Chachp:

I had to have it shipping from MASS to florida. So, I don't know if "come my way" is totally appropriate. But I will say it was worth every penny.

Awesome!

Very happy for you. Looks almost like new!

I wish top loading dishwashers were still made.


Please, please try to take a close up, or closER up shot of the controls.

This must be the summer of top loading dishwashers!

Congratulations, it's a beautiful and unique machine.

Sweeet!

Is there perhaps a LIGHT behind the lens below the control panel??

IIRC, the 2-speed feature does not involve a true 2-speed motor .. but rather works by using a half-fill and/or aerating the spray.

Hey Robert, that dishwasher is fabulous! Congrats, I love how the control panel and dial looks a bit like Whirlpool washers or that era!

At first glance, I thought it was one of those lil' mini washers, like a Sanyo or something.

Sure is a sweet machine! Use it in good health!

that's a great machine

It's my daily driver and I love mine. Too bad that timer dial is cracked, but yours has the lighted control panel, and mine does not.

Be careful not to put spray cleaner on the control panel or it will have a tendency to rub off when you wipe it.

Be sure to fill the rinse agent dispenser located in the upper left rear corner of the tank.

Very cool dishwasher, indeed.

Wow, that's fantastic!! I'm going to check out the local shops and see what they might have. Now that I have a vehicle made for hauling. Congratulations, Robert!

Thanks all -- Like I said I will take more pics this weekend with it loaded. My "in-laws" will be here so I'm sure it will get a work out. I am finding it hard to use my Bosch in the kitchen. I'm always wanting to use the Whirlpool. But, I guess I will adjust. DADoES, yes that is a light below the control panel. In the new pics I'll make sure it's lighted up for you. Still very excited here, I always thought that toploading dishwashers were so cool and practical. Thanks again all

My wife and I had the same machine in avocado way back before disco. We loved it and I agree with another comment on here that I wish top loading dishwashers were still available. With the upper rack that opens with the lid, loading was a breeze and the machine did an outstanding job.

square boxy thing

That's where the water inlet comes through and the steam escapes out.
