As I was scanning, I knew you would be crazy over this Older Machines.
There are soooooo many details about how these machines evolved. But I will always say, " This was back in the day when America stood for quality." Look at the Pride and Skill of Every Part that was Turned or Manufactured. The specification Sheets stated the Quality of each machine and Hobart was Proud. I had a recent LX Glass waher break down, and it was probably a Timer Board. Years ago, it would be a buss fuse or a poorly maintained machine. SIGH!!!!!!!! | ||

What's curious is that I have never been "IN" a commercial kitchen yet I recognize all but the biggest Hobarts on sight. | ||

All the newer machines have the electronics and cheap China-made parts that break down on a regular basis. At least you have a Hobart LXG and not a Canadian Disaster built to break Moyer Diebel POS carousel glasswasher behind the bar. That damn thing does 1/10'th the work the Hobart AM-14 does and shits a brick 10x as often.
As far as old Hobart DW's I have experienced a KDS-15, AM-9-T2, WM-5H, AM-11, AM-12, CM-2, C-44, KDI-20 and KDP-20. For the modern Hobarts I've worked with the C-44A, Am-14, FT-820 KDS-21 and LX-30 All were great. I will take exception on the made for Ecolab/Ecotemp ET-20 and ET-40, While better than an Auto-Chlor or Jackson they did not perform to the usual Hobart washing standards. I have also used older Blakeslee, Champion, Vulcan, and ADS DW's. Nick WK78 | ||

You know I thought of them the other day as I never see or hear of them anymore. They did a OK job though. I Googled them the other day and they still are in business.
The old Round Jacksons were a surprising performer to me. You could beat the crap out of them and they would still keep working. I had the pleasure of working with a ToastMaster Door type machine. Stationary Spray Arms above and below yielded poor results constantly but still OK. In the 3 years that machine was in my kitchen, it never broke down. | ||

 Eddie that is some really nice literiture !
And thanks for posting and patience it took. When I was in a boys group for young teens for the summer my mom put me in. They had a large kitchen with a single rack model with those HEFTY BEEFY wash arms. Everyone would leave after lunch and I of course stayed around and watch Mr Hollopa run the machine. He would start it and open it up real quick for me to see the action ...WELL HE GOT BLASTED AS WELL AS I AND THE FLOOR LOL. I would help him mop it up ,,Boy thats a power house of a machine.

 Thanks so much for these scans! What history!
The elementary school that I went to had the AM-6 model with Gas Burner to heat the water. It is wild to read that it was "unregulated". Kind of scary. They would let us kids help in the kitchen after meals to clean up. Luckily no one wanted to work the Hobart! I got to use it everyday! I would love to go back in time just for one day and use it again. Also...look how giant the electric motors were! HUGE! Thanks again for the scans! Brent | ||

Older Version of the AM Series.
The doors opened at the same time due to a weight, chain, and pulley system inside the chamber.
