Vintage KA DW/Sink combo

[sudsmaster]

Saw this tonite on the SF Bay Area Craig's list...

DW looks like a KD17 or earlier unit. They are probably asking too much for this item, but it's interesting anyway.

Oooh, that's a KDS16. That's where my sister and BIL live

Not Too Bad

I think the price is okay if the DW is any good- you don't see many of these. I wouldn't mind having it myself if I were redoing an old house.

When.....

Did KitchenAid make the last sink/combo ? That machine is what...about a 1970's

When did KitchenAid make the last sink/combo?

I have sales literature for the Energy Saver V (KD-20) series that show the sink/dishwasher combo available. This line was manufactured between 1981-1984.

Ironically, the unit available for sale is my model that I am currently using in my kitchen. The difference is that my top is porcelain and theirs is stainless steel. (I would have preferred the stainless.)

I noticed the original KitchenAid disposal in their picture. That is really cool. My kitchen is on it's 3rd disposal since the dishwasher sink unit was installed in 1968.
