Sarah's Oven Picture My repainted oven. BTW, some of y'all gave me some ideas for the date on this when I first joined the forum. I didn't realize the thread would disappear so soon and didn't print or save it. Can y'all refresh me on your ideas for my oven's birthday? And that gold to...

oven painting My GE wall ovens (we're guessing '60s) were painted from dark brown to almond by a local painter who used automotive paint and a professional spray system. I thought they had been re-enameled at first glance. They were painted before we bought the house, but they look pretty good...

Problem solved And since I hate hearing that and wondering what the answer was, I'll tell you: The mystery piece is a tensioner that goes in the hole on the gearbox cover behind a small spring. It puts tension on the armature and keeps the speed constant. Sarah

Hi Everyone, While opening my model 12 to regrease the gears, I tried to be very careful and take each piece out and remember where it goes, but I found a spare on my workbench. It's a small maybe 1/8 long piece of cylindrical black plastic with a groove in one end. It's very short--1/8-1/4 and...

oiling your MM Hi, Also, oil it while it is running. The first time be generous with the oil and be sure to include the juicer port on top of the mixer to the right of the handle. I've been told by other mixer collectors that often you can increase the range of speed with a good oiling. You...

Oh, boy, oh baby I think I need these...except for the oven. As cool as it is, I can't let go of my '60's GE double electric. Hmmm, maybe I could paint it turquoise to match? Planning a trip to Atlanta... Sarah

I don't know. I disassembled it because it stopped working. I think the drive shaft probably needed some grease or lubrication, but I'm not sure. I took it apart about ten years ago and never finished. After ten years, I'm conceding that I'm not ever goingt to fix it--especially with two little...

Works great as a grease spotter I use Dawn as a grease spotter and it works great. I've never had problems with too many suds. I squirt a little on then brush or rub and wash. Sarah

the cooktop At my request (twice) they finally posted a picture the cooktop but didn't include the controls...the controls are probably (from a vintage perspective) the coolest part. Sarah

Check this out. I'm not sure I like the seller's attitude, but the very cool oven needs a good home. Sarah http://cgi.ebay.com/OKeefe-Merritt-Twenty-four-24-inch-wall-oven_W0QQitemZ7592406192QQcategoryZ71317QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

originally brown I know the painter who did them. He also incorrectly replaced the glass in the bottom door, and it cracked. I believe they were brown before because there's a nick in the paint on the upper oven, and it looks brown below. Although now I realize that Jerry (the painter) may have...

Caloric stove door Toggleswitch, You might be able to get a replacement for your door from The Old Appliance Club. They claim to have warehouses full of old stove parts. Sarah http://www.antiquestoves.com/toac/index.htm

my beautiful GE wall ovens Hi Y'all, I'm enjoying the input and loving the double oven. Left my Viking at the last house and haven't looked back...well, except for the cooktop. I can't wait to replace the new "Frigidaire from hell" electric glass top with virtually anything gas... But I...
