From what I could find out, the Electra-Matic range is a Wedgewood product.

CircleW - Hi Tom...did you by any chance see a year or estimate when these were "born" - thanks for the research, they look like a good quality to me.

Sorry, Phil, didn't get any other info. I would say judging by the style that they are mid to late 60's.

That's a 1962-1964 TOL Waste King dishwasher.

Yes, I am indeed up to my overalls in dishwashers. ;-) LOL

This is a fun machine, and the older designs differed from the later Thermador models upon which I'd riffed. (Twice.)

I have a Maytag Jetclean going now, and life free of tiny yibblets has never been better. It's great to open the door, and realize that not only is the baking dish clean, but the food soil from it is also not sprayed inside and over the glasses in the top rack.

Ahh The Joys Of Being Yibblet Free

Wonderful isn't it?

One thing have to say about the MM is the thing does not play around cleaning wise. Unlike the D&M Frigidaire/Kenmore 18" DW it replaced am that please with how clean and yibblet free my dishes emerge. That other unit would leave anything in the upper rack, especially glassware loaded into corners, covered in gunk inside and out.

Truly!

It is, Launderess, it is!! :-D

Roger and I talked about the Mobile Maids (he had one prior to becoming KitchenAid-monogamous), and how they managed--somehow--to clean beautifully sans-filter.

Enjoy yours in good health--I love those machines! That was my first dishwasher experience as a child--my grandmother had a '67 that preceded the '83 D&M Kenmore.
