This ain’t no ordinary kitchen faucet. It’s something new that I hacked with something(s) old. Who can guess? I will cobble up a prize (don’t get too excited) for the first one who gets the answer 100% right. Longtime readers will have a better clue at figuring out where to start — but the answer is in stories already on the blog (here’s a good opportunity to learn to use the useful Search box at the top, if you haven’t already). Good luck. Back tomorrow with the full story.

The handles come from the M52. I just wish Dishmaster would do a retro run of these as they look way better than the M76 ones. They’re already doing re-runs of the vintage faceplates so here’s hoping. It was this blog that made me purchase a new M76 from the manufacturer and import it into NZ – where there is absolutely nothing like this on the market. I have since discovered that BJ Discounters in Orange County are selling all the parts for at least $2 cheaper than Dishmaster themselves!

Dishmaster is doing a rerun of the vintage faceplates? That’s news to me — I’ll go check it out.
I was the one who visited their factory in Indiana more than a few years, then blogged about all the vintage faceplates they had left in stock. The vintage faceplates then flew out the door like hotcakes! I continue to think: Instead of writing and researching I should have been buying and reselling — at twice the price! 🙂

I have an original Dishmaster from 1966 and it’s falling apart. Looks very similar.

Well, that’s lasted a pretty long time!
