Yes,  it's gotta go...  I have one MobileMaid too many and this is the one, alas...  

 

It's a model 1SP43S1 - that dates it to 1960.  It is working but has been seriously bojacked...  The last person who owned it installed it in a rental unit and did some creative plumbing to make it a 'stand-alone'.  There is damage to the cabinet because of this and their hookup leaked so the machine was not used while the tenants were there.  

 

I have some personal history with the machine - back in 2010, I was contacted by someone in Montreal who wanted to know if I could repair her grandmother's GE dishwasher.  Well, this was the machine - it was leaking around the motor coupling area.  I fixed this with some POR15 and high-heat silicone (you'll see that red ring in the tub bottom).  I managed to re-glue the detergent dispenser which had been cracked and got it working correctly, but the tenants who used this managed to break it again.  I think it could be fixed. 

 

Now, here's the condition:  the interested party must take the whole machine.  I will do what I can to help get this shipped - I do have access to a freight company just over the border in Derby Line (Norman G Jensen).  If not, I'll keep it and part it out in case one of my MobileMaids needs a parts transplant.

 

I have already tried to contact a member of the group, mikepaquette, who had expressed an interest in having one of these machines, but I have not received any reply.  IF he surfaces, I would give him priority on this machine. 

 

Geez, I've become a cranky old geezer since I retired, haven't I?    And whoever said 'become?', watch it... LOL

Date error - my bad....

I double-checked my GE 'decoding' table and it turns out this dishwasher is in fact a 1959 model.   I foolishly assumed that 'Q' would be the letter code for the 1959 model year - 'S' is the correct letter.

 

Sorry for the confusion!

It's a good thing we're not playing "Monopoly - the Appliance Version"; otherwise, not only would have to go to jail without passing "GO" and without collecting $200, BUT you would also have to forfeit your 1963 GE laundry pair....

'Monopoly - The Appliance Version' - I like the sound of that!  Instead of houses and hotels you could put appliance retailers or manufacturers and 'rents' would charged according to how high or low-end the appliance line was...  Oh yeah, I have too much time on my hands... LOL

She's not that active on the board these days, but Julie (pinkgurl) from Brownsburg (where Chris and I used to have a house each) is claiming the Mobile Maid!  

 

She's in an apartment with a dishwasher cut-out but no dishwasher; the MobileMaid will fit in there nicely and she won't have the installation hassles now or if she moves. 

 

I am so pleased!!

Congrats, Julie, this is a neat looking washer; I don't know all the Mobile Maid models and features, but I like that dial selector.

Maybe Launderes would be interested in the racks, though they are pink, hers is blue....
