Racks are rusty and it looks like the wash arm support is missing?

Ack!
The opening bid is absurd, but how I would love to find one of these at a reasonable price, to use its front panels and control panels on my KDS-55, the portable/convertible version of the 15 series.
My KDS-55 has the later, Ye Olde Fayke Woode Graine control panel on it, and I hugely prefer the earlier, Antique Gold panel *. Stainless front panels weren't a catalogued option for portable/convertible machines, but KitchenAid always stood quietly ready to give you what you wanted, regular production option or no. Sigh. * The Antique Gold panels seem to have turned pink over the years, but the magnificent 15-series KitchenAid brochure available through Automatic Ephemera (shameless plug!) shows them in all their brand-new golden glory.

Yes, the wash arm support has issues. You can see the pin seated in the wash-arm photo, but the pin and the metal bearing are missing on the second photo. I’ve seen this often were it pulls right out of the bakelite base. Unfortunately the 15 wash arm supports are different from the 16/17 supports and are hard to come by – which this machine would need in order to be an effective dishwasher again.
This machine appears to have been well used. It might be good for parts and ephemera (but at a much lower price!) | ||
