Below is a pic of a dishwasher my grandparents had until 1996. As a kid, it amazed me because #1, I grew up in a 50's home and neighborhood where NOBODY had a dishwasher, and #2, the control panel had a dial like that of rotary phone where you would "Dial" in the cycle you wanted to start off with. I have never seen one since, including all of the years I've been lurking on this site. Anybody want to gander a guess? |

money shot, oopsie the silverware rack went front to back! Dual COVERED detergent cup. The machine began with a purge of the hot water line then a rinse........... |

Thanks Steve!!! Their house was built in 1963, so that sounds like the correct time period. It looked so modern that I didn't think it was original with the house. And to think it ran 33 years without a repair! I was very upset when I noticed that older DW was gone during a visit, but I bet parts were impossible to find for it even in 1996! |

Was it R-W-R-W R-R-D? That made a lot more sense than my mother's SEARS Lady Kenmore Roto-Rack of 1968 (By D&M) which was W-R-R-W-R-R-D. |

Funny, but my aunt's kitchen cabinets (Queens NYC,NY) were similar with that bevel; no hardware required. Sorry girls I'm rambling! |

The latch made for a fabulous towel (drying) rack too. |
