Cookie Sheets and Other Tall Items

Tomturbomatic - I think that putting the cookie sheets in the 18 series and later would work since the tubs were taller to accomodate the second wash arm. The upper rack on the 17 and earlier really swoop down from the center towards the left and right walls and I don't think I could maneuver cookie sheets into anything but along the sides. The 18 and later did not have as steep a slope on the upper rack. One of the things I like about the 17.

I have know broadcast engineers that have used dishwashers to clean audio patchbays and even smaller ceramic transmitter tubes-works in blasting the burned bugs out of the tube radiator fins.They somehow bypass the air filters nad then get blasted in there by the transmitter blower-then the heat of the tube BAKES them.Esp in TV transmitter tubes-they run hotter.also works in cleaning vacuum caps as well-fixed values.Variable ones shouldn't be run thru the washer since the detergent will wash out the cap leadscrew lubricants.
