Shipping assistance For the lucky winner of the Frigidaire: The man who brought my pink GE 1957 set to California from NY for the BEST PRICE ever is: Keith Bradshaw and his cell phone number is 828-432-7510. He makes cross-country runs and may have to schedule delivery around the time in which...

After-MASH I remember the series but cannot recall that specific episode. Unfortunately, one of the things I recalled about the series was that it was not very historically accurate as far as background music and some of the background effects and was kind of a letdown after the MASH series.

A call for help from Fresno, CA, for the following parts for the 1957 Westinghouse Laundromat model L-110. Have emailed a few places and struck out each time: 1. Top snubber pads; 2. Tub bearings and seal; 3. Air gap assembly (leaking badly); and 4. Tub halves gasket. Thanks for whatever leads...

Hazel--car question Speaking earlier of Hazel and her Bendix Duomatic -- what kind of car is that featured in the title credits/opening theme scene in the 1964-65 season? It looks like a 1965 Ford Galaxie to me.

The original seller said he'd notify me... ...if he decided to go through with the sale. This is the man who had them on CraigsList. I can't figure out if he decided to sell them on Ebay instead, or if this is a new owner who's auctioning the pair, but I was a little disappointed that he didn't...

1963 Frigidaire Don't know what the deal is with the people selling the 1963 Frigidaire on the SF Peninsula, but they said they would not accept my money order in payment and they didn't seem to want to be patient until I could arrange to have it shipped to me. I wasn't offering a Western Union...

June Cleaver & a dishwasher I recall, though, that in that same era, early 1960's, dishwashers were still considered pretty much a luxury except by those who had homes even a bit more upscale than the Cleavers. Our neighborhood was far from being "upscale," but even so, there was only one home...

Thanks for your congratulations Can't believe that I'll be seeing that old familiar salmon-orange timer dial again for the first time since about 1970... when my maternal grandfather came to live with us following my grandmother's passing in 1967, and never again did I see the flat in San...

Maytag on CraigsList Please email me -- [email protected]. The link to your email address is not providing a complete email address for you. I can save you the money on the purchase! Thanks.

Sure things in life Shows you what Ben Franklin knew; HE said you could only be sure if it's death or taxes, but he may be right because those two things are still very much at work today when a lot of the Westinghouses have given up the ghost.

Fred Mertz I'm jealous; I thought I had ALL the dialogue of ALL the episodes memorized, and that bit about Ethel sending Fred out to get dirty slipped by me until it was mentioned here. I recall it now. And I never knew exactly what brand of machine it was, that "lemon," as the Mertzes called...

Fred Mertz getting dirty? It would be nice to stop by to say HELLO, but I'll be up here in Fresno, dying of the heat in this miserable pit of a Valley and miserable excuse for a place to call "home." I'm just not recalling Fred Mertz being stereotypically known for getting his clothes dirty...

Soap Suds To Spare This clip also reminds me of the scene in the wonderful Doris Day/James Garner, THE THRILL OF IT ALL, when he gets fed up with Doris and her soap powder commercials, storms outside and kicks the many boxes of soap powder, neatly stacked by the pool for the TV commercial, INTO...

How do I remove the inner tub? I call Jim, my tried-and-tested now-retired repairman and HE comes and removes the inner tub! If yours truly did the job, the machine would look like the brick barbecue after Lucy and Ethel tried to reconstruct it after having taken it apart to search for Lucy's...

Cool retro GE pamphlet on the Ebay auction block; YEE-HAW, the title title alone makes it the PERFECT posthumous birthday or holiday gift for Betty Friedan. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-GE-Booklet-How-to-Wash-Iron-a-Shirt-Perfectly_W0QQitemZ300109926490QQihZ020QQcategoryZ378QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
