Around 1954, mom and dad bought the coolest 40" General Electric range. It had two large burners and two small ones, also a large and small oven. She didn't want or need a deep-well stewing pot. The backsplash was designed very well with the clock in the center with two large chrome oven temp...

I didn't see any machines like this when I binge=watched "Boots."

I no longer have my player piano (I've had two) but would your uncle be interested in 100 good rolls for free? Just pay shipping and mishandling? You didn't sound rude at all.

GE Mobile Maids had no soil separator (food filter) and tended to re-deposit food particles. GE tried to get around the issue by using lots of water changes. However, they made great garage utility washers.

If you can find a new Maytag special drive belt, just replace it. It's super easy to do that. It was a genius idea to use a belt than can slip when the motor reverses direction for spin. This eliminated the need for wear-prone clutches and expensive viscous drives.

I live in Idaho. Most of our power comes from hydroelectric sources, and seems much more stable and reliable than places I've lived with coal and gas generation. Nevertheless, I use surge protectors for my computer and entertainment equipment. No matter what the electricity source, lightning...
