So glad you found a dream machine on your fishing expedition! Looks like ya'll had a great visit. Now, its time to start trolling the old appliance parts stores to see if you can catch any fish there. Who knows, you might just catch a brand new impeller. | ||

OMG That Modern Maid is to die for! The house I grew up in had Modern Maid appliaces, wall oven and gas cooktop, in copper. They were beautiful in that tiny kitchen. That KM dryer was awesome too! The matching washer had a Vari-Flex agitator.

Love that Modern Maid and Frigidaire
Pete, So glad you have been able to add this first Impeller dishwasher to your collection. You will really have fun with it. Amazing to me that the impeller turns the roto-rack. New impellers will be hard to find. The rotation is the same as the G.E. and Hotpoint impellers, but I have no idea if they are interchangeable with the Modern Maid or other D&M machines. Personally, I would not attempt gluing a chip back onto an impeller, because later it could come unglued and do more damage in the process. Best look for a replacement. When you get that impeller off, show us a picture looking up inside the impeller so that we can see the mounting method that was used. The GE uses a flat surface for engagement with the motor shaft. And that slant-top Frigidaire dishwasher is so cool. There was one on Craigslist in the Denver area a few months ago which I would really have liked to get. Alas - it's gone now. Again, congratulations on your wonderful haul. Mike

Dial in window I like that dial-in-window stuff. That would allow larger print for older folks, too. I'm surprised it didn't catch on. It appears they had the material choices correct-neither of the pictured machines looks yellow or opaque. | ||

Pete...
What a great trip and haul you made. I had no idea that 'everythingold' had so much inventory. That is really cool that you got so many dream machines. Of course I'm very partial to the 65 Frigidaire washer. I grew up with that same model in coppertone and that is what led me to this site years ago and the rest is history. I also have a similar dishwasher to the Frigidaire flip top that you got. It's a fun machine. I'll attach an ad for it. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more. Patrick

Thank You Pete
It was so nice to have a visitor! It gets lonely up here in the arctic. My wife loves guests, and bought everything she could think of for Pete, except his other addiction: Pepsi. Irony Abounds! Pete took the better part of three years of collecting. And he promised that he would build a Museum! I can't wait to see it. The only machine that was hard to let go was the Kelvinator. Even though it is a D&M, Kelvinator is from Grand Rapids Michigan. Thanks again Pete. These beauties are in good hands. godspeed. matt | ||
