Your dishwasher dates back to the early/mid 1980's.
If the people you got it from were using it without any trouble, I think a visual inspection could be all that's required. If you see no evidence of leaks or deteriorated hoses, install the machine and start enjoying the last of the true Hobart-made KitchenAids.

Thanks Ralph! When did Hobart stopped making them? I saw where you also collect phones, I do as well. I have seven plugged in right now and only one is touch-tone! |

Rick,
The transition to Whirlpool happened during the series 21 production run sometime after the mid-80's.
Regarding phones, you have me beat! I currently have only four vintage sets connected. I had to disable the ringers on a couple of them in order to provide enough voltage for my external chime box to work properly. I have one touch-tone connected in the breakfast room. It's a wall-mounted 80's Trimline knock-off that has a mechanical ringer. |
