It seems that KitchenAid recently had a contest to find the longest-running KD-10's in existence; two machines qualified. Below is a link to the contest page, with the winners shown. There is also a link on this page to the original KD-10 brochure, in PDF format, complete with specs. I've definitely downloaded a copy. However, not even this brochure shows the exterior of the machines. I'm most partial to the 10, with its simple handle. I know that by the time of the KD-12, an escutcheon was added to the handle to create a nameplate area for the KitchenAid logo, which was great from a merchandising standpoint, but which I find less attractively plain than the KD-10. I would certainly like to learn more about these fabled beasts- I don't know if I'll ever be able to find one, much less restore it, but they're wonderful to look at.

"Sandy - if by the time I get home this evening someone wasn't able to post any, I'll throw a few up." Ben: Thanks! Question- do you actually own one of these beauties? If you do, how difficult a resto are they? I figure Reeco can redo a timer, and a motor can be rebuilt too, but the door gasket would worry me. And racking would seem to be a problem, as well. Any thoughts on these issues? Anyway, I am kvelling in anticipation of photos- thanks again. |

Zowie! What a bee-you-tee-full machine! I hadn't realised that the racks were chrome on the KD-10; 1949 is late enough for vinyl, had KA wanted to use it. Is this machine in service, or are you waiting for restoration/installation hurdles to be cleared? It looks like it's not under a counter at this point. Either way, it's gorgeous! You are a lucky guy. |
