Thanks for the tips! The bakelite impeller seems to be in very good shape and spins freely on both units. So hopefully I will be able to get one running and have parts from the other one to keep it running! | ||

KitchenAid??? They may have looked similar in front design if not distant mirror images but not quite the same! Couldn't resist! Does that mean I have to duck and run now? | ||

I am eager... to see how this restoration goes. Please post pics as you go through the process.
I have always wished one of these would come available in my area and to date non have. I think I would keep the model with the racks that roll out separately if that's an option. That whole lifting out the top rack to get to the bottom seems like it would be a real PIA.
Didn't these machine get a decent Consumer Reports rating in their day? | ||

Another check item
When you're confident that it all looks and works as it should, test it hooked up to water over a few cycles to be sure the fill inlet at the top of the tank doesn't have any lime on the end of the nozzle where it sprays behind the spinning disc. If it does, it can fill the impression at the top of the tank with water due to spittering--annoying for you and your cabinetry. :-)
