Odd Viking disposer I got??

[volsboy1]

I got this new Viking for well very cheap cause it was missing the switch and the waste pipe.I have never seen one like this one.It looks like a old Kitchenaid but I don't ever remember Viking having this model.I have two Vikings and they look just like my Old Kitcheniad superba batch feed the ones with the Wham-jam breaker buttons.Its not arrived yet but there were tons of pics and the grind system looks different.Does anybody know when this was made?I have never seen a Viking disposer like this one.

Mid 90's

I purchased one of these in the Mid 90's. I went to buy a Kitchenaid 1HP and found this model marked down to nothing. Viking was switching over to having their disposals made by ISE and these were on clearance. I held on to it and installed it a few years ago in my new home. To date, I would say it works perfectly.

Does this machine have the cast iron or steel rotating shredder or the cast zinc one-later models went to zinc-and it wore out quickly.Zinc is much softer than the steel or iron rotating shredders.All in all-a nice machine!would LOVE to find a batch feeder like this for my place.The highly effective undercutter shredding action of the Viking design is the best.Long fibrous debris is cut up so it can't clog drain lines.
