On SF Bay Area CL.

 

Pricey, but it appears to have had little or no use.

Pricey

it's funny -I posted this first, then someone else , and now a third appearance.

With so much exposure,too bad the seller doesn't see the "pricey" comments we've all posted.

LOL Phil!  I missed your original post and was wondering why this one had flown under your precision radar!

 

It's too expensive unless you're a collector who needs to have one in every color.  From what I've been told and read here, the spin tube system leaves much to be desired as far as cleaning dishes is concerned.

Spin tube - is that the tube that is tapered and rises above the lower racks? It's a great looking dishwasher, but as you said, Ralph, deep-pocket, just gotta have it at whatever costs buyers only.

I had a turquoise Custom Imperial, and it washed beautifully--pots, pans, and all. It had a covered detergent dispenser, and two washes. The key to success was HOT water, and following the loading guide, conveniently glazed into the door.

Two down-sides: Plates larger than nine inches clip the bottom of the top rack, and that top rack--with everything needing to be canted toward the spin-tube--filled up far more quickly than the bottom rack did.

Phil, the spin tube is that black thing that the cut-out in the upper rack is designed to accommodate.

 

It serves the same purpose as an upper wash arm, but in an entirely different way.

 

Nate, correct me if I'm wrong, or feel free to elaborate.

So, has anyone made a run for this??  I really wanted a turquoise one, but pink could be fun...

You're right

It's THE wash arm in the machine; everything in the bottom rack must also be hit by the whirling tube, or it doesn't get clean. You position fry pans and pots sideways to accomplish this, and astonishingly, it does work.

There is a constant rinse on the top of the tank (or was on mine), which helped. The only thing in the bottom is the floating spring-loaded filter module over the sump intake. (A cute self-cleaning filter contraption, which works well if you don't overload it with food chunks.)

Frigidaires move TONS of water with a monster impeller in the pump--the tube to carry water to the spin-tube is huge as well. When they drain, they can fill the sink or disposer very quickly. They're a lot of fun, and I love the way they sound like a steady rain-shower when they run.

I talked to the man about it. He says that he has never seen it used it was his grandfathers or something like that. Whom had a habbit of collecting things. And it has been sitting in his garage for 45 or so years. Anyhow I was trying to arrange transport for it from the west back to the east. But it was going to be to pricey. Also read some on it and others mentioned it dosent clean so well. I would never hear the end of that from the wife. She deals with the old fridge and double oven... So I never asked if he would come down on his pricing. But if anyone wants his number I have it.
