I have 10 cars- 5 with manual windows,4 with electric and 1917 Dodge roadster with no side windows :) fave electric is the 1985 f-150 : fast and smooth. The switch fell apart, so replaced with a pair of toggle switches for a "grandpa" type fix. Least fave electric is the 1981 Porsche 928: slow...

Now that it is snowing as I type, I have restarted on my e-trike project from last year: as much an art project as a rideable vehicle, 20x4 tires and 1KW 48V BLDC motor. Known and predictable AGM batts. The other active project is upgraded cat enclosure-current one is basicly a hollowed out...

Also Norge, Westinghouse, Blackstone. will have to look, but i kinda recall my 1982 Wards catalog has a Norge built coin-op offered...

Gas absorption refrigerators made from ~1932-56 under some Swedish patents. sometime around late 1990s, there was a cash bounty on these because after decades of operaton with no maintenance burner would burn "dirty" and emit excess CO ... I stayed at an old rental cabin for a couple days in...
