What a great find! Finding a new toy for free is so much more fun than buying something.
I think a top spray arm (or nozzle) is only necessary if you block most of the middle spray arm. Like if you wash a large cookie sheet in the upper rack. Is it legal in Australia to take things from a dumpster? Here it would be considered stolen. |

Thanks for the detailed explanation about legality.
When I was a kid in the 70s to early 80s we had hard rubbish collection twice a year and appliances were still part of it. Those were the days! I found lots of vintage small appliances and as I was always equipped with pliers and screwdrivers on my raids I could salvage things like plugs and timermotors, switches and those little neon lamps from large appliances to tinker something new or just for collection. I never gave it a thought back then if it could be illegal nor did anybody else. Unfortunately my parents didn`t support my hobby, so hardly anything made it to my adulthood. Today those street collections are rare, few communities still have them and it`s generally not allowed to dispose electric appliances this way. You have to bring them to a recycling center and if you ask them if you can have something the answer is usually no. So there`s not much opportunities left here for free appliances. |
