I shared pics last year of my 1964 Oldsmobile Starfire. It is up and running, needs a new distributor advance but is drivable. I was doing routine "get it going again" tasks and was repairing my remote trunk release. This is an interesting mechanism in that it is not electrical, but uses...

Rick interesting you should post this I was thinking of a thread on my dad's 1963 (or so) Cooper Edger/Trimer. It is in unrestored condition, but very good for it's age. He basically has left it at my house and I am wondering if he will ever pick it up! I am planning on cleaning it up. It is...

Get Super8mm Kodachrome while it lasts. It's been discontinued. The replacement is a 60 speed Ektachrome, which is supposed to be pretty good, although no Kodachrome, with its archival qualities. Kodachrome is still available as Cinechrome 40 for REGULAR 8mm cameras, and it is still available...

Veg... I have seen those and was going to pick one up until I found out about the endless loop cartridge thing. I read one auction where these were popular in schools. Were there education super 8mm films? I don't remember that at all. It was always 16mm films. My guess was that you could send...

My new Technicolor Super8mm Camera, one of the strangest things I have ever seen. The cartridge shoves in from the back. After cleaning some dried acid off the battery connectors, it fired right up. Very bizarre looking indeed.

Good Heavens, what could this thing be? A sub-particle matter duetronium phase inductor?

Ice cream makers I bought a Cuisinart last year and it is working fine. You prefreeze the cannister and don't need ice. However, stay away from the Rival ones. The first Rival I bought lasted for two uses. It was past warranty and I opened it up to find why it stopped working. The entire spoon...

Oh it's simple Since Oxyclean doesn't really do anything anyway, it doesn't matter if it's in the rinse cycle! :-) (someone shut that Billy Mays freakshow up)

I would say.... that is an oil burning heater. My mom and dad had one in their first apartment, and my mom was afraid to use it. She said it looked like a radar dish, you put some oil in it, and it would burn it and radiate heat. She hated it, but her description seems to match it. And the...

I could never stand this woman. Sorry if I offend anyone here, could never see the entertainment factor. I remember as a technician starting out in my career, assembling computers in a 105 degree warehouse while "Borderline" played over and over the loudspeakers. Our room was wired to a radio...

Looks great I love grilling, do it at least once a week, all year. My Sunbeam is still going strong after over 10 years. I replaced the inner burner with a generic one, it has just kept going. I do wish I had a gas gauge though!

Why are you guys... so surprised that no one wanted to eat that! I LOVE tootsie rolls (I'll go through a whole "Tootsie Roll Bank" in 2 evenings if ya let me) and I love cakes. But please, those cakes are gross! I wouldn't have eaten them as a kid OR as an adult, no matter how tasty!!! Now a...

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee! They still make something similar. Maybe I don't have to go vintage (althought what would be the fun of that!) Still digging... http://www.eclothesdryers.com/images/ecd2006_photo.jpg

My 90's Kenmore shift across the floor on every load and rattles around alot. It did not do this in our old laundry room. All I can think of is that we were on a concrete slab in the old house and here is a raised wood floor on a house built in the late 40s. The floor seems to vibrate alot with...

Why do I think Of Aunt Bee from the Andy Griffith show when I see that chicken!

Southern CA weather fun Talk about extremes. The Saturday before last we broke a record for my city, 115 degrees. The old record was 113 back in the 1940s. We rarely break heat records (so much for Global Warming, seems the hottest it was out here was in the 30s/40s!). It was so hot here...

Sometime I want to add one of these to the collection. Growing up, in two of our homes, Dad would put up a steel "T" on the lawn in concrete. Across the the T, on the house under the eaves, he would install one of these. About two feet wide, ours was a steel, non-painted canister with a flip...

I got the more cheesey '70s version, the Silver Star set. Much more plasticy and inexpensive (relatively) but I love it anyways. I have not set it up in years. I got it when I was 11, then would get accessories at Christmas for a few years after. I have the electronic "sound of steam" coal...

How many.. models and years was this offered in Westinghouse dryers? Were there any other manufacturers with special music, buzzers, etc?

Jakins.... When the heck am I finally going to remember your screen name! Apologies...
