Jed...
How many machines have you restored on your own so far ? Most of the machines we all get are generally rough on the outside, but some are really good on the inside. You know there is something when your gut tells you that this machine is going to be fine. And then again there is something that tells you to stay away. That's how I felt about the Uni you bought for $1,000. I found your post about my finding very offensive when you said "I only drive cross country for "really special machines". You know we all have our passions about certain makes, types and brands. You don't know what it's like when I got my 1957 KD2-P when I had to spend $250.00 for one of the last 2 Brand New Cast Iron Drain Valves from Hobart that was left in the world just to make this machine run and be PERFECT. And if it wasn't for stevet, I probably would have had to scrap the machine I hope you realize how fortunate you are to have Robert so close to you and take you under his wing.I feel very fortunate that I have John (Coldspot66)and Steve(stevet)the Hobart man from the club that I've never met. And they have helped me through e-mails and phone calls. I'm almost coming up on my one year anniversary with AW.org and I've met alot of Great People and have collected in almost one year 7 Dishwashers and 3 Washers. So please be considerate how you "judge" other members findings. Look at the Monkey Ward Thread. Rick really worked hard on that machine. And it turned out to be a beauty. So please think twice about what you are going to post. Thanks, Eddie. I think you should be considerate about other people's passions about their machines. | ||

Check your email If you have a gripe like this, I believe it should be taken off the site. I ask if anyone else wants to comment, do the same. This thread is about your KA and nothing else. | ||

Not quite for life! The motors came with a five year limited warranty. However, we all know most of them ran forever anyway! Only thing that really killed them was if the shaft seal leaked! | ||

Really,
Hi Steve. I don't think I'm going to get back to her for a few days. As I said, the impeller turns freely, The dry motor turns as well, does she need a soaking with hot water first, or do you think I should just go for it ???? You're the man. I am listening to "La Regina" right now . That Regency I have been using it as the Daily Driver since I got her. I really don't care for the 20 too much. I like the way she cleans, but I much rather have the start and go like the 18. I want to get the 18 on line as soon as I can have the time to replace the detergent dispensor and figure out what else is wrong with her. Man , I miss that one. But the Regency is doing a fantastic job, As I cook for myself everynight, I always manage to fill her up and run her. Great Machine. Really splashes that water around. The Superba should be running next week, (KDS 55) We're supposed to get rain the next 3 days, so I hope I have time to water test her in the Garage. | ||
