WOW, My Ultimate Dream Dishwasher has Arrived

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Well here it is. And I want to give a big thanks to Chris (christfr) of St. Louis who offered to me, it was so very kind of you Chris, I can't thank you enough. I've always wanted a Youngstown Jet-Tower Dishwasher ever since I saw my first Youngstown Ad. For me I've now reached my pinnacle of automatic dishwashing!

Here are the first seven pictures for the evening.

Electrical Free Water Valve

Look at this VERY COOL mechanical water valve. The copper cam disk on this primitive timer turns and mechanically raises the plunger on the water valve to add water to the tank! Very cool, I can't wait to see this in action.

WOW!! Robert, congratulations...as the proud owner of a YOUNGSTOWN JET-TOWER are you still in disbelief? I know I would have to keep checking the basement to make sure I wasn't dreaming (actually I check the shed frequently for a similar reason...)! Chris, what an awesome gift to give, not to mention beautiful. From looking at the pictures, it's in MINT shape...great job detailing!

I've never seen a mechanically-operated water valve...how interesting! No more worrying about cleaning valve plungers, pins, and bladders either! And an on-board heater to get those dishes sparkling clean!

OY, Gottenyu!! Of all the early dishwashers, this had to be the worst, the absolute, hands down winner of the shtik dreck "award." I'm happy you got your dream (nightmare)machine, but I have used and loaded these and the Apex, and this is no Apex. Have fun, enjoy. It is fun to watch the water begin squirting out of the lower holes and then higher up as it fills and builds up water pressure. Maybe you will come up with a way to angle the spray out of the top holes so that they do not completely block the view down through the glass as they spray water where it is not needed. What a waste of resources. You will want to insulate that water heater tank and you will want to use it because the hottest water possible is absolutely necessary to get cleaning and drying out of that 9 minute cycle. Actually, if the early KitchenAids had such a water heater, they would have washed far better and they actually had a capacity that was more than a sad joke. Enjoy it in good health. If it makes you happy, I'm happy for you and that is not something said over positive situations.
 
Love it all! Congrats.
Chris is a good man. Would someone decent snatch him up already? (Pardon the expression.)

Can't miss with a swing-open front panel complete with handle.

Does it pay to stick a "regular" dishwasher timer in the hatch and convert to a solenoid-type standard water valve, should all else fail?

How does this contraption drain? Gravity, pump?
Does the pump switch on and off or is there a soleonoid or a mechanical valve?

Sorry about the lack of patience. LOL
