yes, mother Toggle had one in 1968 (TOL no visible timer)and again in her new house in 1973 (MOL). They were fun and worked well. The end of the 1-foot long (30cm) half-depth wash-arm had a screw-cap that was removable to enable cleaning out debris from the holes (water "jets"). I was OK to lose the space in the corner with a round rot-rack, bacause at the time the mentality was to put only glasses, cps mugs("beakers") up there and not pots and pans. The fun thing to do was open the latch and then open the door to catch the rack still spinning! If anything the cetrifugal force emptied the caved-in mug bottoms of water. The rack itself was center-suppoted and rested on a platic "cam" that had a "seat" for high and low positions that was about one whole inch (2.54 cm) apart. | ||

It is interesting to note that in the above picture of a portable TOL machine, that plastic white and silver round thing is NOT a timer. The timer was hidden and had electrial rapid-advance. Rather, it is a segmented "cup" that houses neon indicator lights that follow the cycle sequence of: W-R-R-W-R-R-DRY There were also two lights above the pushbuttons on the left side of the control panel of the machine. On mother's later more MOL machine that location was taken by a timer. Interestingly the timer had a red neon pilot light over it, as if the thuderous noise and many other indicator and console lights somehow did not convey "OPERATING" status. :-) | ||

we had one too
When we moved down here when I was in 3rd grade, the house had a LK harvest gold roto- rack, no timer, just the claky buttons on the left, the black panel and a little toggle switch on the right for a long or short dry. That is the first dishwasher we had ever had. Only thing was it leaked. My dad and I losened up the plate and reversed the gasket to see if that would help, but after putting it back together, packing it full of dishes and waiting for a surprise, it didn't work - motor wouldn't run. Now, I think we probably pulled some wires loose but I was too young to know and my dad didn't know anything about dishwashers. Too bad they didn't have it fixed. After a few years of bugging my parents, they final got another Kenmore, pretty much bol, but it did the job. I was always trying to make it better, actually broke it not too long after we got it, but played innocent and sears came out, fixed it and said it was a manufacture defect, whew!!!!!! Many others came and went in that space including a Kitcheaid Imperial 18, Hobart WMC1 and now there sits the Hobart WM5H. To the left of the sink is a Fisher and Paykel dishdrawer found on craigstlist for fee (it works :-), out in the utility room there is a older Maytag and in the garage there is a Superba 18 but haven't had a chance to test it out or take pictures. They guy said it worked, but where the heck am I going to put it? Looks like I need to add a whole other wing for all the appliances. Y'all take care, John | ||
