  I found a good-sized stash of vintage Cascade at an estate sale some years ago, snapped it all up.  I brought a box to Arizona a couple of years ago so we could "christen" a never-used KA dishwasher at Roger's.  It smelled good and was free-flowing out of the box but it didn't dissolve in the...

  Really fun glimpse into the mid-century California shopping world.  Thanks for all your hard work, Cory, these are wonderful pieces of history.

  This is interesting, just saw a video of Mr. Mixer's a day or so ago about his going to pick this mixer haul up.  Have been following him for a while on social media, he's from Kansas and has built a good business repairing and selling KA mixers.  I'm sure he was fun to meet in person. ...

    These are good spots, I remember only a few KA commercials through the 70's & early 80's but they were rare.  KA had a high-end, quality  reputation like Maytag, one commercial touted this with "Next time, buy a KitchenAid."     Has anyone seen this model floating around?  Not sure I've...

  What a great leap forward in automation for the clothes dryer, the magic of electronics had made it to the laundry room.  I only remember a few people having the Maytag or WP/KM electronic sensor dryers, it was still a step-up feature for many.

    Excellent work, of course.  The APEX is saved again!  

    Have restored a couple of KAs now, bought several things from Mr. Mixer.  Good video instructions and tips.   I haven't installed one of the Everdime washers on a tilt-head mixer, my Hobart is a bowl-lift model.  Mom has a tilt-head so may try one on that just for fun.  It helps keep the...

  Great video, I can imagine many women watching this on Tuesday, March 2  pining for an automatic washer after spending most of Monday doing the family wash.     Thanks for doing these videos, Cory. 

    Nice one.

  Great job, again.  The a/c condenser skittering across the screen was awesome, WP made really good HVAC products.

  Penta-Swirl!  This was probably a Sunday-ad pair, usually would run "on sale" for a week or two and then the model would change slightly in features, etc.  but was always within a few dollars of the usual replacement market price point.  Sears got slammed hard on bait-n-switch schemes and...

    Nice washer find!  You've done a great job bringing it back to its original glory, it looks stunning!  Can't wait to see it running, that agitator is so interesting. 

  Terrific job, Cory.   That would have been a fun day to be present for, wasn't this factory building fairly new in 1955?  What a time to live in Newton.  

    Nice save, Dan.  Good looking range.  Elements with integrated rings and new bowls are not hard to find on ebay, from John L., etc.   I believe you may be able to remove those center "P" emblems and attach them to the new elements, I did this with my 58 GE elements.  The emblems will...

  Sorry to hear your experience is so sketchy with Tesla. You would think that given the desire for customers to adopt this new technology, the customer service would be exemplary.   Is there a roofing material that you can use to deter the squirrels going forward?  

  We had a mid-sixties Hotpoint in a house bought in the mid-80's.  Miserable performer all around, especially after having a four year old  Maytag Jetclean in the previous kitchen.  The sound of water smashing around in the machine was impressive but sadly, the results were usually a...

    Nice find, Jon.  Some friends have this set in black and other than a few typical repairs to both over the years, they're going strong today.  These controls are very flexible and easy to use, much improved since the first touch-control models of the early 80's.  

    That is a perfect upgrade, you'll have the cleanest wash on the block! (as if you didn't before :-)

    Here is the 1970 Mark XII version.  I picked this up a couple of years ago to get the green cabinet for a '69 Mark XII (pic 4).

  This is so cool - congrats on getting it going again.  I've only seen a couple of newer Versatronic ranges around here, nothing this age though.  Keep us posted on the performance.
