Free coppertone mystery appliances NYC

Good job getting the extra pics! :-)

I found a portable version of this dishwasher at a thrift store, also coppertone many years ago. It was a really good cleaning machine and seemed to have been hardly used. It was a steal at only $4.96. I gave it to some friends of mine who used in a second floor apartment. Shortly after they started using it, a puddle appeared on the floor after every cycle. We traced it to a rust hole at one of the upper rack supports on the tank wall. A few months later, another leak. Then another and another and another. Always from those top supports. Once they had been compromised enough with rust, the weight of the rack would wiggle loose any sealant we tried. It would work for a little while, then more drips and sometimes a steady stream. They nicknamed it Leaky Lucy and threatened to pitch her off the balcony more than a few times. Finally, we found them a nice plastic tub GE something and no more wet floors from tank leaks.

Lucy never had trouble getting anything put into her clean, it was outstanding at that function, but her incontinence was just unbearable.

Checkrate/Likes GE - probably mid-late 60s. The oven's a self-cleaner - bonus!

Checkrate/Likes *WP DW* Would that be an impeller machine?

Checkrate/Likes *WP Dishwasher* I doubt this would be an impeller machine. I wonder if it's a 'one-arm wonder' or if it has the arm & tower to feed an upper wash arm.
