There is a movie about the Mullins dishwasher, which is the same as the Youngstown dishwasher on the Prelinger Archives.

I would love to see pics of your kitchen.
My parents mopved to Youngstown, OH in 1969 when I was in high school. I remember some friends of ours lived in an area of town that was flooded with new track style houses back in the 50s and they all had different styles of Youngstown kitchens all with the top loading and a few with the front loading Youngstown dishwasher. Many were still in place in the lates 60s and early 70s. I got to see a few of them and always thought the metal cabinets were cool. My Mom had wood as far back as I can remember but we did have a Youngstown dishwasher for a while and that ironically enough was in New York before we ever moved to Ohio.

Youngstown Kitchens Everywhere!
When I was little our house in Alexandria, Virginia had a Youngstown Kitchen, I often wondered what that man with the bow & arrow had to do with the kitchens, it was on the plate just under the kitchen sink. As I got older, living in NVA and DC, OMG, just about every home built in the fifties had those Youngstown Kitchens. Must have been the favorite of every builder. Believe it or not many still have them and people doing retro around them and having new appliances painted by car body shops to match vintage colors. | ||

The winner is..... The Youngstown was the first with the spray tube, introduced in 1950. Frigidaire didn't introduce their dishwasher until April 1955. My uncle had the 30" Youngstown dishwasher in his Scholtz 1956 home. That lasted until 1974 when I replaced it with a KitchenAid KDC-17. | ||

Youngstown My Youngstown is missing the dishwasher racks; was there another brand (top loader) with racks that might work with this? Thanks p.s. I don't own anything else, maybe I'll get a washing machine..., love to read the Forum anyway! | ||

Two For One...
Lonestar: Judging from other restoration "success stories" here, it sounds like your best bet is to work on finding another Youngstown Kitchens dishwasher like yours (or very similar) and use the best parts of that one and the one you already have to make one good dishwasher. I know that sounds very daunting, but look at it this way- you're halfway there! I do wish you luck- I know what it's like to own something that used to be wonderful, and could be again, if it weren't for missing pieces and mindless abuse on the part of former owners. I can assure you- if you fixate on your goal, it will happen. When I got my Volvo 245 wagon, all kinds of people told me I could never find everything it needed to be complete again. It's complete again! | ||

We had that d/w in 1978 when we moved into our new house (built 1959). It was a POS (mind you we were coming from a Kenmore roto-rack 2 cycle from about 1968) and didn't last more than about a month before it was replaced by a Kitchenaid (which was also a POS and only lasted about 10 years b4 the kit was redone). Only interesting things about the d/w was the "vault door" handle (open/lock/on) and the way the door popped open for the drying with the heating element glowing.

Too bad
it doesn't clean that well. It's a cool looking machine. I'd love to have one. I asked my Mom if she remembers our top loader and she said she does. She said she remembers she practically had to wash the dishes before putting them in. I think it's the reason she still rinses them (practically washes them if you ask me) today before she puts them in. | ||

I know
It's too bad. I have shown her many times how well her machine cleans. I never rinse when I use her machine but she still has to fill the sink with a little water, some soap and "swish" them around a bit. She puts them in the machine with the bubbles dripping off. Oh Well, if it makes her feel good I guess that's all that counts.
