Found this on Craigslist today. the listing said $50.00. When I called they said I could have it free if I picked it up today. It is a 1960 Frigidaire Dishmobile.
have a few pics. I don't know how long it has been sitting but the second pic is what I pulled out of the impeller when cleaning it.

Cool Find

It looks to have been used very little like many portables that survived this long. If you intend to run and use it poor a gallon or more of hot water in it and let sit even overnight. It might be ideal to run it outside or in the garage, the most likely problems are leaks and you may need to replace the fill valve diafram.

Congratulations, I have the built-in version of this dishwasher and it works great. The one I use daily is also similar. 

 

They aren't the most versatile or easiest to load however! I don't care much about performance but I do enjoy listening to these machines, I hope you'll have fun with yours!
