Introducing the Picture Window Lady Kenmore Roto-Rack!!!!!!!

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I remember both the front-only and 360 degree-view demo dishwashers but can't remember if only one or both were roto-racks.  Or for that matter, if one I'm remembering wasn't Montgomery Ward.  I do remember being drawn to those demo units like a magnet and standing there mesmerised until Mom or Dad tore me away!
 
I am curious about the extra vent you added at the top. Is it vented at the front top of the machine?
Joe I added the vent at the top when I thought that I would have to seal off the vent at the bottom of the door. Originally the machine had two venting locations, one at the bottom of door and the other on the side through the fill flume.   After the fact when I came up with a way to divert the door vent splash water, I didn't bother to go back and remove and reseal the roof vent I created when I saw how well it helps with drying.

 

For those asking about the'53 Hotpoint Dishwasher that came out of the kitchen to make room for the LK, that is going down to the basement for now. My rule for me now is if a washer, dryer, dishwasher or vintage TV comes in, one has to go. Well three machines have come in recently, this LK Dishwasher, Brand New 1962 GE and Norge Timeline. Since I'm using the Norge for parts only, two machines need to go. I'm sending the Youngstown Dishwasher to Jon/Jetcone as he really wants the machine. I'm sending the Apex Dish-a-Matic to Mike/Dishwashercrazy, I know he will really appreciate adding that rare window-lid machine to his collection.

 

OK OK DONT SMACK ME TOO HARD! 

Don't worry toggles, I won't, you'd like it too much ;-)
 
Should Be a Common Option for Us Water Babies

I don't think I'd get this far in execution, but I would have tried to do this

because my memories of dishwashers in stores in the 60's were see through windows

and water splashing around. It was always disappointing to see that the consumer

never got one of those windowed dishwashers. Very late to comment, but "bravo!"
 
Wowie!

Like everyone else on here, it seems, this takes me back! I have so many fond memories of just standing in Sears at the Lima Mall watching the demo dishwasher in action. Pretty sure my folks would just leave me there and go shopping, knowing I wouldn't budge from that spot. That's pretty much my early shopping mall memories...the visible DW at Sears, eating Hot Sam pretzels on the bench around the fountain, hoping Woolworth's had Matchbox cars, and thinking it was normal to have to go THROUGH Penney's to get from one end of the mall to the other. I was probably 9 or so before I realized there was a Lazarus in the mall, and in my teens before I knew there was an Elder-Beerman, too. We never went down that branch of the mall any farther than the MCL Cafeteria.

So, um, thanks, everyone...y'all are more fun (and cheaper) than actual therapy ;)
