house with the option to have it on or off. It was a convienience feature to call the children to supper or other things as opposed to yelling up the stairs or though out the house.
My parents had friends that were wealthy and had a Intercom system throughout the house. It was probably one of the most unused feature in a home.

When I was younger a few of my friends had intercoms in their homes, parents would use them to spy on us kids. A few even had them outside by the front doors.

Soak Cycle
Michael,
As I remember (please correct me) when KitchenAid introduced the Soak Cycle in the 17 series, it was in combo with a special enzyme detergent.
The cycle would purge for hot prewash, pre-soak wash, soak period-with water action suspended to allow soaking.
It was my understanding (?) that the enzyme detergent was hard on the machine and discontinued ( please correct my info)
At one time I had a KDS-57 in Edged Coppertone...mint condition ( wish I had it back )
I have a Frigidaire portable in storage ( no picture at the moment ) 1987... it says GM... (WCI?). The console is plastic with bronze and wood grain "energy saver" the door is a solid plastic, Plastisol interior with gold racks, a attached wash tower with a spinner on the arm which means the bottom rack has the cut out for the tower like the old Waste King...It's a fun machine....it roars when it washes!
I will post a pic when I can get to the machine...if someone knows the model I am speaking of, I would love to see a brochure on it.

More dishwashers
still not to sure yet
still not to sure yet
Our house we moved into in September 1961 had a NuTone Intercome radio system. My dad kept it going through about 1972 or so. I think every house on our street had one of these probably because the street was the parade of homes that spring of 1961. My mom would get a bee in her bonnet and use the darn thing to wake us up school mornings or call us to dinner or worse yet, breakfast on Saturday mornings. Otherwise I really liked it.
