Vacuum tubes preceded transistors. They amplifiy and or rectifiy current in amplifier, preamp, and television circuitry. They have filaments that glow and heat up. Basically they make a weak input frequency signal stronger.

What do you mean? GE and Profile models are still made with smooth tops in both rear and front controls. Maybe not Hotpoint. I thinks it's more of a cheap builder/rental grade brand now.

GE doesn't have one? Odd.

Depends on if the spill got into seams or shelf edges. Use a vinegar/baking soda solution. Or put baking soda in a sachet type thing in your fridge.

Looks like a Whirlpool product at the end.

A good youtube video to watch on this is 9 vintage speakers audiophile hate by Skylabs audio in Demoine Iowa. I don't think Advent made a poor sounding speaker period! The Kabuki genera suffered from high subsonic bass, and amps. back then didn't have as good of a damping factor. This meant...

Oh, about the "boomy" but muffled mid range and treble sound; It wasn't only a symptom of the early solid state designs. From the late 70's through the early millenium, speakers made by the Japanese companies with 15 inch woofers, and three and four mid's and tweeters in light shallow cabinets...

Maybe that's what I meant Matt. I've only seen photos. As fir stacking vinyl, that still holds true with many opinions. Maybe it's different for Lacquer records.

Matt, this is the first I've ever seen a Zenith VM component changer. Same 2 G tonearm as consoles had. Technics also made one with the buttons in the platter. Rare to find a platter not al dryl rotted with the correct holes.

The ADC accurate 400 is also remote control.

My new Technics SL 1500-C has three speeds. You select 78 rpm by holding 33 and 45 buttons together. Some record changers and single play automatics had small buttons in the platter each at 7", 10", and 12". Whichever record size was on it, that's where the tonearm drops. I think new Dual's...

Turbomatic ,was it Arlans, or Arlens? Allen Park, Michigan had one behind a Sears. I remember some of the clothing displayed folded up on tables or in boxes. Simpson -Sears in Canada wasn't absorbed with Eaton's?? Both are gone. Matt, I only remember the Brady's going shopping to the S&H...

Timer board was all electronic.

Isn't one in Miami, or maybe it's a Kmart.

We had the Whirlpool Gold model 940 I believe from 1999-2000. It performed well, but was no Quiet Partner. By 2009, it wouldn't change from Normal cycle. We used it two more years. It only cost $400 new.
