I am not giving up yet. A free fixit clinic in San Francisco? I have never heard of that.

Hi Gansky, Thanks for your reply. I did think of that, and it seemed too much trouble, but now it appears to be the only solution. And, I have a helper.

THANK YOU, Robert, for all you have done for those who have an interest in appliances! For years, I thought I was the only one, and now I know how untrue that is. I've always appreciated your input, along with the input of many others. Retirement? I have been there for five years, and for me, it...

Hey, Ralph, Great to hear from you! The golden colored switch is the original, and the black, connected switch is the new one. The problem is the new one won't fit in the square cut out in the bottom plate. And my son and I have had a devil of a time keeping the springs and brushes in...

I have a Kitchenaid A-9 Coffee Mill with a defective switch. I took it apart, realized that I could not use the replacement switch I bought, and now it is in pieces. Do any of you know of anyone who restores these small appliances? I have done an internet search, and the few who show up say they...

Kevin, I have enjoyed your videos, some here, and others directly from Youtube. Thanks for posting them! The Sunkist does deliver, for me, the best fresh squeezed orange juice. I have tried the manual presses, and I have a Breville Citrus Juicer. I am sure the height of the ridges on the...

Thanks, Frigilux, for the photo turning. I wish I knew how to do that. Since there are no takers here, my next stop will be on craigslist for $5.00, then for free.

Recently I becaue interested in manual press citrus squeezers and borrowed one (Ra Chand, all aluminum) from a friend for a week. It was ok. Then, I saw on my craigslist a Sunkist commercial juicer, which I bought for $20. Wow! It worked worlds better! But, it made a very loud noise while...

I use the German Persil Universal from amazon. I buy the biggest container available, and it lasts a long time.

Thanks, Matt! I am excited about seeing it sink perfectly into a Kitchenaid mixer bowl. I think I can find some friends with the tilt head model.

I remember reading about copper inserts for Kitchenaid mixers years ago, and bought one at a thrift store yesterday. I do not see any markings on it that say "Kitchenaid," however. It measures 8" diameter from lip to lip. It is about 6 3/4" tall. It has a lot of patina and looks old. From the...

For a short time, when I was maybe seven years old, we had this very dishwasher. I remember that the top was not porcelain; it was painted, and when the dishwasher had very hot water in it, the top got hot, too, and the paint softened. Someone in the family cratched the top when it was running...

It looks to be in good shape for its age and how long it has been in a basement. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/atq/d/oakland-1930s-maytag-vintage-washer/7465187341.html

I have read Don Aslett's book, "Clutter's Last Stand," and its message is far more serious than its tone. I can say it has had an effect on my behavior.

How does the self stirrer work?
