We had an ancient Bendix gas dryer that Broiled the clothes when I was a kid. My mother wanted the timer set for 1 hour and clothes came out way too hot. My Maytag set at Less Dry will usually dry a load fully in 30-45 minutes and the clothes are cooled down.

Thanks, Dados, think its a harvest gold. Tried to set up a new FB account for Marketplace because many people around here have had good luck selling things. But because I had an old account that was cancelled and the e/mail address deleted years ago , but I tried to use my new e/mail address...

What does it look like? Being a robot, FB banned me permantly for trying to impersonate myself.

I have a pair of huge 1988 Bose Interaudio SA-1000 that reproduce every note perfectly and can crank. I did refoam the woofers several years ago. I also have a pair of 1972 KLH Model 6 speakers in my rec room. Both will rattle the neighbors windows. Refoaming is easy and the kits are available...

Where I live, the main problem is crows that will rip open every big green trash bag left out. So in this town, all trash must be in covered trash cans. A few years ago I left out a green bag with just cardboard in it and the day of pickup it was ripped open and scattered. Crows around here are...

You did explain it in full, Matt. My over the air stations are limited by NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS and their sub-stations. I do have a ROKU and Spotify is my only subscription for the best sounding digital music. Plus a ton of free networks ROKU gives you. When Directv upped my bill to over $100 with...

Yes, Matt, now that my family is gone also, I just heated up the free senior dinner and it being so cold outside, stuck inside with the tv. Why does every network just have to have constant sports on. If someone wants to watch those games, pay that expensive ticket price and go see it. Networks...

In 1995 I completely redid this place and put in a 1.6 Elger that was getting to the point that you needed to flush twice. Replaced it with a cheap Aquasource from Lowes that flushes with a big woosh. My problem is the well water is very high iron content that stains easily. I tried everything...

Yes Matt, so was I. Thankfully I was a free range kid that only had to go home for meals and experienced alot before high school. There I had the most fun and when I was a Senior, we could legally drink, vote and even get a car loan. I miss those fun days as being an old fart now sucks.

I have that same Melmac that I use everyday. You CANT use it in a Microwave as it gets hot, not food inside. Seems to be dishwasher safe and even after these years they still look fine. And NO , it will break when it is old like mine

I HATE calling any place you need to speak with a real person and cant get thru their AI answering system that refuses to let you thru and if and when, you are sent to a representative greeted by "We are experiencing higher than normal call volume".

I have the 511, just like the 510 above but it has a bleach dispenser. Has run like a champ for over 40 years with one $28 part. Too bad so many Maytags of this vintage are still going strong and the newer models are already in the scrap heap.

My old "95 Silverado's factory battery lasted 9 years and my "13 Silverado factory battery also lasted 9 years. But my old "81 Corvette would chew up a battery every year unless it was disconnected when sitting for any length of time.

But if you insisted (Demanded) that you wanted that model at Sears, they would try everything to up sell you and if its was this model you wanted, sorry ,now out of stock, maybe a few weeks before you could get it. The salesperson lost his tiny commission on the low end sales but if he sold a...

People nearby had that washer and the $118 dryer, looked quite matched. It was an actual 2 speed washer but had one water inlet, so temp is set at faucet and it filled to the top unless you stopped the timer at the water level you like and set timer at 5 minutes. Dryer was high or no heat set on...
