And it was also the model we had that after three years of use the tub rusted out dumping the water into the motor while running. At two years of age the metal strips that outline the front of the machine started to fall off. |

And this would be the best way to keep it, LOL. I already have a NEW unused 1966 LKM 240 volt D&M built DW that will get hooked up at the museum, thanks to Kevin in California, so I don't think I will go for another. By the late 1960s D&Ms already poor quality machines had declined to a point that they were truly disposable machines, I cannot even think of any DW built today that is close to being as unreliable and poorly built as a 70s D&M. The last of the D&M machines when they went to the plastic tanks did improve in quality quite a bit, but by this time they had missed the bus and WCI wisely let what was left of D&Ms go goodby, the last remnants of D&Ms did stay around longer in the 18" design. |
