We still have a few of those Safeway's in Vancouver Feels like I'm a kid again shopping with my Grandparents when I go inside.... http://maps.google.ca/maps?layer=c&cbll=49.262714,-122.888548&cbp=12,,,1,&ved=0CBoQ2wU&sa=X&ei=nVNdS8iTIZK-jQPpxqGuCQ

Hydrofluoric Acid Be very very careful using HF!! Although HF is considered a weak acid, it has some unique properties that make it dangerous to handle. It is easily absorbed by the skin and reacts strongly with calcium. Problem is that skin contact often goes unnoticed because it is painless...

Saw this posted and thought I would pass it along in case anyone was interested.....not sure what the problem is they are referring to. http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/zip/912428263.html

I'm really sorry to hear that you've developed osteopenia at such a young age. Most certainly a side effect of the prednisone. I hope that the doctor explained this risk to you before prescribing it as you are now at a high risk of developing osteoporosis later in life. You also REALLY need to...

Very powerful medicine for treating asthma and severe allergies. Quite the wonder drug. It is really terrible for your bones however and is hard on the stomach. Also really stimulates the appetite and your body doesn't cope well if use is discontinued suddenly. That's why they wean you off it...

Inglis perhaps (we have a new one in Canada)..... http://www.inglis.ca/flash/front_load/en/index.html

Inglis was actually a separate company at that time - Whirlpool did not manufacture for them. Inglis had it's own manufacturing facilities in Canada. Whirlpool had purchased a 33% ownership in Inglis in 1969, increasing it to over 50% in 1985, 71% in 1987. Because of this relationship, Inglis...

Appearance of the tub brake / non indexing tub was probably due to differences between Canadian and US safety legislation at the time. Perhaps Canada had made it mandatory prior to the US.

I lived in an apartment at one time that had older Kelvinator appliances. The dishwasher and fridge were identical to Vikings my grandparents had so Eatons did definitely source from WCI at some points along their existence. I know that later Vikings up until the end however were definitely...

Grandparents had a really old Viking dryer, older than this. It had the lint filter trap on top like a Whirlpool/Inglis but was definitely not made by them. No start button. As soon as you turned the dial, the machine started. Three buttons in the middle for reg, delicate & fluff I think. No...

Found this in Craigslist in case anyone is interested. Looks to be circa 1960's, maybe made by GE for Eatons? http://vancouver.craigslist.org/hsh/454888155.html

Saw this on the local Craigslist site and was sure someone would want it - especially at that price! http://vancouver.craigslist.org/zip/378445902.html

I'd spend the money and buy a new Speed Queen.....

I have a Inglis (Whirlpool) 110V apartment sized dryer that I have been using for years. I just got a brand new GE 110V dryer today but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Anyone have an opinion on which works better? It seems that the capacity in the GE is bigger and the top exhaust option...

GE's really aren't all that bad......... The older Filter Flo design was actually very reliable, easy to fix and did a great job washing clothes. The post 1995 GE's apparently have had some reliability issues but I think it just comes down to how well you take care of the machine. I've had a...

I've seen a apartment sized single tub Hoover automatic washing machine. It was white, probably 24" wide and controls were on the backsplash like a full size washer. Can't remember if it was on wheels or not but it looked like it was produced sometime in the 1970's

No matter what anyone says about GE, they have always made fantastic dishwashers. True, the old ones were loud but they have improved this significantly over the past couple years. They are reliable workhorses and do a great job cleaning dishes. At the other end of the spectrum are...

I use an old electric Sunbeam twin-blade lawnmower that works fantastic! It's small size makes it ideal for smaller lawns. I assume it was manufactured sometime in the 60's (bright orange color) but it still works like new. If you can get a hold of one, I'd say grab it. Parts are still available...

The Zenith looks similar to an old Viking dryer my grandparents had. The console was shaped exactly the same and had the same two chrome posts with an indent down the middle. It did also have the lint filter on the top although the filter itself was not similiar to a Whirlpool filter so I don't...

Did Caloric ever make washers & dryers? I've seen stoves, fridges & dishwashers but I don't recall if I've ever seen laundry appliances...... Does anyone remember when they were wound down and who bought them out?
