By all means I plan to drop by that hardware store and pick up a few more packages of it just to have on hand. It is becoming scarce around here although I'm sure I could still find it online if I tried. I did come to realize after using it in the C50, that from now on I will adhere to the...

Stan, you were right... ....DipIt cleaned the pot! I was really surprised. I thought it might take a bit out BUT it cleaned the pot beautifully. It sure made a believer out of me. The pot now makes a very fine, robust cup of coffee. Now of course, it won't be used as a daily driver with the...

I took a chance on this C-50 and I do think I lucked out. It runs super. However, the bottom pot has a few coffee stains in it that I have tried repeatedly to remove with vinegar and baking soda. I have met with no success although I remove a bit with each treatment. I just found DipIt in a...

Nice Plymouth Stan... ....Is it a 52? I remember them quite well. Thanks for sharing. House is still in need or more "things" (Ha-Ha) the latest of which is a Sunbeam C-50 Coffeemaster. Works great. More to chat about but am in a bit of a mad rush right now. Chat with you soon.

Started to think..... ....that just maybe I was beginning to carry my fascination with the 50s and 60s a little too far until I recently saw a segment on just that on TLC. It gave me a real shot (of renewed enthusism and gusto) in the arm NOW I just might be well on my way to becoming the male...

Norgeway ...Thanks for your suggestion. If I fail tomorrow, that is a very good way to go. I'm just blown away that the paint can be matched up. I always thought that those painted Sunbeams were in a category all their own. Well. after reading what you and Kelly say, I have a totally different...

another shot.... ....of the mixer showing left side in which the only outstanding blemish/scuff mark (just above the "Mixmaster" emblem) can be seen. Oh and missing the speed dial which was also shattered. It's a wonder it works at all!

Kelly.... .....Thanks for your thoughts about that base. Would it help if I heated the bakelite first? I will try just what you say this weekend when Chris is here to lend me a little moral support AND an extra hand. ((--:: Those bowls look fantastic AND exactly the same shade as the mixer...

I'm asking if anyone has any idea/s as to how I would attempt to "snap" this portion of the bakelite base on this Sunbeam mixer back into place without causing further fracturing. I have already tried with my thumbs to push it back into place but it won't budge and because I didn't want to cause...

My baby... ....that I bought new in 69 and is once again running the I-10 outside of PS-- My Olds 442 convertible. It was parked from 86 till Sept. 2009 and never once turned over.

OKay, one of my....... ..baby's is up at the house. A 69 442 convertible that believe it or not, I bought new in San Francisco in 69! There is quite a story behind the car (and a hell of a lot of memories) and for those of you who by chance saw it at the cabin, well...... I parked it at the...

Wanted this pic to be different.... ...like Al said--just the thing (50s pastel sheets) for those old washers of yours. I wanted to picture these being pulled down an around by one of those big old roto swirls but am excited at their arrival so a group shot of them all in their original pastic...

I'm most glad to hear... ....that a lot of you enjoy my little updates on this house I never thought I'd ever have in my lifetime and want you all to know that I will keep on posting until, well..........! Thank you all for your support and encouragement. I thought I'd have more things at this...

Totally shocked... I was totally shocked to hear of Terry's passing. He was a dear, kind, and loving soul and a joy to meet and converse with. I always looked forward to reading his posts as he was always so positive and always had something nice to say about the subject at hand. Always. I...

Just about time to say good-bye Just want to say how much I have appreciated all your comments about my new place during the run of this thread which has been rather long. I am constantly adding and doing things to the house which I'd love everyone to see (especially my old vintage cars at the...

Stocking stuffer.... Thanks Terry. Christmas was just wonderful as I hope it was for everyone. New Years was spent with a horrific cold which is still not over. Just a little something for my kitchen that was hanging out of the top of my stocking. It runs super but of course I will watch that...

and the last one. Merry Christmas everyone and a very Happy and Healthy New Year to all!

I've ended up decorating about every nook and cranny of the house including the atrium and the back patios. There is a total of nine decorated trees throughout the house.

I've been quite busy the last couple of weeks to ensure that the house is festive and happy for the 2011 holidays. Last year the holidays weren't all that they usually are so this year I'm making up for last year's loss. The tree is live and will be planted when I finally decide to take all the...
