Re: Phosphate "Junkies" Have to agree with the all members of the "Phosphate Users Anonymous Program". Earlier the year, I experienced the same "loss of performance" in my 3 yr old Maytag portable dishwasher; cycle options remained unchanged 99% of time (Cascade Complete Powder. normal wash...

RCA Vista - Component Description This is the description of components for the VHT75; which was the TOL for that year (approx 1964 or 1965?) The brouchure lists all model lines down to bookshelf systems. The VHT75 claims 300 watts amp. next step down is 120 watts and the BOL consoles end at 20...

My RCA Vista VHT75 This is a picture from the original sales brochure that came with my beautiful RCA Vista VHT75 "Finlandia". I found it 2 weeks ago at an estate sale for $50.00. The orignial owner worked for the RCA wholesale distributor in the warehouse. The retail price was $495.00 but his...

Children of Alcoholics Chad My heart goes out to you as does all of the others who have posted in this thread. I would like to add one thing for you to consider. You and I are "Adult Children of Alcoholics". Growing up in the dysfunctional chaos of an alcoholic family, we were hardwired in...

Maybe this will help? Peter I have been following this nightmare from the beginning! What an emotional roller coaster ride! First of all, I think that we would all agree the problem in poor engineering on LG's part and you are just one of many frustrated and irrate LG owners. However, at...

Hi Guys I don't often post but log into this wonderful site 3 or 4 times a day. That AMP brings back a wave of memories. That is very definitely a 1949 Maytag AMP; the first automatic Maytag produced. My Dad surprised my Mom with this very same machine for their anniversary that year. I still...

Welcome to a fellow Vac Collector Glad you joined Kyle. I have been fascinated with vacuum cleaners since I was 3 years old ... that was in 1949! My collection consists of 27 Pre World War II machines. My oldest is a 1921 Hoover. My pride and joy is an Airway from about 1925; took me 20 years...

Don't believe it's a Roper Mom had a 1941 and 1952 Roper. Neither of them looked anything like this. I agree with Maytagbear, it could be a bol Universal. Somehow it reminds me of the Universal stove with pull out James dishwasher, that my Mom's cousin had. This would have been 1951 or 1952...

Moved over from the Yahoo Group in 5/2001 I was memeber at the old Yahoo group. I collect Pre WWII vacuum cleaners but, my second passion is old washers, dryers and, especially, dishwashers. I had belonged to 3 or 4 Yahoo vacuum groups discovered the YAHOO appliance group thru that. Gosh...

Kelly I have used both gas and electric. Electric is my choice for all of the reasons you mentioned. My partner gave me a Whirlpool Flat top, self cleaning for Christmas 2 years ago; replacing a 20 year old Westinghouse that came with our house. The only thing I don't like about electrics is...

Abba Rocks! As a "card carrying family man" Abba is essential to my well being! My loving partner, however, is missing the Abba gene and protests loudly I cue them up on my computer which is 2 feet from his! Of course, being born in 1971 and raised in Germany until he was 16, he missed the...

Kelly I have really been enjoying your posts. I adore your wicked sense of humor. The Fabulous Miss Davis in "All About Eve" comes to mind! Don't walk away! A sharp tongue and a dirty mind are a terrible thing to waste. Bob

Dishwasher I would agree with PeterH770. I have a Whirlpool bol portable that my partner gave me for Christmas in 1999. Eventhough it has the "dreaded" center tower system, it never fails to produce excellent results. I never rinse, put crusty broilers, baking dishes, etc into it. I put pots in...

TV Vacuums - Sanford and Son I believe that the vacuum on Sanford and Son was a vintage Kenmore circa the 1940's or late 1930's, My Dad gave my mother one of these Christmas 1949. I was lucky enough to be able to add this identical machine to my collection last year.

My dad brought home a Hamilton just like this in 1958. I believe that it was maybe 8 to 10 years old at the time. He had done some re-modeling work for an apartment house complex in West LA and 6 of these machines were being thrown away. They had been used in the laundry room and had been coin...
