I am about to purchase a Hobart Kitchenid a 1960 model. Can anyone tell me if it washes well and if I can find parts? What should I pay for it? | ||

i have 2 kd-12's 
a kd-14 and a kdp-2. i have paid 200 max for them, several i got for 100 bucks.
last time i checked with hobart (about 2 months ago) there were 2 seals left (pump seals) in the entire hobart inventory across country. i bought 2 myself prior to that and they were around 40 bucks each if i remember correctly. i will say that all 4 of my machines run fine and do not leak so i have not had to use these seals yet. isn't it funny that a 50 year old kitchenaid will not leak a drop yet the new one's develop seal leaks after 4 or 5 years! my one kd-12 i use as a semi regular machine for small and "easy" loads. it does a great job! has one wash, 2 rinses. i would not use these machines myself for big and heavy loads, i use mine for cups, glasses and plates. the other 3 i am not using at all, just adding them to the collection. mainly due that parts are pretty much non existent these days. but my one kd-12 is so much fun to use i have it installed under the counter. they are easy to work on and restore and definately a trip down memory lane, at least for me! any questions you can contact me at soberleaf@yahoo.com although my computer is completely down and i only have access to this site and my e mail about once a week at the present time. gonna get a new computer here soon. have fun with it! | ||

Hobart Kitchenaid Thanks guys for the info. Peter suggested a price I can start with. He will also give me info on seals. Any other websites offering parts like motor etc... will be really appreciated. I am new to all this. | ||

Hobart Kitchenaid I meant to say the door can be opened by rotating the horizontal handle counterclockwise. | ||

Sounds like a KDS14 Now lets see some pics of this classic machine. Too bad it is all obsolete and you are basically at the mercy of the collectors here which can be a good thing and maybe finding another donor unit of the same vintage or older from which you can get many similar parts that will work in your machine. | ||
