That is a NICE machine and must be '56ish. I wonder if it has the much-sought-after rinse agent dispenser in it?

Robert, this might be just the thing to help you retire that spray-tube dishwasher from your kitchen ;-)

...if this model was like mine, it has terminals on the timer for an electric pump, even if it's a gravity-drain unit. No more creative wiring--the timer controls the contacts and runs the pump only when needed to drain. How chic!

Grab it if you can, Robert! This looks pretty cool!
Would this one still have the impeller wash system or was this a first run of the spray-arm models??

Top rated by CR in the early days of automatic dishwashing, two washes with fresh detergent each time!

The Deluxe Model it looks like, not the BOL. Robert I hope you bring this home. It needs a loving home. Oh and Turqoisedude, yep, impeller wash.

Well everyone I just went over there (55th and Queen Ave South) and to my disappointment the machine is in really bad shape like:

Impeller is broken at two different spots,

Its a portable and the Porcelain or Wood top has been removed and thrown away,

The Impeller Guard is gone,

Lower rack is chipped and rusted,

The pink tip over cup detergent dispenser is cracked,

The Silverware basket is chipped,

The paint around the timer dial is chipped and at least 50% of the words are gone,

You can clearly see the machine was run hard for years.

other than that its mint LOL. The outside looked nice though. So I said I would let everyone know if anyone needs some internal parts from this machine it still avaliable, but he said it was gonna go in the alley soon, so if you need it act fast.

Yay I get to keep the '56 Frigidaire (I saw that Nate, hmmmph) :)
