IMO one of the best I agree with Tom about the buttons on the edges instead of the backspash where they belong for lots of reasons.   Eventually this stove evolved into the J757, which was one of the best electric stoves ever made at that time. It was the same stove as the Americana without...

Thanks for posting this Neat top loaders and I would love to be able to buy and ship that Whirlpool built-in; I always wanted a top-rack like that which has vessels in extreme lean position plus the wonderful silverware basket mounted on the inside of the door.

Does anybody make an old-style Dishwasher Detergent that has Lye, phosphates and other non-enzyme surfactants in the mix?

Thanks for posting this Phil! ...and I'm going for this one!   It would be great if it were one of the first series with the two pumps and the weird detergent dispenser, but I'd like another working WP-600 just the same.   I'm going to try to read the serial number on the rating plate to...

Chambers, another great, extinct American Brand I live near the Thimble Islands on the Connecticut shoreline. One of these islands that is now owned by the State Parks department has a house on it that was built by a Yale architect in the very early Sixties. The kitchen had the same Chambers...

Yes! Totally agree with Bob and it's yet another reason I'd like to add some Rollermatics to my collection.   I thought about this a while back; with a Solid Tub (no or little outer tub water) and a Rapid-Dry spin the only thing missing would be an internal water heater which I would fake...

From what I've read The whole "Lint-Away" chazerei was just as you said, a marketing ploy to compete with Filter-Flo and the Ken - pools with built-in lint filtration.    When we had a 1958 Unimatic, I switched the yellow ring with the bigger Circus-Peanut colored ring to see if it improved...

i'm on board If there's a Medical term for someone with a fetish for weird dishwashers with crazy colors...I have that.

Off of Pinterest I'd love to have  a whole room for Laundry with a huge ironing table for sheets. Some of my favorite vintage machines: <ul> <li>      GE 1250 A pair (has anyone EVER done that kind of flush installation with the bath-tub valves?)</li> <li>      Whirlpool MarkIII pair for...

They are indeed wonderful machines I've used these machines my entire career as a chef; we refer to them in the business as "undercounter machines" or "Bar machines". They're more about sanitizing than about deep cleaning. Some of them, like the one you posted are High-Temp machines, Low-Temp...

If only... I have a retro Pink American Standard bathroom that I want to keep with some revisions. If a Genie of the Lamp gave me three wishes, one of them might be for these:

I always thought You could put one of these next to another 30" range and end up with a dandy cooking center with 8 burners and two different ovens for nowhere near the price of a large 2 oven stove these days.

Is that a Plastisol tub? and I think you're right about low usage; their isn't a spot of rust on those racks. It may be a bad cleaner, but it'd be very cool to have. And you all know I'm a sucker for turquoise.

Sure The GE in my post didn't have a filter flume or a filter pan, but GE had so many variations of BOL models that a customer might be persuaded to spend 10 dollars more for the filter-flo feature or a WASH TEMP control or both. I'm sure a major brands like Whirlpool/Kenmores were offered with...

Our first washing machine was this kind of BOL It was a compact 24" wide 1956 Whirlpool on casters that was in the kitchen of our Peter Cooper flat in a "Hi-Fi" crate (because washing machines and portable dishwashers were taboo in those apartments so businesses in the neighborhood accommodated...

I'm a WARM person IMHO it's just plain science. Solubility increases with temperature ( I'm talking about the 35^o-110^o zone). Given the current state of non-phosphate detergents you would have to show me hard data to convince me that cold rinses work as well as warm rinses...

Aferim! Bee u tee ful!   Congratulations on a great find.

Here's what we brought to the Feast of the 7 Fishes  After some research and shopping for authentic candied peels, sugar plums and brandy:   <!-- [if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!-- [if gte mso 9]><xml>...

Just when I was getting excited about these new things... ..and was seriously considering risking 2K out of curiosity, I noticed lots of GE "All-in-One" units for sale on our local Craigslist. Wondering if these are disappointments or if they come with, as CU used to term them, "sample...

What a beautiful set More pictures please. IMO early 1970's Maytags were their best generation.   Yes, the selector button assemblies sometimes get gunked up and need some gentle cleaning and some Teflon spray.   I laughed out loud the first time I opened up a Maytag control panel and...
