Picked up a portable KD-57 Imperial just a few blocks away last week, making this our 3rd KA 17th series d/w. I'm obsessed with these 17s: love the build quality, fast wash, simplicity, mechanical everything, the loud whoooshing, yada yada. If nothing else we'll have spare parts galore. Has the butcher block top, it didn't look this good, but wasn't bad, mostly dirty, so we just sanded it and put on a few fresh coats of flat poly. She's rust free all around, inside & out, and looks lightly used by the late '80s previous owner lady. It was missing it's lower rack, proably why the price went down as far as $20, so the one in the pics was scrounged from our Harvest Gold KDC-17. The lower rack in our KD-67 Deluxe portable is a worn and rusting, so now we need TWO lower racks!
Sea Trials to begin soon! |

Perhaps the PO took the rack with her - compliments are always nice, even if your nice rack is from a dishwasher!
How does the later style racks work with the 17 series machines? I've never tried this but if the plates roll under the top rack, it's all good.
I have the 16 and 18 series Superba portable machines, now would like to find a 17 Superba to round up the group. Not that I need one, I have enough machines and spare parts to last my lifetime and perhaps, another but it had better come in harvest gold *hand to forehead* as that's what the others are!
