From seller:

We have two very old appliances at our cottage and wondering if they would be of interest/value to anyone. Feel free to pass on this info or let me know a more appropriate group to contact regarding dishwashers. I will be up there this weekend and can send digital photos of both if there is interest.

Viking Jet Spray top-loading dishwasher

½ Horsepower, Made in Toronto Canada by T. Eaton Company
Style: 745D231A11
Model: PV029
Serial #: 192043

It has three buttons for Mixed Load, China Glass and Rinse Hold and there are single wash/triple rinse and double wash/triple rinse, platewarmer functions.

We also have an even older Frigidaire range likely from the 1940s or 1950s with no visible model number. The oven dial is just numbers 1-5 (with 1 being the hottest). The bottom oven element just gave out after all these years but elements work fine.

Nice Top load dishwasher

Would love to see the inside. Reminds me of my Westinghouse my sister is using these days. right down to the locking lever on the lid. Mike

I thought I would look in my library and see if any of my Eatons catalogs might have had this dishwasher. I suspect its from the late 60's and my earliest Eatons book is from Fall/Winter 1972. The top loader in that catalog looks kind of similar, but lol any notice the glaring typo????? LOL. Whoops...

Here is the other dishwasher page...

These newer Vikings kind of remind me of White-Westinghouse similarities on this side of the national divide.

I give. Where's the typo?

 

[oldappliancenut]

is it

the fibre glass????

 

[Unimatic1140]

First page, first paragraph, 2nd sentence. LOL Hand dishwashing might be a chore, but not quite the chore as described!

 

[frontaloadotmy]

Do you suppose they meant to type

dreadful?

 

[appnut]

Hey, you could cut a main vein or artery with a knife or an accidentally broken/shattered glass. And it could be deadly.

 

[jeffg]

I thought it was a reference to the following line... "family feud over dish detail".

At least in our household, that often was deadly.

Good dishwasher

My sister had to have my Westinghouse that is in mint cond. It was sitting in storage anyway, I get it back when she/me finds something else in as good a shape. She just loves it. I will take a pic. next time I am there. Same racks spray arm & wash tower. Washes very well & very quiet for it's time. The dishwasher was used 5 times when I was given it. Viking was a very popular dishwasher brand here when I was growing up. My grandmother was a Viking girl, I am surprised we had a GE dishwasher while growing up .Mike

Holy cow, Sundridge is just 30 minutes south of here! Too bad I don't have room for it.

OOOOH what a flash-back. That Eaton's catalog is reminiscent (sp?) of my days reading the Sears catalog. It may as well have been my version of the Bible, Torah or Quran.

~The oven dial is just numbers 1-5 (with 1 being the hottest).
And here I thought that was only a quirky Britishism.

Wasn't Viking a rebadged GE in Canada?
Is Eaton like Sears, rebadging everyone else's products?

 

[countryguy]

Yes Eaton's (no longer exists) was like Sears.

Whoa!

OMG, not quite the Viking top-loader of my mis-spent youth, but pretty interesting nonetheless! Ours was probably an older model with an impeller wash system - ours had the oval pushbuttons for the cycle selections (Mixed Load, Pots'N'Pans and Rinse and Hold on ours) and it was a lovely shade of coppertone which clashed beautifully with the harvest gold range and refrigerator.. lol

I am going to contact the seller on this one for sure!!

Mike, I can trump your grandmother about being a <Viking Girl>; my father and uncle worked for Eatons at the St-Laurent warehouse and we got everything from the 'scratch and dent' delivery returns!
