Speedway Ron has now developed an intense need to acquire every small appliance ever made that was recessed directly into the wall. To go with all his steel kitchens and now, he tells me, 4 vintage refrigerators in his possession:
Pam, again I blame you…I was pretty happy living my life and not knowing that Chambers ever made a full copper stove in the late 1950’s. Now I know it’s out there and I want one. Dare I say, that I might even NEED one. So I got to looking and I think I’ve found a full copper Chambers kitchen and it also has a stainless Hotpoint fridge in it. How cool would that be? I do think I need to try to buy it.
That would make four fridges that I don’t want to sell though. That’s a lot. Someday this will all be worth something right!!?? hehe… Ron
Read on for more – including a recessed Modern Maid wall toaster! Ron’s happy obsession also now extends to recessed appliances, he tells me.
See my Sunbeam posts:
- Sunbeam steel appliance cabinet appliance center
- Happy birthday to me – my Sunbeam birthday present!
- And this Westinghouse model.
He’s refused to pay $255 on ebay for a Modern Maid toaster that recesses and pulls out of the wall.
And now – I am on the lookout for other appliances to torture him with. Isn’t this 1961 recessed dishwasher incredible? Jane Jetson, eat your heart out…Ron, try not to!

Yeah, this is just mean! hehe
Great stuff. Does anyone actually have one of these dishwashers? I’ve got vintage dishwashers but nothing like this one…. I’d like to see one.

My family had one of these years ago… had been hunting for another one, and found one in Oakland still in box. Even has the manual and installation template with it. Best part, it works like a charm, attached a video of it running (was the first time it ran, and the seals on the spray deflector were stiff. it now goes at a much faster back and forth now. Does take a bit of time to learn how to load it, but once you do, you can get a good pile into the machine, fun to watch as well.

Hey Speedway Ron … I saw a few cute catalogs featuring all sorts of built in appliances and thought you might enjoy them. Search for ‘SIX Vintage Retro 1954 Kitchen Appliance Pamphlets’ to find the ebay auction. And, sorry, my dishwasher is the plain ol’ regular kind!

Interesting! Mr. Ling morphed his company into the conglomerate LTV (Ling Temco Vought) which had (has?) it’s own tower in downtown Dallas across from the building I used to work in. The company included aerospace holdings and Mr. Ling sold stock in his company from a booth at the State Fair of Texas (way back when). I didn’t know anything about the deluxe appliance side of the company. Thanks for sharing that! At least I think I’m making the correct connection. Someone let me know if I’m WAY off track. It’s happy hour here in San Marcos!
