There's a solution...
Look up a box called the xlink. It's a Bluetooth box that takes your cell phone, and converts to rj-11 that you can use with cordless phones, or in my case, a co. Line on the phone system. Now when a call comes on my iPhone, it rings the pbx co. Line and all the extensions ring. I have the 820D-2 version pbx. PM me if you want more info.
Ok...back to original topic lol.

Yes Patrick
they did use porcelain on steel but your machine looked etched in those first pix. Glad it wasn't. Poppy Red Rocks!
They clean much better than the Avocado machines!!

Bob - Glad you liked! I really still think there are cool machines waiting to be found here in the Pacific Northwest.
BrianL - I have heard of the Bluetooth xlink device. I considered it but then realized it probably doesn't support text or other notifications and if I lay the phone down I wouldn't know until I went to look at it. It is a cool toy that I wouldn't mind playing with though. Thanks for reminding me about this.
Jon - as you know the camera sometimes hides imperfections. There was a little rust in some spots, especially around screw holes but I touched them up and from a distance you don't see them. As far as avocado machines, think of them as an unripe tomato or as I like to call them SAGE GREEN. It's all the rage now!

CircleW. I'm afraid it's not my work... That's the exterior wall of the Gent's restroom at Shannon Falls Park in BC, Canada... midway between Whistler and Vancouver. And thank you. It's one of the very few photos of me that I like.
(I figured the pink painted rock was a tribute to gay stonemasons like moi. LOL!)

Great documentation photos.
Your collection is outstanding and the Poppy Red is gorgeous. Bob..

Jeff moparguy - Thank You. You really appreciate the 1-18 models once you use one. They have the largest capacity, fastest spin speed for it's time and do a really good job in cleaning, rinsing, and providing a fun factor while watching.
Bob dishwasherfan - Thanks for the compliment. I never intended on collecting as many machines as I have but I really enjoy each and every one of them. I have to admit the first time I saw the poppy red color back in the late 70's, I was hooked.

Funny Problem with a Poppy Vs a Tera-cotta 1-18 Washer
As some of you know I built a 1973 pair of poppy CI 1-18s that are at the mountain house by switching the cabinets from middle of the line poppy machines to a set of CI 1-18s. And when I made a trip with Robert and Jon and others to Aberdeen S Dakota years ago when the appliances were still there I found a Poppy window lid [ or so I thought ] and brought it home. When I installed it on my CI 1-18 in the mountains I immediately realized that the color match was terrible, At first I blamed GMs poor 1970s quality control for not being able to match colors well. Only later did I realize that I had a Tera-cotta lid and not a Poppy one. I have since found a proper Poppy window lid for the washer.
I fact Patric if you would like a Terra-cotta window for your washer get in touch with me as I know I still have it, John.

John -
Thank you for thinking of me with the window lid.
My machine DOES have a window lid so I won't need it but I appreciate your generosity. Here's another pic that shows the lid better.
I may be contacting you about other parts though!

"Or are they merely decoration?"
If there is any other reason for them I didn't find it!

decor only!
Lines In Window Lid
Are Just decoration, I always wished that they had been heater lines like the back windows of cars as the window steams over as soon as the washer starts filling with hot water and is nearly useless to look through.
