Managed to find a portable kitchenaid by hobart this morning on Craigslist, asking price, $25!
went and took a look, bit rough, but I needed a machine, and Roberts screaming pink machine is the inspiration. Will be tweaking this one in the very near future, if any one has any leads on a lower rack for a Kitchenaid by Hobart Regency portable (will add model number tomorrow when I look closer at the machine when I get to the building I will be living in and the machine is stored at now) will also need the sump strainer/filter that goes under the hydro sweep arms. Any info, advice, help would be appreciated Bad photo attached, will add better ones tomorrow as well

Chris, just remember you can't "BobLoad" this like you did with the Maytag. Since it only has the one level wash, you have to be mindful of what ya put in the bottom rack and respectively, the top rack for things to get clean properly.

Another Regency. I just picked one up about a month or so.They clean great, but the racking gets tricky. When I'm making dinner and getting things ready, I use as many plates as possible. I'll even serve a salad on a plate because pretty much everything must be a plate in the lower rack. You can not put large mixing bowls in the lower rack Strickly for flat pieces.
The only issue I had with mine was the fill solenoid strainer was jammed packed, so you might want to check that out. Eddie

cleaned that out this morning, and it was jam packed full of crud. connected it up and it filled real fast this time around. I used to have one like this years ago, so pretty used to how to load it up properly, wont be bob-loading it for certain.. but sure will bob load the maytag I picked up this afternoon **veg** and yes..I managed to get one finally, and it will go in along side the regency in a cabinet I am building for it so the building wont get choked at me for having a built in machine in the apartment (not allowed to be installed into the cabinets, but no issue if it connects to the sink, strange but true.) so will be adding a new fill solonoid and hoses to be able to make it function properly. Pics will be coming as soon as I get my move in done next week and back on line again ( moving is a right royal pain in the ***)
talk soon
Chris
