I think this is a KD-12.

I have a KitchenAid Dishwasher that I would like you to see. Please see the photo and let me know if you are interested. My husband and I just purchased a home. It was built in 1955. I am sure the dishwasher is the original

Wow! I have seen photos of this model featured in kitchen planning and design books from the early 1950's. Are they planning on putting this one up for grabs?? I would bet it's still working, too.

Hi Paul, yes they would like to find a good home for it. So go for it, when I lived in NYC years ago, I used to do the NYC-Monteal drive all the time, it's not too bad

As fate would have it, I may have to be there next week on business.. That 'lil Focus station wagon of mine has happily transported a GE SU60S1 from Toronto and a GE Mobile Maid from upstate NY, so I have no excuse,right??
Forgive my curiosity, but when did you live in NYC? I was there for several months in 1999 working with my US customers on the Y2K thang!

I just had an update on the dishwasher, it's located in Westbury, NY which I think is close to the Queens border on Long Island?

Paul I lived in mostly in Mahattan (Grenwich Vil, Chelsea, Clinton, Midtown East, Upper East side and Upper West Side), but I also lived in Staten Island and Kew Gardens, Queens for a bit as well. I was there for about 11.5 years total.

Oh sorry you asked when, 1982-1985 and 1988-1995.

OMG Westbury is right by me. It is 8 to 10 miles from the NYC (Queens) border in Nassau County Long Island.

I wish I had a way to retrieve it and save it for you....no truck. :-(

Try this address of an office building nearby to get a feel for location via MapQuest

99 Jericho Turnpike
Jericho, NY 11753

Paul, I hope you can get it!

Cool! I just looked up where the customer is and it is in Bohemia, not far at all from Westbury. Hope they decide they need me on-site!! Thanks, Robert!!

 

[toggleswitch]

Bohemia is WAY past (East of) Westbury. But you have to PASS Westbury to GET to Bohemia...............

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

Why are they always on the other side of the world?

 

[mistereric]

if anyone needs a hand, I might be able to help out. i don't really really have a place to store it, but i could possibly grab it for you.

i'm on staten island.

Paul~

Bohemia is in Central Suffolk county on Long Island~ that is a good 30-45 minutes from Westbury heading east on the Long Island Expressway (495).
If you need any help and can wait until next week, I am coming to Long Island for my 20 year high school reunion.I would be happy to come to Bohemia to help you retrieve the dishwasher. Email me if you wish and good luck!

ok~ your customer is in Bohemia, got it now..

regardless, I would still come to Westbury if need be..It will give me a great excuse to go shopping at one of my favorite stores for clothing, Century 21.

Hey guys, sorry I lost touch on this thread, but the NY customer went live this weekend without asking me to head down there to help, so no chance of scoring this KA... Then again, my recent dishwasher buying spree has my partner's nerves on edge. When do you guys think I should tell him about the 1956 GE all-in-one kitchen that I found in Texas???

Damn Boyfriends!

Why do they get upset every time another washer, dryer or dishwasher ends up their garage? Don't they know we ran out of room a long time ago?

Amen, Bobby!

I guess I shouldn't complain - he has agreed to build a garage in our new place. I have visions of a 'mezzanine' above the garage area with 110 and 220 power AND hot and cold running water... Is that dreaming in technicolor?? ;-)
