OY. That's the portable version of the RotoRack we had at the home in Houston. Bought about 1972 or early 1973. Tis has the smaller timer knob/dial than the lake house version with the big dial. Same models in the line-up (just below the LK), this has separate buttons for normal or sani-rinse. Main buttons are Rinse & Dry, Rinse & Hold, LIght wash, and Normal wash. The GE GSD1200 replaced this dishwasher in fall-1988 because bottom rack had so many rusted away tines Mom couldn't put nearly as much in as she once did. I cried when it left. GIVE ME STRENGTH!!

My aunt had a Lady K dishwasher like this. I remember pushing the shiny buttons and the "shick... shick..." sound they made, followed by the sound of my mom yelling "Stop playing with the dishwasher". |

Other than the color (ours was white) this is the exact dishwasher we had! Got it around Valentine's Day 1972, I believe. Frankly, I wasn't a big fan of the Roto Rack. You may spank me now. And is it just me, or does "Roto Rack" sound like something Scooby Doo or Astro would say? Sure wouldn't mind having this, I tell you. Denver to Baltimore is a little too long of a trip, though. Hmmm. Sure would go nicely with the NIB Avocado Bradford set... veg |

Veg - this is the same d/w we had too! Our first, in white as well. Ours had some issues with the lower wash arm, once in a while it make a revolution around the tub, but it was normally stuck in one place. The timer went out and we replaced it with a Maytag in '81. Everything in the top rack was always clean, but you're right, capacity is somewhat limited with the shape.

Thanks guys - since this was my childhood dishwasher, and brand-spankin' new, I couldn't resist. This should be fairly easy to have a plexiglas door cut for the opening and Robert said he'd come video it for the club - yay! Hahahaha! Don (Jetaction) called and offered his "intervention" services today but since I'm not the only one snapping up green roto-racks on ebay, he's not qualified! Someone help, please! |

I would recommend intensive inpatient therapy. I can arrange for a good facility at a good price. I believe that they use aversion therapy. Just kidding. Congratulations. This was the exact one my folks had in the same color no less!! The panel above the buttons light if I am not mistaken. How many dishwashers do that? Can't wait to see the action. Fred |

Wow.... Portable version of Mom's second machine, bought circa '73/'74. And she got the obligatory frames to hold a set of wood panels over the doors! (very period...it was.) Can't tell on this one, but my mom's had more lights and indicators than a space-ship! Normal cycle: [W-R-R-W-R-R] 8 min. washes & 4 min. rinses + 26 minute dry = ONE HOUR CYCLE! YAY Light wash was [R-W-R-R], but with detergent in the first phase that looks like today's "normal" don't it? |

NOW I undertand why we all seem to have this same affliction this is the universal childhood dishwasher.. LOVE IT ! Hey Greg- I wonder if putting some non-toxic RV (recreational vehicle) anti-freeze in there and letting it sit for a week would potentially lubricate and unfreeze the motor, should it be stuck. (Assuming of course it does not lubricate your garage floor, first!) CLICK HERE TO GO TO toggleswitch's LINK |
