Hi guys!
My old friend John Buscemi has some issues with his old Kitchenaid dishwasher.
I'm not sure which model is it exactly, but it seems that the motor died.
That machine is very special for him becuase his mother bought it when he was a kid (he's on his late 50's or 60's now). It's also special for me because thanks to it we met each other a few years ago and later he came to Brazil on his vacation, a few years ago and we had wonderful times together.
Well, I told him to keep the machine. he bought a second hand Maytac (modern one) and the litle KA went to the basement waiting for the AW's Salvation Team.
Probably next october I'll be visiting him and I'd love to make him a surprise. I'll have very few days (maybe less than a week) to fix that machine, but I'll need as much help as possible.
Instead of simply fixing the damaged motor, i thought about doing a full restoration. Can you help me?
Of course only a few days isn't too much time to gather all the parts, etc, so I'd love to find someone living close to him that really understands about machines (he's not too much into appliances) that could visit him to check the model and the real situation of the machine.
It will give me almost two months in advance to search for the parts.
Also, during the restoration, I'll need some help first because I never opened a vintage KA dishwasher and I'm not used to it. Second because I HATE doing things alone and at least four hands are much better than only two.
Also, I'd love to meet personally more people from AW.org My plans are Boston Lynn for about a week, plus 4 days in NYC, maybe 2 days in Reading (some friends told me that the be$t outlets can be found over there) and then more 7 days in Chicago before flying back to Brazil.
I also need some information about nice places to buy clothes (Outlet stores, etc) but later I'll create another thread on the proper forum for this information.
