Can you still read the button for full cycle? The blower housing sure shows little use, if any!

Very, very nice 15. Love the styling!

that's gotta be a superba! neither of mine have the 4 buttons!
what a great find! i gotta start checkin the "habitat" stores here in cinti.

dec 64 sounds right to me! that was hobart's first model that used the "new" 4 way hydrosweep and restyled pump and 1/2 hp motor! it was a 'cadillac' of dishwashers in it's day!

if you ever decide to sell please contact me, i'd love a superba kd-15 in my collection!

you can still get some parts out there but i doubt you will need anything. it looks in great shape and probably doesn't leak a drop!

love it!

Very nice find!

That's a beautiful machine to be over 45 yrs. old. I see a lot of similarities between it and the KDI 16 I had (now living with Pete), especially the interior. Outside of course had a different control panel, and timer no longer in lower panel, but otherwise much alike. Know you'll enjoy it.

It looks like it's in great shape. That lidded basket in the top rack is a handy feature.

Wow! Beautiful Machine!

I wish the KD-10 I got this week looked that flawless. At least you won't have to dig out the icky stuff I did. LOL.
Only $12??? Amazing. Congrats and I hope you get years of happy use from it.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet KDS!!!!!

I scored a KDC-21 at the Habitat store in B'ham. Great place to find older appliances, especially if you need racks for your dishwashers.

Congrats on that beauty. Isn't it great finding these gems that have little use and low mileage?

Great Find! It looks to be in fantastic shape!
You will love it's no nonsense washing!
