A while back I posted about the 1969 KDS-16 that I am refurbishing. It's almost ready to come upstairs and I am looking for/trying to decide what to use for a countertop on the top of it. I have had any number of thoughts and my searches on local Craigs list for free/very cheap old portables for scrap have turned up nothing. Having a new piece of custom-made formica made at HD would run me in the $75-100 range and butcher block would be more....
The beauty of these older KA dishwashers is that there are supported by steel/iron frame that I don;t think would require any additional support to set a countertop on top of the frame and use it for light duty work.
So...does anyone have a portable parts machine with its countertop or a spare countertop that they would be willing to give/sell me at a reasonable price? Not really looking to spend more than about $50 with shipping.
If all else fails I may just end up using a piece scrap plywood with some scrap linoleum on it!
Thanks for the consideration. Mark.
