It is not that hard to get a cutting board made. Most any city has a craft store where a woodworker could make it to your dimensions for you or you could buy one and have it sized down as long as you leave the front edge finished. It's not like it has to look just one way and it's not like if you use it that it's going to look new for long. You could also have a piece of marble, granite or Corian cut to fit the space.
 
Tom .. my hubby was thinking of putting in a pice of formica as we have some .. it would look alot better .. i do hae a cutting board but dont think it is big enough .. but ya i know what you mean about getting one made ..

Those racks are in great shape.  Not sure if I see a couple of rust spots on the lower one.  You can easily apply plastisol repair to any rusted areas on the racks.  Finding it in the right shade of blue will not be so easy.  The only blue rack repair I've found is Maytag brand, and it's very blue.  These days, most stores carry only white and gray.
 
Ya there is a couple of rust/melted spots ...and in one area missing one post for the plates .. but overall in pretty good shape ..

What a find Marion.

My neighbors had a similar model when I was a kid. I was intrigued with the upper rack rollers on top of the rail and of course the "In the door" silverware basket. I always wondered how efficient the spray from the lower spray arm would pass through a 3 inch tube at that distance to properly feed the upper spray arm. I would love to see this machine run with a plexiglass cover so we could watch it work. Great find, Bob...
 
Thanks Bob .. ya i wondered about that lower spray arm to .. i thought we were missing the piece at first then i realized nope that is all there is . lol
and it works great ..

Oh too cool, Marion!  I love the idea of the built-in food warmer on the dishwasher top.  Talk about convenience - use the dishwasher top as a serving counter in the dining room,  load up the dirty dishes, then roll the machine to the sink for the wash cycle!! 

 

I briefly had a Canadian variation of this one - an Inglis Royal 100 with the rapid advance timer.  A fellow turquoise fan here in Montreal has it now.  

 

If you need a user's manual I have the Inglis version if that helps (I'll send you the English version, not the French one... LOL)

 

Phil - you're right - the SWP90 Whirlpool is the 'American Cousin' of that Inglis Royal top-loader you found and saved for me last summer!!

 

Thanks for the pictures, Peter - they are always appreciated!!

 

 
 
Paul, you're the one who found it! I just picked it up for you as it was near my hometown! Did you take any pics of it? Those I have are quite bad!
 
So interesting

Echoing Paul, Pete the scans are fabulous. A real two speed machine--News to me, amazing! Marion can play with the buttons and hear the wonder of the up and down of whoosh-shoosh speeds.

 

On my BOL WP portable model from the 80's there are two full spray arms but no tube. Instead, the water juste shoots up from a hole in the middle of the bottom arm. It would be really cool to watch that water jump up to the second wash arm.

 

Ad Underkill for a change. If I had made the ad, the prime rib would indeed be on the carving board, but the warming board would be full of steaming delicious side dishes: roasted brussel sprouts, roasted sliced sweet potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding--this one because I've never had it and always wanted to. I wonder what it tastes like.
 
Turq that is a cool idea .. roll it out to the dinning room to serve even warm dishes that were being dried in the washer .. set the table and serve the HOT food .. as that warmer gets hot .. and then load it up after and plug it in to wash . now how easy is that ...lol.
I would love to have the English version of the manual .. allthough i am orginally from Canada .. BC .. moved to Oregon 13 yrs ago when i married my hubby ..

Mickey you can really hear the difference when it shifts to different setting .. i changed it from the longer wash to the shorter one while it was going and it is like a transmission shifting ..lol

it would be cool to see that water shooting straight up.. i can imagine the force it needs to shoot up and get that upper arm to move and clean the upper dishes..

Here's mine, Mare

It's in use because the built-in Tappan is experiencing door latch difficulties. Member John Combo is going to help me fix it. the Whirlpool is so fast and so tolerant of any loading pattern, with wider columns in the left side and back for most bowls and frying pans, etc.
Here's open rubber rimmed valve for shooting water up to the top arm.
