WOW!!!!! never thought i would find one of these!!!!!!

i am off this weekend so i got up today and called about that g.e. mobile maid in toledo for $50.00.

the man still had it so i thought a little road trip would be fun. i hopped in the car and headed for toledo which is only about 3-4 hours away from cinti.

as you can see i bought it!

 

[rollermatic]

what was a big surprise

was what type of g.e. mobile maid it was! i was thinkin it would be a mid 60's spray arm machine like the one i already have and the one i have waiting for me to pick up in buffalo new york that i bought for a buck on e bay last year.

but to my surprise

and sheer delight what i found waiting for me in toledo was a

PINK INTERIOR G.E. BOWTIE IMPELLER MODEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rollermatic]

i never thought i would

have one of these and for 50 bucks and only 200 miles away!

the man i bought it from

was super nice and was selling it for a neighbor who had kept the dishwasher in a summer cottage on middle bass island in lake erie.

so the dishwasher was hardly used he told me and it still ran and did not leak.

 

[rollermatic]

so i left here at 1 oclock today

and was back home by 9 p.m. tonite unloading this beautiful old dishwasher!

i put it in the living room where all the rollermatics are and started to photograph and check it out.

the underneath looks very good

except for a bit of rust around the edges of the cabinet which will be an easy fix.

the motor and pump look great!

 

[rollermatic]

the motor is a

1/3 hp 1725 rpm g.e. motor and it looks very clean.

it runs very cool i found out tonite! it had an external starting relay
