Wow! This is a neat-looking machine! No price--just best offer, but what a cool machine. Beautiful old Roto-Rack.

Wowza. Wonder if the detergent dispenser still works? I noticed it's a different design from the later plastic-swing models.

Those are very unique cycle buttons. I've nevfer seen a kenmore like this at all. It kind of reminds me of a lower-end version of the 220V LK Rotorack kevin got with the Bendix pair. I base that comment on the door handle plus the shallow blue rotorack.

I bet the rest of that kitchen is pretty cool. What a shame!

1966 KM SIX HUNDRED DISHWASHER

This is the exact model KM DW we got in the fall of 1966 when my parents had Sears remodel our kitchen. The interior is identical to the 240 volt LKM DW that Kevin got a few months ago witch is way I decided to buy the machine from him, it just brought back so many memories. On this model the pink button gave you a 145F second wash and last rinse this machine is 120 volt with a 1000 watt heater Kevin's LKM has a 2800 watt element @ 230 volts. The LKM DW will not be put into ever day use but will be hooked up at the museum where people can see it work and even run dirty dishes through it.

What a beauty!
Does not seem to have seen much use.
The porcelain just shines like new from what I can tell by the pictures.
Cool find.

Yeah, it'll go so well with all those harvest gold Maytags you have stuffed in the bathroom for lack of room elsewhere...

Very cool dishwasher, but I imagine the rest of the house is FAB! Glass block behind the toilet? What a novel idea! Only in CA though....

Oh, that IS awesome. That's almost one of those rooms of gorgeous impracticality, like some of the laundry rooms you see on the promotional brochures.

What, you don't have exhibitionists in Iowa? :-D

Great for the "green" tree-hugging owner to save water.

No one will be able to tell if #1 has been performed.

Wow, that comment conjured up a flash back from '86-'92 during the drought years here.

These are D&M built machines based on the then current "410" model IIRC.
