Hi everyone,
I'm trying to revive the very handsome and otherwise-in-nice-condition Chambers D&M dishwasher, but I need a replacement top rack--this one is shot beyond belief. I've attached pics of what the roller mounts look like, and the shape/size of the rollers; I know D&M was all over the board in how those were configured. Or if you can sell me a set of tank rollers and rails that match whatever you have, that may well work too. This is on a dual-wash-arm machine, no tower, no top constant rinse, with the Westinghousian top rack (shown). The holes in the middle of the rollers are larger than they should be; I've been trying to engineer a replacement if an original or fit can't be found. Thank you in advance for your time and help--I'm really looking forward to getting this gem back up and going.

If you want to convert it to a roto-rack..... | ||

Wow
That might be a really fun project--this one has the standard 45 degree-angle feed tube off the back wall like the rest, so I think it might work; I think the mounting plate for the back would need to be swapped out from the metal one for the wash arm to one that just had a mounting spot for the feed tube--then I could remove and fill the tank rollers and drill new holes in the top for the rack and hanger-glide assembly.
That's a great idea--if the standard rack is a bust and engineering is required, that might be a really fun way to go. I'll check back in with you--thanks so much, Mark! | ||

Question.......
Why would you NEED to remove the upper spray arm to install the stationary spray tube, except for possible clearance issues between the bottom of the rack / spray arm?
Yes it may be counter-productive to have both a rotating spray arm AND a rotating upper rack, but I thought I would pose the question to the experts.
