Interesting 50's kitchen set, and look, there's a sprayer too. Is anyone familiar with the company that produced the cabinetry, or who the dishwasher manufacture was farmed out to?

looks exactly like the modern maid impeller dishwasher i have. only mine has blue racks! so close too, indiana is a hop skip and jump. but no room for me to take it. Mike (dishwasher crazy) are you there, you love electric sink combos. this would be perfect for you. i'm gonna e mail you about this now. |

I grew up with an impeller dishwasher, have been using a GE Mobile Maid impeller model, and have that 56 GE pull-out impeller installed as the 'daily driver' and honestly, I think they do a fine job! You do have to be careful about loading and you can't really expect them to 'scrub' baked on food from casserole dishes, but they are not as bad as you think. Good luck with the auction!!! |

Now now, no need to get into a bidding war. SOMEONE here had better get it, come heck or high water. Wes won't get home from work until after 9:00 tonight EST. I'll let him know to email Dishwashercrazy. Then you two can work something out so you aren't artificially driving up the price. I've never seen a Roto-Rack or an impeller dishwasher in person before, Dave Personally, I wouldn't mind a Kitchenaid KD-12. |

The American Kitchens was the BEST impeller dishwasher for cleaning,even better than the Hotpoints due to the upper rack rotating to make sure not a dish was missed. |

i did not realize you had bid on it when i said that to mike. usually we all say "oh i must have that" but we don't obviously you said "i must have that" and you did! maybe you and mike could split ownership, one of you take it during the summer months, the other one at winter! good luck to both of you, someone needs to grab it. and when you get it if it needs an impeller i just bought a couple this year so i think i know where to get them. it's a d&m machine, very easy to work on, i rebuilt mine this past summer. |

MANY THANKS GO TO Wes (elginkid) who was the sole bidder for the American Kitchens set of cabinets and Electric Sink located west of Indianapolis. After the above postings, he and I emailed back and forth, and spoke by phone. He has graciously allowed me to add this Electric Sink to my growing collection. I'll also have the cabinets to go along with the sink. I hope to make the drive to pick everything up yet this week. Mike |

Congrats Mike, I'm sure you will have everything cleaned up in no time. I love the color of the racks, quite different. |

I was going to drive over and pick it up tomorrow (Friday), but with more threats of snow across the mid-west, I called the seller this morning and delayed pickup until Monday or Tuesday next week. Thanks everyone for your comments. I'm excited to add this electric sink to the collection. I already have a brand new D&M Bakelite impeller just in case the one on this machine is chipped. Mike |

Mike, I'm glad it worked out for you to get this machine. A friend when I was a kid lived in a house with the American Kitchens cabinets, but no dishwasher. |
