The HoH rebuild thread. Here is my above-referenced thread. Thanks for the reference! The Halo of Heat design is not without its flaws, but I love them and find them to be superior performers, especially with the electronic control. Dave...

Welcome! That unit is far beyond neat! I'm working on a 1934 GE Monitor Top for my kitchen right now. What refrigerant does yours use? With a remote compressor, that should be one quiet fridge. I am looking forward to following your progress! Dave

Holtman's CircleW, there is a Holtman's in Over the Rhine near me and I love it! High quality doughnuts that make you want to just walk right in. Dave

Update. I installed the GE Quirky Aros 8,000 BTU in a tenant's upstairs apartment. It seem sto be better built than the Haier ACs from Costco or the Sharps I also have. It seems to work fine, but it is a fancy control unit on a standard AC unit. It is no quieter than any other. I ordered a...

Let me see. I will have to see. I have a cousin who is about to have a baby who I will have to visit shortly, so I may not have the available time off of work. I'll try though! Dave

Got it! The scent reminds me of 1980s dishwasher detergent. True to the advertising, it rinsed out beautifully and left the cloths smelling clean! I am looking forward to putting it through it s paces. Dave

I am in need of a few window air conditioners for a few applications and I thought I'd bounce my ideas here. I just ordered a Quirky / GE Aros smart air conditioner to try it out. My goal is to install it in an apartment I own but include utilities in the rent. That way I can save money by...

It's about time I tried some of this. I just ordered 2 boxes to try it out for the first time. I know it is a product of one or some of our members, but I don't know who. What is the story behind how it came to be? What might the recommended dosage to start off be in a regular capacity...

Hauling stuff. While in grad school, my girlfriend at the time bought an art deco wardrobe. It fit in the back of my 2002 Saab 9-3 hatchback without having to be dismantled. Now I have a 2008 Honda Element as my backup car. It will hold a washer and a dryer in the back. It's the best Volvo...

Still awaiting parts. Gas engines can be a pain! Dave

Sunbeam! Thanks Matt! In my previous searches, I could find nothing. I tried again, and it was a Sunbeam! Now to find one... Dave

Waffle Iron. I would love to find a waffle iron like my folks had when I was little. It was either a GE or a Sunbeam. It was wide. The waffles were 4 panels, all in a row. I believe the plates could be removed and flipped over to use it as a flat sandwich grill. Has anyone ever seen one of...

Honda Engine, etc. I would buy the Honda engine, but it's close to $500, whereas parts to fix the rather nice B&S are only about $170. The shaft got bent because I was mowing an abandoned property and happened upon a section of chain link fence that had become buried in the tall grass. It...

Nice! Are these the only 1st generation Electronic Lady Kenmores in captivity? I have a 2nd gen set in rough shape, and a 3rd gen washer that looks good, but is untested. Dave

Repair vs. Replace. The version I have is about $400.00 to replace with the same engine. I can fix it for about $180.00 in parts. It's the model with the oil pump and oil filter. My yard is small but mostly steep hills. The sections which are not steep hills are REALLY steep hills! I...

Well, I managed to bend the crankshaft on my Snapper lawnmower. The shop said it's cheaper for them to replace the engine than it is for them to replace the crankshaft. Since the engine is low-hours, I think I'll dive right in and replace the crankshaft myself. Has anyone ever replaced the...

I've used one of those before! Elginkid has one. I have used it in the rinse sinks when using his Speed Queen wringer to wash. The plunger makes short work of rinsing. Dave

Paper Clip Yes, that is the part. It sounds odd, but the end-of-signal chime is an integral part of the shutoff process for this dryer. Good Luck, Dave

Access. You flip the washer onto its back and remove the front panel. Spin the main pulley so the inner tub spins around until the transmission has come to a stop with the flat front cover plate facing the front of the washer (up). You can then remove the cover plate without spilling all of...

Nice Touch! That is impressive! Now perhaps we can reproduce those oblong paper stickers that came on the tops of Kenmore dryers and still show up, but don't age gracefully! Dave
