Round upper rack Is this what I've heard referred to as a "roto-rack"? Does it spin around while washing? If so, how do you keep things like glasses from breaking?

Yes, that's a Roto Rack. It does spin. I've seen one, and I recall there was fixed tube under the top rack. That tube sprays water, which washes the top rack, and also causes it to spin.
I don't know how well it washes the top rack, vs a fixed rack/moving spray arm. But it's certainly more fun than that! | ||

hey 1972lkdishwash
i have a lady kenmore front loader similiar to the one you are asking about, also have an earlier top loader model too. i have rebuilt both machines and motors are still out there, just bought one from "modern parts house" in parma ohio a few months ago.
the actual pump seal itself is available on e bay right now for $2.99 each, i have bought about 6 of em over the past year. the guy seems to have a ton of them. the motor is seperate from the pump which has a lower housing for the drain pump and an upper pump housing for the spray arm pump. these parts are also out there still. the machine is far from finished. if you want to repair it it is not difficult. you can always e mail me directly and i can help you. i may take a bit to reply but i will get back to you. i use my top loader all the time and love it. the front loader is just part of my collection. oh yea, it is a d&m machine. hope that helps pete | ||

1972lkdishwash--I don't know much about restoring older Kenmore dishwashers. But--as a general rule--I wouldn't pay much attention to repairmen saying: "It can't be repaired!" Maybe they are right sometimes. But other times it's some other factor, like their parts supply channel being limited to only newer machines. There are probably countless stories people on this site could tell about an appliance that needed some part that was discontinued 30 years ago, and yet managed to either find that part or a suitable equivalent.
