Kitchenaid Dishwasher Late 80s to Early 90s

I love the sounds this dishwasher made back when I was growing up, including how the motor of this dishwasher goes into reverse when it drains the water, just like a vaccuum. One unique feature that this dishwasher has that today's dishwashers don't have is that there's a fan that runs during the drying cycle. I've always enjoyed listening to this dishwasher. The only problem is I don't know the exact year this model was made. My guess is that it was made in 1989 or 1990. I'd love to have this dishwasher in my own home someday. I found an online manual of this dishwasher showing pictures of the knob and the buttons. Some models have the cycles in different places, but the one I'm most familiar with is this one.

We had a KUDI21, which is the Imperial model.  It's basically the same machine as the KUDI22.  I think the last year of production for the 21 series was 1989.  The 22 series dates back to the early 1990s.
