Years ago,there was a Russian on here that was rebuilding a Russian copy of one of those old Hoover twins: looked like it was almost identical to British original :)

Welcome from over here! . My Wurlitzer experience is with a 1974 "Funmaker" electronic organ : rotating baffle "Leslie" bass woofer,built in cassette recorder,early ICs with white ceramic packaging...

Welcome from western South Dakota :)

very cool- image of 6 jet airplanes arranged to form a snowflake :) welcome from this side of Atlantic.

Parents had 1980 monkey norge dryer bought new and served well for next 18 years until the motor seized and no replacement avalible at the dump. Design started about 1968 and ran to about 1982 using a 1/2 hp motor.About 1983 same basic design had fan reduced in size a little and changed to...

My Porsche 928 has that design: aluminum bores with iron-plated pistons :) The Cadillac HT4.1 had iron liners (and like the Vega iron heads)...

I was just given several BPC era CRT TVS,one a 19" magnavox from 2003. I will keep ones that are 100% and junk the others. :)

worse reliability LCD TVs i noticed were the Funai brands: Emerson,Sansui,etc.-saw a couple of those go bad while on display at Wal Mart: glitching display, dead lines, green stripe. Staff had so little pride in what they were selling, these bad TVs would remain in place and on for days...before...

I have a couple early 1980s SQ Marathons: an '82 with porcelain tub and an '84 with stainless tub-noisy and a little crude,but effective :) nowhere near the fit and finish quality of an older DC Maytag,but those are a high standard in that regard.

I think plasma TVs were sold from about 2002-15,for a while they were the only flat screen with a fast response.I remember reading about experimental plasma TVs in Popular Science about 1986. I recently added a 55" Sanyo plasma from ~2011 to the TV fleet-have not tested it out yet.

I have never seen one in person,but there were some big early '80s boom boxes that could play a 12" record vertically.

that is a large,complex boom box-8" woofers? D-cell batts? 1983? :) I have around 6 boomboxes: 2 good size ones, A Sharp from around 1980 and a Magnavox from '85. a small one worth noting is a Russian one made in 1995-all Russian parts. My biggest music machine is an AMI jukebox from 1976,loaded...

Seek and scan radio was a cool feature in the '79 Park Avenue For cars affected by this features subcription phenomenon, think of buying a smartphone and then buying apps to set up the device to your liking...features are built into the car-just extra cost subscription to unlock them...
