more jealousy and great pictures Great pictures, Phil. Thanks! Now I am even more jealous, Allen. Getting to go behind the scenes and staying with a NASA scientist. I think your nose hit the mark..hot electronics and sweat. A lot of men were locked down in those control rooms sweating out...

cool story! Wow, that is a cool story about your friend's dad! What a privilege to talk to him, and to meet astronauts as well. I am quite jealous, Allen. I would LOVE to have talked with some of the original brains of the space program. What was the scientist's name? It wasn't Max Faget was it?

bearings never had a bearing go out or shredder plate loosen in all the GE series or induction disposers I have had/now have. I did have Maytag (a "real" pren-ISE Maytag) in which one of the impellers came off of the turntable. I probably should have attempted to repair it, but just junked it...

A pre-Dick Van Dyke and pre-MTM Show Mary Tyler Moore is "Happy Hotpoint" and we get to see the Hotpoint double wash dishwasher. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFKOWvtR6Bs

loudness Yes that is the nature of a the beast. When you have power, you area often going to have some noise. While griding, as Rex said, it wasn't much noisier than the conventional induction motor disposers. But as they chamber clears, the rpms increase and you can definitely hear it...

hundreds of reverse rack customers? You may have talked to hundreds of customers over the years, but not hundreds of people with reverse racks. Even if you did that is such a small percentage of the total population in the U.S. that has/had ownership of Reverse Racks, that it is a meaningless...

"hated" ??? Very odd that such a "hated" dishwasher would be in production for 19 years, ha. Manufactures don't market a design for 19 years unless it is popular. What is your data point, Combo52, that Maytag Reverse Racks were hated by "most of their customers?" Please share that data...

GE disposals Hi Bob. General Electric has not manufactured disposers since about 1980. Anything after that time is Annaheim manufactured who paid GE a royalty to stick their logo on their machines. For a brief time in the late eighties and early nineties, Anaheim manufactured a unit with GE's...

Thanks, Jerry. thanks for posting the great pictures, Jerry! By the way, for those of you who haven't watched it, this is a good series. It brings back a lot of memories for me as I grew up in the sixties in a house with similar furnishings and appliances. The set decorator did his...

no proof necessary We trust you, Mark!!

thanks Eugene Hopefully I can find some more good ones.

great screen shots Good screen shots, Phil. I never even noticed the Westinghouse appliance renderings on the wall. You have a good eye!

new construction only??? What is your data source, combo52 that says GE series wound disposers were "only recommended for new construction."? I would like for you to displays that source or give us the reference so we can look it up. My recommendation is just the opposite. The...

open machine There's a scene where Samantha quickly opens the machine to show the inside to Martha Washington, in Part 2 of the episode. A YouTube video of the episode is out there of it but its no good as the bottom of the screen is cut off and (I assume they taped it off of a TV screen and...

have fun with it, Travis Rex said it best. They are "great" machines. I think you will like the batch feed once you get used to it, Travis. They have some advantages. You don't have to push or force things in past the splash guard (since there isn't any.) You just drop them in the hole...

Induction Thanks for the pictures, Travis!! That is an induction motor unit. the induction machines pulled 7.0 amps and GE only put "Heavy Duty" on those machines. General Electric's series-wound machines, of the day, pulled 5.0 - 5.3 amps depending on the production year. They later...

..the real thing! Rex, that is the real thing! A genuine Louisville, KY built "Disposall" built by our own people not the communists in China. (and not by Annaheim Manufacturing in Calif.) I think it is the series-wound motor as well. That's why I wanted to see the manufacturer's label. I...

Maytag RR appearance It was Season 8, Episodes 21 and 22 (a two parter) "George Washington Zapped Here."

cleanability Phil, have you noticed any difference in washability between the direct drive and the belt drive?

1960's disposer Travis, this looks like a mid to late sixties "Disposall". A wonderful garbage disposal. You will love it!! One of the better disposers for fruit pits and bones. Can you give us a close up of the manufacturer's label at the bottom of the unit?
