Not a big fan of old dishwashers although a few vintage models have merit. Not sure if this is one of those Lady Kenmore units that has lighted controls. At $100 it seems overpriced. In Palm Springs.
Is this one a them light-up dishwashers?

Low mileage I'm sure.

Early 70's LK?
before the painted console trim models came out? Light use and soft water.

I had that same model and yes, the toggle switches light up and the wash-rinse sequence also lights up. Only drawback was there was only heated dry. I only paid $100 for mine as Sears had repossessed it and I bought it.

The white lens above the buttons holds two night-light type bulbs that give off lots of light, when the machine is running. No simple on/off switch for it, which would have been nice.
Plus, as was said before, there was a cycle sequence light bar that would have a light for each phase, and would gradually de-energize each bar as the cycle progressed.
Then there is the light for sterilizing rinse and hold option, showing that the timer was not progressing while the water was heating.
I had several of these, back in the day (early 1980s). Picked up off the curb. They usually had a rust through spot in the tub, the racks heavily rusted, or the motor/pump was not working. Those were fun days.

I love that machine
That is actually one of the last few machines I want to round out my collection. It is even the right color.
My aunt had that machine in shaded coffee (just like the pic) when I was growing up. The control panel is way cool for its time. "Wash", "Rinse", "Dry" will magically appear on that black control panel when the little lights behind them are switched on. There are also "Cool", "Normal", and "Sani" to let you know the temperature of the water in the unit.
IF ANYONE SEES ONE OF THESE ON THE EAST COAST PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
