Does yours have the light in the bottom.
Sure does Veg, the coffee just seems to taste better if its lit up from the bottom. I generally only use coffee makers that have seperate pots so I can put in the dishwasher.

Robert, I was blown over. I do not remember "grammas'" tower twirling that fast. At best it was half between that initial segment and the final washing segment with it twirling around as it was. If it had twrirled that fast, I really would have gotten into the machihne. Yes, I did enjoy watching it though. And glad to have the memories refreshed.
Bob what really makes a difference in this machine is if the water pressure senser is set properly. Its very touchy, 1/10 of an inch in either direction makes a huge difference in how much water fills into the machine, if the dishwasher is not getting enough water the tower turns much slower.
pressure sensor or, in case of smoke, censer, see.......
...Why does my dishwasher smell like High Mass at Smokey Mary's?
I wonder if that was what was wrong with the Consumer Reports machine (and with the few I saw)? I remember how Consumers' Research, I think, rated the GE combo unacceptable because of very poor water extraction (imagine how bad it had to be to flunk out on that), then found out that the OOB switch mechanism was not working properly and when that was corrected, it was still no star, but no worse than the rest of the early 60s combos at water extraction. Properly calibrated, this could have been the best 30" wide dishwasher to wash no more than 6 glasses.

Percolator in the dishwasher
Robert, I have a P/S Starflite percolator that I haven't put through the dishwasher as I've been concerned that the fabulous stars would fade away. But yours looks terrific--do you machine wash it regularly?

I was thinking the exact same thing Tom, the pump pressure sensor is mounted next to the pump. The pump outlet port has a small spring loaded rod that moves in and out, the higher the water pressure moving through the pump outlet up to the Jet-Tower the further this rod moves out. When it reaches its necessary force the rod pushes a button on a microswitch which starts the timer motor moving, which shuts off the water valve. This microswitch is not mounted very securely so I could see how it could get moved slightly during transit.

NEW FOR '52 from Youngstown
From the April, 1952 Electrical Merchandising:
Selling Features: Hydro-Electric control (as opposed to a hydroelectric power plant), an operating system (computer lingo in 1952!) that employs electricity and water pressure to insure positive action in each phase of the 9 3/4 min. wash-rinse cycle...flat porcelain enameled lid provides extra work surface (HORRORS! NO MORE WINDOW..Even Westinghouse Dryers got a window in '52)
Upper racking basket holds up to 50 per cent more including stemware, ash trays, coasters (you always have so many of these two items), cutlery basket is vinyl covered, curved to hang on outer rim of rack, holds service for 6 (still).

Last Word In Automatic Dishwashing
There's a movie in the Prelinger Archives about this dishwasher called "The Last Word in Automatic Dishwashing". It's a movie for salesmen that is supposed to help selling this dishwasher to the housewife. I love the Prelinger Archives and will start a new thread about it in the Super forum. Lots of gems there.

questions
So what brands are the washer, range, and refrigerator the modern housewife is shown using? And what brands are those appliances in the later shot with picture overlays of those 3 appliances.
Incidnetally, is there a rinse cycle in this machine?

Thanks for the neat video Robert! Sure looks like the machine has great washing action. How long does the complete cycle take? Love the way the lid just pops up at the end and all that steam rising. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Terry
two rinses, 9.75 minutes

Quick Wash
Hi Terry,
The Dishlex machines in Australia starting with the Mark 8 in 1980 has a 14minute fast wash, when the machine was connected to 55-65degC hot water.
Prewash, Wash, Rinse, Rinse, Off.
By the mid 80's they'd gotten it down to 12 minutes.
We used to use the fast wash, when we had lots of friends over. Mum would use it to clean bowls plates and cups that didnt have dried on crap. If it was lightly soiled it always came clean.
When they ditched the old style machines in the mid 90's the fast wash was increased to about 30 minutes, but that was due to the cold water connection.

Thanks for the information Nathan, I think it is to bad that we have totally gotten away from this today. Like you said when you have company with lots of glasses and such it would be great to have a 15 min. cycle. Would also be great for glassware that you just have sitting around for decoration where all they really need is a light wash. Terry

Light wash
"Like you said when you have company with lots of glasses and such it would be great to have a 15 min. cycle. Would also be great for glassware that you just have sitting around for decoration where all they really need is a light wash. Terry"
What I do in situations like that is run the Rinse & Hold cycle twice, once with detergent and once without.
