The person who has this is unsure of the year. It has a pull-out door like a drawer vs. a pull down like today's dishwashers. Interior is pink.
What year is this GE turquoise dishwasher?

Thank youse.
It's 1960. It's an SU-70 and I'd love to know if it's for sale. Can we get an interior shot?

The Great Custom 4-Cycle
The SU-70 was the first (and arguably, the best) dishwasher my Parents ever owned.
Ours was a 1961 oddball model; pretty much identical to the one above, but instead of the plate warmer control, it had a visible cycle dial where one ought to be and the ventilation grille was brown instead of white. It also had the new all-plastic silverware basket instead of the older Plastisol covered wire one.
This thread should be in the Imperial section where I would have found it a half hour ago. Thank you Bob for the head's up.

Be still my beating heart
Damn, I almost wet myself, when I saw this pic! I would absolutely love to own this machine. There was something about the drawer type machines shape, that proved to be great cleaning machines. My brother in law was a appliance repair person, and said it might of had to do with the interior shape Especially with the bow tie impeller. I think this model was by far the best drawer type, of all the drawer machines.

This was offered to me, and I was curious about the age, as I couldn't find a lot on the internet in just a general search. I have no idea if it works as the person who bought it for her kitchen never installed it, nor did the person she bought it from. No other history is known about it. Gasket needs replacing and I was told the hoses probably need to be replaced as well. I have not arranged to pick it up yet.
Hey Everybody -- Check It Out!
There's more than a dishwasher up for grabs, and that fridge is the exact model and size I'm looking for. Too bad it's on the wrong coast.

Sheesh, looks like my mother's old kitchen appliances! She had the plain builder model GE dishwasher with the bow tie impeller and a GE refrigerator that looked nearly identical.
OMG
If there are still SU70's kicking around in Florida, I may have to move!! Let us know how this turns out - this has to be the coolest GE dishwasher ever!!

How does the dishwasher in the ebay listing differ from the one in the OP, besides the visible cycle dial that Ken mentioned?
Ralph, the one that's next to the fridge, just has the one cycle The one without the visible cycle dial has 4 distinct cycle buttons.
Paul,
It's actually not in Florida, but a few hours away in another state. I had no idea it was so special. I was going to pick it up in a couple of months when we go visit the in-laws since it's on the way. However, I may need to go snag it sooner in case the seller decides to change their mind!

Thanks Bob!
Go for it Jeannine! I hope you can save it! And we'll help you bring it back to life (as long as you post lots of pictures!!!)
It's here!!
We *finally* picked up this dishwasher! Months ago I bought some pink metal cabinets near St. Louis and had them stored until we could go up there. On the way back from picking up the cabinets (turns out they are Geneva!), we picked up the dishwasher.
It's in worse shape than I thought, but I'm hoping a good cleaning will take care of that. The gasket around the top is completely dry rotted, so hopefully that won't be too hard to fix.

Yay! Glad you saved this dishwasher!
The top tub gaskets were a weak point on these machines and the original GE replacements are very hard to find. However, closed-cell foam weatherstripping makes a good substitute. Looking forward to seeing more - it's a real beauty.
