Magic Chef, both...the dw had the eyes on the spray arm...and only one level wash, which made no sense to me .. |

It threw stuff around on the bottom rack, but I don't think it did much on the top..she put all the pots n bowls on the bottom, but pre rinsed everything anyways |

The buttons in the " control center " of this model were labeled RINSE N HOLD, and FULL CYCLE...there may have been a Heat/No heat dry button, but yes, ONE wash arm. The house was built with this in 71 |

When I was going to UT from 1973-1977, there was a very nice apartment complex built around 1970 or 1971 that was a little bit cut above the rest. Initially I was impressed with the fact the Norge branded D&M dishwasher had buttons for Normal as well as Rinse & Hold. Then I opened the door and discovered it was a 1-level wonder. |

Sears stopped producing the roto-rack around the end of 74 - this may be like the model you had

I had the same Lady K in Harvest Gold featured in the ad. It did not offer an air dry, just a heated dry but you could set a timer for 22 minutes on normal wash, hit cancel/drain, spin the roto rack and as soon as the dishes were cooled down you could take them out and put away. I do miss that dishwasher.

Actually the Roto-Rack design originated with AVCO, the predecessor of D&M. It was featured on their Crosley and American Kitchens dishwashers in the early 50's. |

The toaster oven was an awesome little guy, I wish they were still made. The motor on the dw failed in 76, but my step dad replaced it. The seal failed and water got into the bearings. It was still working when the house was sold in 1980. |
