The story:
About four months ago, my a real estate agent friend told me he'd seen this in a house he had shown to some clients. He told me to call the listing agent and give them my name to call when the dishwasher was removed. It was working and passed the home inspection. I've not had good luck with getting anyone to take me seriously about old appliances in houses for sale so basically wrote it off. Last week, this dishwasher showed up on Craigslist so I called and picked it up today. I don't have much interest in a 27" impeller dishwasher other than for the "wow" factor so I called my friend Harriet in Minneapolis and she was thrilled to see it. We'll load it up Friday and drive it up but the install will be have to be done by her contractor.

Drooling here!

Yay,
Harriet is excited to say the least, but she has 3 little itzy bitzy questions...
#1 Does it have a detergent dispenser?
#2 Does it have side panels?
#3 Is it a gravity drain?

You go, girl! I didn't think they make fuzzy sweaters with stripes!
Oh, and congrats on the HP dw!

Yay and the deluxe model with roll-r-racks instead of the top rack sitting on the bottom rack and you have to lift out the top rack to get to the bottom rack.

Yes, yes and yes!
Dual detergent dispenser, side panels we were surprised to see and gravity drain with trap.

What a Spectacular Machine. That Porcelain just gleams.
This is turning out to be quite the month. Seemed awfully quiet around here, and WHAM...Machines popping up everywhere. And this time close to the East Coast

aw man.. thats cool.. greg finds all the fun stuff. ha ha. have never seen one of those in person, but one day. awesome find there MR.MAN
Wowies!
Loves it. I think you'll really like this...just a little descaling and the insides will gleam. That porcelain is minty and miles thick--and the spray doodle on the top will preheat the tank before that impeller begins delivering wash-action satisfaction to your plates and dainties. Hooray! And then it will twirl and dry your dishes--does it get any better?
Just like my pank one, only minus the burned-out motor. Hooray!
The Roll-R-Rack flips upside down if you need to put taller things in the bottom...and still works as a top rack even when inverted! Really clever design.
The motor shaft extends (via a bakelite extender thingy) up through a tube in the bottom of the tank. When the impeller runs, it creates a cushion of air that keeps the water from going down the drain. When it stops, everything runs out the slots under the impeller. No irritating carbon-porcelain seals to deal with! Double hooray!
If yours has a timer like mine, see if it doesn't have the terminals needed to run an electric pump off the timer, just in case you're not totally in love with gravity draining. Oh, but what am I saying, your kitchen is right above the basement--do what Robert does, and just run a hose down to a washer standpipe below! ;-)
I can't wait to hear this thing roar to life! You'll pop that Superba KA out of the kitchen so fast its Hydro-Sweep will spin ;-).

Would'a, could'a and should'a
We had similar model only it was badged GE in 1979. Exact same tub, impeller and racks but no dispensers. Cleaned beautifully and held quite a lot for a dinosaur. Only problem was that when activated, made the entire house shake(not exagerating)and sound like it was about to lift off into space. Parents nixed it and it was replaced by a KDP-18. Wish I had been able to keep it around.
When I think of all the beautiful vintage appliances that have ended up at the Salisbury-Sharon transfer station, makes me want to cry.

Wow I didn't realize that. The only problem with that is if you add a forgotten dish all your detergent laden water does down the tubes (literally). I bet this machine uses a amperage sensor on the motor to determine the water level, so it probably just refills itself back up.

I'm totally in love with gravity drain machines, I didn't realize this machine had side panels which means if I want to put it in the spot in the kitchen where the KD-14 is it will fit perfectly and I wont have to build a cabinet for it and yes it will be gravity drained. ***whooosh***
