Early 60s Tappan Reversing Drum DW
Wow, haven't seen one of these in a long time, we would love to give it a proper home in our wall of dishwashers at the museum.
This DW was an interesting exercise in engineering, but from our actual use testing it was easily the poorest performing DW ever built in the US during the 2nd 1/2 of the 20th century.
If someone wants to help save it I will pay reasonable shipping, recoverey costs.

John, this deserves to be in the museum!
The Elusive Dual-Drench dishwasher!!! Last time I saw one was when I was 11 or 12.
Alan, you simply poured what would be considered a normal amount of detergent (2 tablespoons?) and as the water cascaded around the tub, it would dissolve through the mesh. There were a couple of times I put too much in and it still had soap in it after the final rinse.
Tappan Dual Drench DW
It had two detergent cups, the first wash would rinse the detergent out or either the right or left cup [ I can't remember which direction it washed first.
Then it would drain & refill and wash the other direction using the detergent in the other side of the dispenser cup.
After the wash drained the DW would do two rinses, one in each direction.

Tappen!
Family friends of ours had the TOL model with the night light and the separate roll out top rack. It was quiet DW for the era but they rinsed everything first so I never knew what the real performance was. Theirs was just like the picture except they had it in yellow! I remember the dial light up and when it was drying it sounded like some type of fan going.

Hi, thanks for the heads up on this DW, the seller and I have talked and it will be making its way to the wall of DWs here at the museum in Beltsville.
This way everyone can at least see a video of it operating even if they cannot come and visit in person.

Was this made by D&M?
No, this was a purely Tappan Design. It's originally from the early 1960s late 1950s. The house we bought in fall of 1961, built up to a year earlier, had the same dishwasher, but it had the O'Keefe & Merrit brand label. My dad opted to have the Waste King moved to the new house and the dishwasher in the new house went to our old house.
Very cool, can't wait to see it. Over the years I'd heard the revolving drum described, I couldn't ever clearly see it in the brochures posted. Glad to see a better view of it here.
Greg, when it was "washing" the sound was reminiscent to me of driving down a freeway in rainy weather and the noise the tires made with dealing with the water/mist on the pavement.
