Wow Phil, these are amazing finds indeed!! In the parts list for my Inglis Sterling, they show two versions of the timer box - one for the Sterling and one for the Superb, so other than the Suds-Saver, the machines look to be the same! If you do wind up needing a new pump, though, let me know... I have a *few* spares now... LOL
Now, that dishwasher really threw me for a loop - I also was scratching my head at the GE stainless bowtie impeller with D&M upper racks. John, thanks for the background information on that one - the only vintage Inglis dishwasher I got close to was a 1967 front-load convertible model and it was 'pure Whirlpool' inside.
Dang, I have to get up to Joliette again soon to see these up close!!!

what's not to like?
Mechanically, I can only appreciate what the experts know and how their help , along with some
confident cheering here, will bring the Inglis back like new...if it's not already done at this writing.
I can't follow the thread technicals so much, but I appreciate what you found and the progress made.
Nice catch, Phil.

The control panels for these machines were deteriorated. I had them redone with a nice result. It did cost almost 10 times more than the initial price of the whole machines but I couldn't stand seeing these in such a deteriorated state!
Before and after pictures!

Phil those look fantastic! There is no way they could have turned out better. You must be absolutely thrilled!
So did they create new decals or did you somehow get the graphics reprinted on the panel directly? Were both the timer graphics and the lettering for the knobs replaced or was it just the knobs? Where did you get them done?
Congrats again on this amazing find! They literally look brand new.

It's a sticker clear sticker with lettering recreated and printed on that's was applied on the reverse side of the original panels. I have an extra set of stickers in case I want to install them on new aluminum panels but these are OK for me.
You can see the round marks of the retaining nuts on the panels but most of these are hidden by the chrome bezels.

I'd like to know, too
- who did these for you and what else do they restore? They did a superb job. Congrats, 10 times the cost but 100 times the satisfaction when you're submersed in a water hobby.

I had scanned the original panels and emailed them to a guy who recreated them on Illustrator and printed them. I had previously tried to do something on Photoshop but the result wasn't good... (but it was much cheaper to do!)
Awesome panel restoration!!
Those look excellent! I would also like to know where/how you did this. Can you explain how the graphics for the stickers were created? Thanks!

I can't explain how he did that. But he told me he used Illustrator to do it. Then printed stickers that he installed on the reverse side of my aluminum panels. I have attempted to recreate the lettering and other missing parts on Photoshop but the result wasn't very good... I think this process is quite time-consuming and each panel did cost more than $100 to recreate... ($125 Canadian...).
I have another project for this guy (on which he already has some work done) but I'm short on money to have it completed so that will have to wait a bit!

Thanks Phil. Was this person a graphic artist, or a sign maker, or illustrator? Just curious who I would contact locally to do this.

He's doing screen printing.
The first picture shows the poor quality job I did on Photoshop (with my very limited knowledge and skills).
Then the extra stickers he did (the white background is just the paper backing, the parts that aren't printed are transparent (except the white letters which are really white).

Thanks for the information Phil. I know exactly who I can speak with in my area.
Again, those panels look fantastic! I hope your enjoying the machines!

Phil, I am so excited for you. These are fantastic machines, in fact it's the washer I grew up with at home. Our dryer was a Maytag HOH. Congrats!
