I happened to do a "drive by" as I do often past an appliance store in Davenport and found this machine! It is in very nice condition for its age. The date stamp on the side says March 3, 1971. The racks are surprisingly near perfect. I have not run it yet but will soon. I found several pieces of broken glass in the sump area. I also found a drinking glass in the top rack. This isn't the first time that I've found glassware. Why don't people empty out their machine before discarding it???? Anyway, I was reading my manuals last night and it says this model starts with a 10 minute soak period. That is much better than the "heavy soil" button that I have on my KDS-36 model which fills and drains within 2 minutes - washing away any detergent put in the open compartment of the dispenser. I would like to scrub the interior of this tub...it needs a thorough cleaning. Is Soft Scrub safe to use on it? I want something that will clean well but not scratch the porcelain. Enjoy the pics....

What a great find Todd. I love the wood front. How many KA's does that make for you now? | ||

Looks Great!
Nice find, Todd. It's very much on the same order as my 1973 KDS-17 also with a wood grain front. 16 and counting! Pretty soon that basement is going to be wall-to-wall dishwashers. I've been using Bar Keepers Friend for all of my porcelain tub clean up jobs, plus it's good for removing surface rust. Mike | ||

Here are a shot of my KDS 17A
My fancy Bosch dishwahser decided to wash only on the top and not the bottom so while waiting on repair I decided to use my KA in the laundry room. Here are a couple of shots of how I load the bottom to get water to the top. This machine cleans very well as long as the water can get to the top. If I have to put something big on the bottom I am carefull not to put something above it. Actually, stevet, I think this is the rack I bought from you. Remember that?
