Chris, I am so glad that you were able with Jimmy's help to bring this old beauty back to life. Are you planning on putting her in the kitchen if all goes well? | ||

Thanks Chris, we did have a great time at that convention. I really think you should give her a try in the kitchen. It only takes 30 min. to do a load and it sure does clean! | ||

I think you will like it too. Last night I got tired of trying to shoehorn bowls into the Bosch, so took the overflow out to the patio kitchen and powered up the KD-2P - which is more or less the portable version of the KD-12. Same wash arm, very similar racks (albeit top loading style). It performed beautifully, and in 45 minutes vs the 105 minutes the Bosch takes. But both are good machines in their own ways. | ||

This is a wonderful machine. it does a GREAT job on dishes in NO TIME FLAT. My father bought ours in 1954 . I have it now and it is still working perfectly. Congratulations on your find. I am sure it wil give you many many years of good service. | ||
