Chad! No problem!!!! I'm glad it started! I'm not a mechanic by any means, BUT anything that CAN go wrong with a car has happened to me. I got introduced to neutral safety switch issues on a Pontiac Sunbird from HELL. I had an 86 Toyota Corolla that had an intermittant starting problem. It...

car issues.... so it's totally dead or won't start? If it cranks and won't start you're probably looking at timing belt or ignition module. If it doesn't crank probably battery, starter, or nuetral safety switch. With your foot on the brake, put the car in nuetral and see if it starts. If it...

thanks Rich. I love it as well. Veg.. Good eye! I got that Westinghouse combo off of eBay awhile back. There was a post about it on AK. Not too bad of a unit, altho the turntable doesn't work. Would be neet if I could figure it out and get it going. Westinghouse always made the strangest, yet...

and yes gyrafoam... my other grandma had a toster like that and it is indeed a GE toaster oven. I think it's from the late 40's.

jasonl-- I'll have to try and get more pix once I have the basement organized. I looked at the posted pix and saw I have a row of Zeniths. The first set is a 1965 Zenith "roundie" then the 1975 Chromacolor 2, and next to it is a 19" 1972 Chromacolor. It has the 4 tube hybrid chassis. I also have...

Ben, I have a few sets that need a new home... LOL! And I use a push-mower, but I am getting OLD and need a rider!!!

Thanks tlee618! I can't take credit for the colors. I lucked out and loved the taste of the former owners, so I have not repainted a thing. (which is good as I tend to be lazy that way) I'm happy the kitchen isn't too small, as the house itself is tiny. I don't know if you can tell, but if you...

Thank you Greg for taking & posting these pictures for me! (I really need to get a digital camera and actually learn how to use it and post pictures) I bought this house (my first) last year. It's a small bungalow built in 1922 It was cared for well and had the same owner for 57 years. I bought...

Spats! I thought I recognizsed that set. Moyers should have it, but if you can get ANY cross reference numbers I might have one. I checked on the numbers you gave me on AK, and couldn't match it up, but I'm sure one of mine have to work. If it does, you can have one. (Gotta keep those Zeniths...

Cool Pictures! Mine is the longer/slow stroke.

LOL! My washer/dryer pair came with the house, so they are not vintage. They are late 90's-early 2000's Amana Designer Series. I like them (especially the dryer) The washer sometimes tangles my clothes and I'm not amused by that....

Nice to be "meeting" all of you so far! Ben, Was nice seeing you again, and hope to see you the next time you're in Omaha. I'll see if I can get Greg to snap some pix for me. You already have seen the fridge I have. He parted with that Frigidaire in his garage I had been lusting over for years...

It's a front loader. They've kept it because of the butcher block top. The kitchen is an odd galley style. It's in an L shape with the kitchen sink in the front of the kitchen,(on the short wall) then along one wall runs the counter, then the dishwasher, stove, fridge, washer & dryer are ALL...

right now she has a 1968 era Maytag washer/dryer pair. A 1978 era Amana fridge and a 1968 Frigidire Imperial portable dishwasher. The diswasher hasn't been used in ages, but did work when they quit using it. The Maytag washer works but is starting to have major issues.

I'm not too appliance savvy and wanted to get some opinions. I knew I shouldn't have done this, but I had a 5 year old Kenmore (I think Frigidaire made it) Flat-top oven/range that came with my house. I gave it to my mom as I have all 50's stuff in my kitchen now. Anyway... she is a big-time...

will get them posted soon. I don't have a digital camera so will have a friend take pix for me.

I'm not "with it" on newer appliances, but GE's are junk now? That washer and dryer pair aren't very old are they? They look just like the ones I was looking at at Home Depot the other day. It sucks that they both have issues if they aren't that old. I remember tho, when my parents had a house...

Hi, I've posted on a few things the last few weeks and realized I hadn't introduced myself. I'm Jamie from Omaha. I've met a few of the member here. I started off collecting vintage TV's and radios. My Uncle had a Zenith TV sales/service shop in the 70's, so that started my interest. I have...

I thought Regina had been out of business for ages? I had a Regina upright and LOVED it and then all of a sudden NO bags to be found for it. Anywhere. I have an Oreck now and hate it.

I replaced my heating & cooling system this summer. I have natural gas forced heat. (as most people do here in Omaha) Will be interesting to see what my gas will be. (hopefully lower) I have a small 1922 bungalow with old windows. It must be insulated well tho because the house never seems...
