Looks like good results from the convection baking, I tend to like the cheese and crust a little more browned than directions allow time for. I had a Viking (made by Hamilton Beach) counter-top oven that was pretty uneven standard bake or convection. Small oven, 120v, large glass door, etc...

If you look closely at the filter-mount on the Activator, you can see notches (?) around the mount. I don't think I've ever seen that in-real-life either. Perhaps that is another instance of the "Marketing Dept. needs photo/illustration guidance..." before the product was ready for production.

I love the E Go blower and line trimmer - would never go back to corded (or gas) versions. I need to get another battery as only have one that came in the two-tool set. Love their products. A neighbor of mine just got a robotic mower this season and really likes it. The only thing he would...

Grandparents bought a very similar unit in the early 80's at Gambles store to replace a 20 year-old Sears Coldspot. It was a basic model but suited their needs just fine. We moved it to the basement of my parent's house a couple of years later, as a second refrigerator in the basement. Was...

Some friends bought a GE gas dryer last year to replace a 6 year old WP top-filter dryer. A plastic zipper pull got caught in between the drum and front of the machine. I opened it up to remove the offending bit of plastic, easy enough, but that was one of the cheapest-built machines I've ever...

Recently brought home a 2023 set of WP TOL top load washer and (electric) dryer. The washer had a broken impeller, the collar that holds the all-but-useless spiral-shaped removable 'agitator' had broken when a stiff door-mat was washed. Rather than waiting for repair, parts, etc. the owners...

2001 A Space Odyssey (1968): RCA Whirlpool badge prominently affixed to the food service unit in the shuttle capsule. I didn't realize WP was contracted to develop food management applications in the space program IRL, another good day to learn something new. Thanks, Cory.

What a great look into assembly back then. I'm always curious how many units were shipped from WP, Frigidaire, GE, etc. per day. Thank you again, Cory, I look forward to these restored films. What a great historical archive you're building.

Beautiful work, Tom. This is one of the iconic Kenmore washer styles, congrats on getting it looking and running like new again.

That's a spring (1 of 2) that holds the air filter on the inside of the back panel.

Nice work, Paul, you have a beauty there.

You'll get attached to the green, it's unavoidable.. avocado fever begins! Great finds, Paul, you have a knack for sniffing out some nice things.

Very nice, Paul, worth the trip!

Oh I would have tried if we'd had the time. The storm was on a Friday night and there was hope in the beginning that the line in our yard would be repaired quickly. Lots to think about in the moment, 1/4 acre of my yard covered in downed trees and branches, hole in the roof, water in the...

GE deserves a mention, they always made my heart flutter a little..
