Request for Modern Maid dishwashers

[danemodsandy]

'Sploder:

"Wow.. Would they have had late 60's models? Grams swears she had a modern maid dishwasher that caught fire during my aunts wedding in 1875."

If you're talking to me, my Modern Maids were 1981 models. I lived in that house until 1990. In that time, the dishwasher ate two timers and was giving trouble again. I was never happy with the range, either; there were hot spots in the oven, and I was doing a lot of finicky baking at the time. I will say that the oven was the best self-cleaner I'd ever had up to then- it came abso-damn-lutely spotless, every time.

Does anyone know where D&M was (is?) located or if they are still in business? Also, who knew Modern Maid, like Speed Queen, was a division of McGraw Edison. I always thought they were the Canadian version of Caloric! I guess that makes sense since Raytheon owned all 3 (plus Amana) until recently.
