David thank you again and again and again. This brought back so many good memories. I can still remember what ours smelled like when I opened the door the first time. And that cool US Steel sticker over that beautiful white porcelain with blue speckling. It was a Custom, a KDC-17a and that thing was built like a German car. It was a machine worthy of the brand. I remember I loved how you had to push one of the two cycle buttons to start the machine; then you'd hear the motor whir, you'd hear the pump purge and then the water would start to enter while the works turned so you had a quiet and gradual start-up. Wasn't silent by today's standards, but was relatively quiet.
