thought i was done collecting until i saw this!!!!!!

[rollermatic]

thanks for lookin

i'm gonna finish up this thread by posting way too many pics of the sevice manuals that came with it! oh well, just ignore it if it's boring.

i just love those old manuals that went into great detail about how the dishwasher operates and how to load it. they were much more festive than the boring ones today!

i also found this note written by the owner that shows the dishwasher costing $251.00 with 100.00 down leaving 2 payments of about $75.00! wow!

it also shows he got in 12-4-74 and at the top i love that note saying he got it 2 days before his birthday and he was 41 years old at the time! this jives with what his neighbor who handled the sale for him said, that he was 87 now. love all this stuff! history!

and combo, thanks again, i will email you about getting that faucet adapter you said you may have, i would like it and will pay you for it! i also was wondering if you have any advice on how to fix the bearing in my agitate arm on my 1-18 that broke when the agitate shaft unscrewed and came off during a cycle. or perhaps you have a new agitate arm i could buy.

so here's all the pics and this will be all for this thread. i think!

and

more

dont know why some are uploading upside down???????

 

[rollermatic]

try some more

they are uploading upside down and i have no idea as to what to do about it!

so i'm done, at least for today! have tried uploading them one at a time up to 5 at a time, nothing works. guess i won't be posting the manuals and i was really hoping to, they are so nostalgic!

i even tried flipping my pics upside down and uploading them that way ansd that didn't work either. if anyone has an answer please let me know. if not i guess i'm done with this thread or i post the rest of them upside down! damn!

thanks!

WP DW Faucet Adapter

Hi Pete, the adaptor you need is WP Pt# WPW10254672, it is still readily available but almost $37, the original Pt# is 300446 if you want to search on line etc.

 

We still have a new in bag one that we can sell.

 

I also have the part you need for the 1-18.

 

Give me a call if interested, John

Thanks john

Was gonna send you another email here, sorry I didnt call yet. I have not been feeling well lately and have been stressed out so I've pretty much gone into my shell like I always do when I'm feeling down or ill.

Do appreciate the info, not sure if I want to spend 37 on a faucet adapter or not, but thanks for your offer. I did put a different hose set on the whirlpool but kinda wanted to get the original back on it eventually. Again, gotta think about it.

Think I might have an agitate arm, offered to buy one from a member today but will call you soon for that part no.

Thanks for the update
Pete
