A lot of the old impeller type dishwashers had the plates in a circle to face the spray head-on. I had an American Kitchens machine years ago with a rotating upper rack as well. It was amazing how fast that rack would spin from the force of the impeller, even full of glasses and mugs!
Look's like a cool old machine.

And apparently it’s working too

So I’ll be getting it

That lower rack reminds me of the bed pan washers by Hobart we had in our hospital.

Oh wow, that’s a very unusual way of cleaning bedpans

What do I do? Wonder, what are the two indicator lights fall and the two switches for that? I actually will probably only end up finding out after getting the machine and plugging it in and putting water to it

When you get access to the machine, you can do some research on the model number and see what the machine is meant to be used for.

Yeah, cause having a look at it

There’s no drainpump as it just open the valve, and there is no heater either. At least from what I’ve physically seen with the photos, so I’ll have a look on Friday

It will be interesting to see a bit more of this dishwasher - being GEC one would expect some sort of British connection but its not like anything I have seen before. GEC did have a dishwasher in the early 1960s but it was top loading and looked like a GE MobileMaid

Oh cool, I’ll have to figure out the water connections and

Drainage connections when it arrives, at the moment, I’m not sure if it has a heater, but it’ll be hooked up to hot water regardless

So yep, it is officially mine now

I’m pretty much happy with that, plus I will be getting it shipped down in about two weeks, and it actually seems to be kinda thin although it doesn’t look like it actually has a heater, oh well that’s what hot water is for
