He has been in the appliance repair business since the 1960s and has a bunch of vintage appliances in his warehouse in Beltsville MD. I really recommend you contact him before you do anything with that circa 1970 top of the line dishwasherPATRICK COFFEYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-33549890596031863452012-06-04T08:28:06.971-04:002012-06-04T08:28:06.971-04:00So I went to another estate sale this weekend put ...So I went to another estate sale this weekend put on by the same guy who had the house last weekend with the L-shaped brown breakfast nook. He had brought some leftovers from that sale to the next one. I asked him about the nook, and he said that someone did buy it for the $50 price and it's going to be used in a weekend cabin somewhere.
