The Links in Modern Living are a mess. I would guess all multi section threads are too.

Robert, I'm approaching this with a bit of trepidation - I knew this day was coming - just sooner than I expected. I  hope you find retirement enjoyable. You deserve it after putting up with all of us for so many years.  Well done!

I bought a hybrid Lisa mattress last year, can't say enough good things about it.   A year in it's just as comfortable.

I'm occasionally surprised at the number of posts that some threads differ from what I see. For me it's well worth not seeing garbage posts from a couple of people.

Thanks,  I'll take a look.

I bought a new mattress last year, it's considerably thicker than my old one. None of my sheets fit it properly. Bought some sheet clips but they are a hassle to use.  I like 100% cotton sheets and bought a set, but the budget isn't there for 3 or 4 sets. Stumbled across a set of brushed micro...

Not dialing the area code is nor really  a voip function but how my PAP2T adapter is programmed. It's not really a big deal but for me it's a "nice" feature I like.   If you are not familiar with the Cisco/Linksys PAP2 adapters  they are highly customizable. You can change the dial tone, and...

  what is the issue?  I might have a copy somewhere, but first look here under ephemera.

I've been using voip.ms for well over a decade, great affordable service. Ported my number - that  we've had since the 60's - use a Panasonic cordless system with 5 handsets plus a couple of hardwired handsets all connected to my Cisco PAP2T voip adapter. Lots of customization over the years...

Mark,I could never get the cleaning cycle to work using your method. I have the exact machine in the link you posted,someday I'll try that method although it's been fine all these years without it.

You drop a dime in the bowl and see how much it moves when running. Goal is about 1/2-1" each time, more movement means beater is too low.

Congrats on 20 years!  I have one of your machines siblings - it's going strong too.  Bought it used in 2010, wanted to experiment with a FL,soon became my daily driver. Wishing you many more years of Duet washing.

Shape wise it's an exact copy of the original. That said I expect it to operate in a similar manner.  I have not used it yet so I can't comment on that.  I looked at a number of knock-offs on AZ but KA was having a sale and I was ordering other things, so I tossed it in my basket for $29.

Wow, it's HEAVY! Ordered it directly from KA so it's genuine.   Old coated beater 123g new SS beater 345g!   BTW did the dime test, still spot on.  Found I purchased it 10/7/92, never adjusted it, no service at all. Might want to check the brushes at some point, no grease leaks so I will...

Well here  I go again.  KA is having a sale so I added a red cordless 7 speed hand held to my collection. I was making a Karpatka last weekend, used my $14 Aldi cordless mixer and it made a mess on my cooktop. It's got to go.   What's a Karpatka? See the link below...
