Wow.
That's a beauty. That's a UM 4. Has The Cast Iron Spray arm (aka Big Blue) and a 3 1/2 minute cycle. Gravity Drain. I love the Old Hobart Logo on the Door. Here on the Cape according to the Local Commercial Repair company I use for my equipment there are still about 3-4 of these still working here on the Cape. | ||

I really can't wait to get this dishwasher in my home....I debating whether I should convert this dishwasher to a KD-10 (I have couple KA at home as parts...) This macine would wash better with more rinses and longer washe time since I don't have a booster heater. Bob | ||

It is amazing ! When you meet and see people who has they same and rare interest that we share here. Well when I got to the airport and went down a long, long corridor and saw Bob it was like seeing a machine rock star! lol... Because if I ever see the rest of the members here as well I'll feel the same. Anyway we had a nice journey to get the dishwasher in Medford N.J. The church was beautiful well kept place never seen nothing like it, the building was log cabin style very different. So we made it back in one piece THE DISHWASHER IS STUNNING what a beauty the 3000 mile trip was not a waste by far. Bob has a talent to behold he tore that machine down in about 20 minutes, this is where you see the passion where you knew he loves his machines, and a talented mechanical engineer that I admire and wish I had the ability to be, Thanks Bob for the experience. And then we got to the packing....Which takes some skill lol, with my best friend Bill, Bob, & me. So we had a nice time we rape it up and did not had much time with my little guy's( me washers ) But i think he liked them, What do you think Bob ? lol Well all was done a little after 2 AM and here we are...Bob's holding the Hobort motor pump. I think where a little tired here but happy. Hey Bob you never told me about about how you liked that Classic Philadelphia Hoagie sandwhich ? All I have to say on Shipping guy's is... GO UPS.

BOB..... I don't know how Darren kept his hands off you...lol...but otherwise...next time we should all get together. Put a huge sign on your front door for these UPS guys, they DON'T knock on purpose, been there done that, I sat in an upstairs window and watched them walk up and put a "sorry we missed you" sign on the door, with out knocking or ring the doorbell, and they claimed they knocked loud, they done this too many times, caught him and gave him hell...... can't wait to see the videos | ||
