Is this a GE? I'm assuming from the location of the dial. But the aqua is great...

GEs FIRST WASH ARM MACHINES
GE only made this wash arm and pump motor design machine four a little over four years. It was a miscible performer leaving little bits of food everywhere its probably responsible for millions of people thinking the only way to use a dishwasher is to pre-rinse everything. But to GEs credit they sold millions of these to builders, and as they usually didn't last much more than ten years before they developed major rust problems. So millions of consumers went on to buy new KAs WPs MTs HPs and WKs any thing that didn't have a plastic coated steel tub that may rust out again. GE helped make the built in DW almost universal in American kitchens today by pushing builders to put these in there new homes and apartments. GE went on to make some pretty good performing DWs, the 1967 and on machines cleaned much better but still had major rust problems. But by the early 1980s when the all plastic tanks came into use and they added the multi-orbit wash arm and a food filter they finely had a top rated machine that had a fairly long potential life. The old GE for sale is a cool piece of history just the same, however to still be around its owner didn't get into using dishwashers.

GE
My family had friends in Long Island that had a machine like this one. Couldn't judge cleaning performance because she practically washed everything before loading. We also had cousions in Silverspring MD and in the early 60's we went to visit and they had a GE rollout with a pink tub. I think it was the one with the boe tie wash arm but not sure. I wish they still made full size roll outs today.

Of course there is no mention that these builder's-grade GE's sounded like a circular saw in the kitchen. Hopefully the family room was on the other side of the house. Florida's mid/late 60's building boom saw thousands of these BOL GE's installed. I think ALL apartments had them. | ||

Wow
This has brought back memories! My grandparents had this same dishwasher at their ranch and it just died only a year ago. We also had this dishwasher at the house I grew up in as a small child and my parents built the house in 1962. It was very loud is what I remember and when we moved in 1973 my parents bought a Kitchen Aid because my mother always thought the GE did not get the dishes clean enough!
