Happy birthday to you GadgetGary. May you have a good one and many more-David

Nice iron So was the ironing board cover still in the box? Possibly in my mothers belongings is a 1962 GE dry iron and a 63 Universal (div of GE) steam spray iron. I haven't come across them yet.

Hi Austin I took a look at the perfect flame link you provided (thanks) and thats a lot of grill for the money! I will check those out when I go to Lowe's next which is generally twice a week. I do love those NewBraunfels grills and smokers; these generally do better at BQn' Ribs. But the...

Thanks Greg for giving that bit of info. The only other Tragic DW I have seen was a 1978 model that was in my Dad's house. I think that was a D&M as it resembled a Caloric. They replaced it with a KA when my stepmom wanted all new appliances (the house was a repo and not in the greatest shape in...

Well, Its a good site and so much fun A good group of people and lots of valuable information. Who wouldn't want to lurk? I did for awhile before I joined and had to quit internet last year as I had a lot of responsibility taking care of my late mother. But I am free to do whatever I want now...

thanks Steve After reading epinions, CR, and Target.com, I see where all the Webers written about got good, if not rave reviews. What seems unreal is the pricier grills didn't "fare as well" in reviews. Like ranges and even our pricier washers, dryers, and dishwashers, expensive is not always...

Spent the weekend with some friends at their 1985 vintage home and the kitchen had Magic Chef appliances-elec cooktop, wall oven, trash compactor(?), and a dishwasher. The outside slightly resembled an old Hotpoint like I used to have in an apartment. I got to noticing that the inside of the...

God there are so many out there. Bought a "Aussie sunshine grill" a couple years ago. No offense to our Aussie friends but I didn't realize that a mostly cast-iron grill would not hold up in a humid environment such as this one. I liked the way it looked so well, I didn't think about it. It is a...

Tried to sell her on the idea Bob, but the money thing came up. "Washes better and gentler" I repeated like a mantra. Oh well.

My old Kenmore finally got replaced as it needed a new timer and had a lot of rust issues. So we looked around and my wife finally came up with a Whirlpool toploader, all the bells and whisles. Very nice machine from BestBuy. Delivered as scheduled and no problems. The old Kenmore was a 90 model...

Not exactly a I was in the process of making ice tea and needed the pitcher out of my new WP in my apartment. It had just finished and the glass pitcher was hot. Without thinking like a real idiot I sat the pitcher in the sink and poured cold water in. The bottom cracked and I rally hated...

Begins another day, another week Top of the mornin' to everyone! Hope you all slept well or are sleeping well. Steve-(Mayken4now) Yes the whole world seems to be getting a little more out of control each day. Unfortunately we have no leadership at this time, politicians have made themselves...

What a great machine Jon I love these old Bendix, Philco-Bendix, combos or just straight washers. Hope you didn't lose any machines in that big rain up there.

unfortunately I see apathy on the highways People speeding happily along in vehicles that get poor gas mileage, extreme interstate traffic clogs which translates to little or no concern about "doing what one can do to save". I drive under the speed limit of 70 here in louisiana and my job...

Thanks Geoff I really have enjoyed looking at these old brochures and papers. Maytag was a great company in those days. I would love to have some of those old maytags.
