IIRC there were two or three panels of various colors in the kits. For an 18 series, I would guess that white, gold, and avocado were included. I can't recall if the panels were two-sided or not. If so, then coppertone could have been in there as well. Stainless would have required a separate purchase. |

This 18-series brochure alludes that each panel kit is a separate color choice.

What I'm confused about is John's mention above that series 18 through 22 use the same flat panels. I thought the flat panels didn't show up until the 20 series. My statement about multiple panel options applies to the flat panel system, where they were stacked together and slid in from the side, allowing the owner to easily switch them out as kitchen decor and/or appliance color schemes changed.
Pictures I've pulled up show the 18 series with wrap-around panels (as shown here) and no stainless trim. So which is it?

Regardless of what color the panels are, they can easily be refinished in any color by an auto body shop. My friend Brenda C. had hers sprayed to match their cabinets. |

A fellow member, whom I will defer to them if they choose to identify themselves, has made an offer that has been accepted. If anything changes, I will post on this thread. Thanks to all for their interest and other members who have made offers as well. John |

Congratulations Robert what a great score.
I would give the machine a quick inspection when installing it to see if anything is missing, broken, disconnected etc. there is unlikely to be an deterioration of hoses seals etc to worry about, just hook it up and be sure that there is at least a quart of water in the sump when you first turn it on so the main seal is wet.
I would experiment with different detergents. Take into account how hard [ or soft ] your water is and how hot it is as well.
In order to preserve this great DW and get clean dishes out of it use the least aggressive detergents needed to do the job and the lowest incoming water temperature. Water temps of 120-130 should work well, never over 140. Also the new detergent pods can work very well in vintage DWs and are a lot less damaging to the machine than old fashioned phosphated detergents like Cascade boil out.
Keep us posted when you start using this DW.
