Westinghouse Dryers They were always hot, and their thermostats were the weak link. I can remember pulling sheets out, and burning my hands. My Father was always having to replace thermostats. I think if you paired it with an early slant front machine, you might have needed the extra heat. My...

I have used them They work well, but are heavy and cumbersome. You will need 4 people to put them, or take them down easily. They are convienent when shade is needed. Hugs David

I own amachine from the 90's It has the faster short stroke agitation, and works flawlessly.It washes extremely well, with a 2 minute spray rinse after wash, and a 2 minute deep rinse. Its easy on the clothes, and has a lint filter in the agitator, that works very well. I think the performance...

To Appnut I say Amen! I have a 20 cubic foot chest freezer, and make recipes such as this all the time. I love pulling out a meal item, and not having to actually cook. Had a men's group function, and had a bunch of ham, and hotdog buns leftover. cut them in to cubes, and now have stuffing...

Good Turnover It seemed like there might be one too many sheets in it. I was impressed with the turnover. Got to love the rampies. Looks like a very good washer overall! Thank you Leon for the video. I wish Hoover TL had been available here in the U.S. I liked the Hoover styling over the...

Wonder Bread Captain Kangaroo show had Wonder Bread, as one of their sponsors. I myself didn't like wonder for PB, and J's, as the whole sandwich would stick to the roof of your mouth. I can remember having to use your fingers, to pry it off the roof of your mouth, and then washing it down with...

Try TV Land We have Commiecast, and they play a lot of old shows. Usually 2 in a row. Sometime they will play a few hour fest of a show, but not with any regularity. I enjoy it.

Auto Trader Magazine Check in the newsstands for this magazine. Its a great place to advertise a vintage car. They also are fairly structured with some safety's built into their system. Just Sayin! Its also Free to pick up.

OOPS! Sorry for the double post, I got interrupted!

I"m with you Bob With lasagna noodles, I don't pre-boil either. I find it redundant. A little extra sauce, and call it quits.

Beware of PS Toasters, and Ovens Procter Silex, was notoriously known for discoloring, and melting the facia, around the heat, and toaster controls. At one point they were recalled, for that reason. Consumer Reports, always dinked Proters toasters, and toaster ovens for this. On the toaster...

This was a popular model There was a housing tract near my childhood home, that originally had the older style model with the 2 knobs below the door. as they finally gave up the ghost, people used these units to replace them. Otherwise they were stuck with a whirlpool unit with a continuously...

Clear Ammonia For bricks, tile, and lino, clear ammonia works well. On lino, tile, it clears down to the shine, without harming finishes, or glazes on tile. Most of the time, you can get away from re-rinsing. When I use to clean homes for a living, I would use straight ammonia in a squirt...

Be still my beating heart Damn, I almost wet myself, when I saw this pic! I would absolutely love to own this machine. There was something about the drawer type machines shape, that proved to be great cleaning machines. My brother in law was a appliance repair person, and said it might of had...

Great Washing ability I had the econo model, with the power shower. There wasn't anything that i threw at it, that didn't come out spotless. I think It was my favorite dishwasher, along with a RR Maytag, that come along later. I put all dishes anywhere in the GE, and never had anything broken...

Loved Waste Kings We had the same era machine, but owned the plain Jane model. If you pre-rinsed the dishes, ours did a good job overall. Ours did not have pre-rinse, and the soap dish was an open tray, that dumped the soap when you closed the door. I do remember that the dry was extremely hot...

Water Consumption They show the water level, much higher then we could have in the US! Wish we could have it that high. Rinsing would be a lot better!

Economat Pictures Does anyone have pictures of these machines actually washing. I've seen the pics Robert posted, of it extracting the water, but no one seems to post any pics of one washing. I know they had a 8 lb capacity. I would think that with the bell shape tub, and the tall agitator, it...

Hey Mr. Webmaster Could we see your Economat, washing and rinsing please!!! My parents had one, but got rid of it when i was a baby, as if stopped squeezing the clothes out well enough. it ran 5 years with a family ranging from 4-6 people over its short life time. it was replaced with a 1957 60...
