What's wrong with it, why do you need to replace it?

....A 1970s KitchenAid, which will, after some attention to wearing parts, outperform and outlast anything you can buy new.

why?

Like Bob said, Tony. Why do you need to replace it? GE Tower Wash DW are, in general, exceedingly easy to repair. Can you tell us what's wrong?

I would recommend a lightly-used Kenmore standard tub Ultra-Wash or Whirlpool Powerclean (basically the same machine). They stopped making these about 2 years ago but I have bought 3 of them for friends and family off of Craigs List in the last few months. I have personally owned two of these machines since 1997. The first one is still going strong in my brother's house and the second I have had for 10 years. They are one of the best dishwashers EVER produced in the American market.

I second looking for a lightly-used standard-tub Kenmore Ultra-Wash or Whirlpool Powerclean. The vinyl-covered racks were a weak spot on our first Kenmore, but the one we currently have came with nylon-covered racks, which I'm hoping will last longer.

A vintage Kitchenaid by Hobart or Whirlpool

Would be a great replacement. If you can't find one of those machines look for any standard tub WP/KM machine with the Powerclean/Ultrawash power unit. Another good replacement would be a Maytag Intelliclean standard tub DW. Avoid many modern DW's as they wash anemically for 3 hours with a teaspoon of piss warm water and don't clean anything. These sorry excuses for a DW rinse even worse and leave soapy, gritty film on your dishes. Most of them also shit the bricks after 2 years or less.
