I’ll bet it does work and it looks like a heavy son of a gun too.

They're way too rare to be trash.

Thank you... For this information. I didn’t realize this service was so close to me.

A friend of mine told me this was on Youtube. Thanks for posting it Eddy and thanks for the thread Louie. Yeah, one would think at some point along their silly existence they would have seen an old movie or run across one somewhere. It seems as if it's time for schools to start teaching mid - to...

Something with phosphate in it. But Massachusetts is one of those states that gets all worked up about phosphate I think, so you may not be able to buy it. Usually where there's a will there's a way. Try Amazon and see if they'll ship Bubble Bandit to Massachusetts. There's all so Cascade Fryer...

This thread is especially poignant for me at this time as I just had my landline disconnected. I had that same number for 32 years. I agree with Eddie that working as a telephone operator at that time was surely miserable. I resented paying long distance fees to talk to my cousins that were only...

Zigzag setting on sewing machine. Go back and forth over hole until it’s filled in. If you don’t, I would zip up all zippers, especially metal ones and fasten buttons. Check your agitator for rough spots and if you find any get some fine emory paper and polish out the spots. I wash mixed loads...

That sounds about right. Start small and add a little more if you have to. My mom used too much in hers and took the shine off the porcelain.

Define over filling. Above the line where the lint filter meets the agitator barrel would be considered overfilling by most. Others consider above the upper most holes in the barrel's side an overfill. The machines I have or have worked on are set to the seam where the lint filter meets the...

Nice job, Paul. I love me a solid tub. I don’t care about Betty Furness and her sand test in the solid tubs. I loved my sixties Speed Queen A-49 (I think) and matching gas dryer. Great styling, clean clothes and fun to watch IMO. Those incandescent lit glass control panels with the cool graphics...

I spotted this building while crossing The Ambassador Bridge from Windsor back in 2000. I thought at the time that the building probably wouldn’t make it and here, almost 20 years later, someone is doing something about it. To loose it would be like loosing Penn Station in New York. A loss that...

That was so funny. I’m sure none of us recognized any of those machines except the Westinghouse “Tanglemat”. My mother always shook the sand out of our clothes if we had been to the beach. Betty should have washed a load of sheets and dug all that out of there.

We here in Missouri and many other parts of the US are cursed with varying degrees of hard water because of porous limestone and sandstone that release calcium, magnesium and chalk. In mountainous parts of the country sometimes the water flows directly over some of these types of rocks and picks...

A bit late to the table.... But I was told the bin and ram on these machines get dirty and stink to high Heaven. I’ve never owned one so I can’t speak from experience. I know these things have automatic deodorant dispensers, so maybe this was a case of poor maintenance? Any comments from others...
