Thank you Greg for these pictures. I saved them back then, but they are on the hard drive of my old computer. Very impressive machines indeed. Beasts in one word! LOL
So Menards TOTALLY REDEMEDES THEMSELVES!

More photos for Bob:
Hey Bob, I went back and took some more photos of the dishwasher for you. It seems she is destined for the crusher - they dropped it off the back of the truck causing the door glides to be completely bent out of shape. So much that it was impossible to open the door completely.

Door - I suspect there is the main detergent dispenser on the right, and a pre-wash one on the left?
Inside - a mess. The top rack adjusters were pretty cool though.

If I were closer I would already have that Maytag w/ suds-saver at my house. I absolutely love them, be it a GE, 'Tag, or any other brand.
Thanks for more pics - a very WCI'd Westinghouse with Frigidaire jewelry. That cutlery basket is very Frigidaire-ian too.
Ben, I cannot say thank you enough so deeply from inside me for the appreciation of the effort you made so I could see more pictures. I've never seen any WCI type dishwasher like that inside. Especially a spray arm (wash arm) like that. I wonder how well this thing really cleaned. The Frigidaire version must have been WCI's high-end label. Fascinating.
WCI Dishwasher
Is that a GE mechanism? Ive only ever seen one Frigidaire like that, and it resembled a BOL GE knock off. Perhaps WCI used GE patents?

Those early WCI Frigidaires (also the White-Westinghouse and Kelvinator) dishwasher wash and racking systems were based on the last 'true' Westinghouse designs - I think that endured into the early 90s.
It's not a great view, but note the similarities between the rack and wash arm/tower to this 1971 Westinghouse dishwasher. I've got a later model (a Viking-badged version) with the exact same upper rack adjustment.

I remember these dishwashers well. Every time I went to Eaton's, downtown Montreal, as a teenager, opening every dishwasher door, on the 5th floor. Lots of Viking dishwashers, and Maytags, and KitchenAids. The upper racks of the Vikings (as in the pictures) did not slide out smoothly as the Maytags and KitchenAids. I don't think they had wheels.

Menards sells what?
I had no idea Menards sold used appliances. Do they all sell used appliances? Going to Menards is a rare treat, as there is not one near me. Next time I'm in Wiaconsin, I'm definitely checking on that.

Sad,no Menards in my area-have to go to the swap shops for older machines.Just only 2 Lowes in my area-HD closed their place several years ago.Now its a Burlington Coat factory.
