oh I'm jealous

That dishwasher is amazingly beautiful and mint!!! Congratulations. You'll have to let us all know what you think about its performance.

This is TOOOO Weird and Twilight Zone.

First of all, thanks again to everyone for their sweet comments about my "new child". I have the first 4 seasons of Bewitched on DVD so I am going to hunt up the episodes showing the dishwasher and see if mine is the same or just how close a match it is. Thanks Tomturbomatic for your helpful hints! As this is all new to me, it's great to have everyone's input. Tonight I was preparing a new spot in the back of the garage to park the dishwasher, and in doing so, I found a box of old American Home magazines that I'd stored out there at least 5 years ago, and hadn't looked at since. After getting the unit all tucked in, I opened the box and flipped a few pages into the first one. Talk about nearly falling over in shock. I find not only an ad for the same unit as mine but it was also in the same color too!!! How weird is THAT??? My scan shows it as being a bit more blue than the actual ad does. The page is too large to fit into my scanner all at once I had to split up the scan.
Guess this should be taken as a sign as to how "right" this unit and I are for each other. The magazine was November 1964.

Wow

That's beautiful. I love the ad! I'll agree with everything excepts "runs quietly." Maybe the lady in the picture had a really loud voice?

beautiful machine man!

i have two very similiar to yours, mine are in as good a shape too! those frigidaires were well made. parts are still readily avaiable, bought pump parts from mark michaels earlier this year, he has more left.

have fun with it, noisy as hell but that 3450 rpm motor and pump can really throw some water! they seem to clean well. i only run mine as a novelty now and then.
