thanks, i'm not sure what
year it is but i would like to know. it has to be mid 60's or possibly earlier i would think. got it from atlanta, georgia after seeing it advertised here. think it cost 50 bucks. jim the trucker brought it up.
had to replace the motor cause the bolt sheared off that holds the impeller on. got the motor from larry in parma (he has more). it was a real pain to rebuild (i find d&m's are the worst) but after a lot of cussin i got it finished and boy does it run!
a little critter had made it's home in the control panel (mouse i think from the size of it's nest) and had eaten thru about 6 of the wires. they were all white and yellow so it took a bit of tinkering to get them spliced. but it runs great, all lites work, all cycles too. i use it as a daily machine even if it is a pain to load. that top rack really spins fast too! love to pop the lid open quickly to catch a glimpse of it (and get a blast of water in the face).
i love roto racks, all colors, all types! something about that top round rack that just makes me smile! it's so 60's to me! the sears catalog was my main reading material in the 60's and these d&m kenmores used to fascinate me for hours!
i remember in the catalog it said "torrents of water engulf each rack"! to me that is shakespeare!!!!!
