A KDI-14 from the early 60’s. Probably a KDI-54 model if it was a portable. Parts are tough to find but I bet you could MacGuyver your way to restoring it to working condition. |

Thanks! It appears to be a KDI-14P. Really appreciate the info. I'm not the handiest, but I'm looking forward to giving it a shot. |

Alex,
If your grandparents lived on the peninsula, that machine could have benefited from a lifetime diet of Hetch Hetchy water. Several years ago I picked up a nice early '90s ISE dishwasher (KitchenAid clone) in Belmont and it was like new inside.
If you're able, please post an interior shot of that sweet series 14 model. It's the last series to have the big cast iron wash arm before Hobart switched to the four-way hydro-sweep type on the 15 series, which is still being used on modern KA dishwashers. |
