top roto rack looks great!!! it's one of my favorite designs!!! love listening to it spin during wash as they usually squeak a bit as they turn.

gasket that goes in tub will be replaced. if i can't get a new one i will make my own. you can buy rubber to make them at auto parts stores or home depot.

i remember that plastic baffle with the holes in it from the d&m modern maid machines i used to look at as a teen. but i never knew what the purpose of it was. i assumed it was decorative only. if anyone knows, please let me know

the tub is dirty and the sump looks all rusted, but it is very light actually. a lot of rust stains but the metal itself is still quite good!

a better view. i'm going to clean it up and wire brush the rust and paint it with rustoleum primer and then a couple coats of rustoleum paint. that should do the trick.

a bit rusty but what the heck! it's prob 35 years old! and a wire brush on the drill will really help.

Pete, I'm sure you will have her running as good as new. I've never seen a dishwasher like that until I joined AW. This would be a great machine to have a window in the door to watch the rack turn. Best of luck on the restore. Jim | ||

Nice to see. My aunt used Rinse&Dry on her LK because she insed everything before loading lol. I think we used it a couple of times to wash dusty things. Someone pushed all the tines in the top rack to toward the center, I can't imagine why. But that really messes up the loading pattern up there with them tilted so much. They should be standing up straight.
