VERY OLD Hobart DW for sale:

[whirlykenmore78]

On Ebay. This looks like some machines in the Crescent/Hobart catalogue Robert posted a while back. I would have to guess it is from the early postwar years or VERY early 50's at the newest. I know we have not seen this model DW before in the time I have been a member.

So Interesting!

Thanks for posting this.
This is the model that was in the Elementary School that I went to. It was the gas version.
I was given .25 cents per hour to run this machine and clean all of the Texas Ware plates for Breakfast and lunch. It was a joy for me. I remember the sounds. The huge flame to heat the water. Seems like yesterday but it was almost 30+ years ago.
Beautiful machine!

OMG Nick

I just sent that same posting to stevet a few days ago. I'm not even sure if that has a timed wash. I think it's Manual Control.

That guy is hitting the crack pipe for the amount of money he wants. Steve commented the parts are NLA. Unless you find a machine from that vintage for parts especially the Cast Iron Manifolds and Wash Arms.

Notice the Weight Chain System for the Doors. How cool is that.

Nick... Also I just noticed 3 Strainer Pans instead of the 2 with the cover over the Standpipe Overflow.

That Old Hobart Logo... So Classic from years gone by.
