This was an amazing technology for its time. Problem is that it wasn't very adaptable to wider slots (so bagels are a problem both because of thickness and the sensor seems to target the hole...). There was one in the condo we bought....I had the realtor hide it at our walkthrough...lol

Saw an interesting advertisement on a FB group that popped up in my feed on WT Grant. In 1966, it looks like WT Grant acknowledged that: Refrigerators/Freezers sourced from St. Cloud, MN (Studebaker-Franklin) Washers/Dryers from Webster City, IA (ditto) Other appliances from Minneapolis...

Another couple of things to check: Chambers made/labeled refrigerators in the mid-to-late 50s but was more of a Southern brand. Sears (and perhaps Wards---don't quite recall) also had some of those types of built-in refrigerators in the same period----take a look at the catalogues which are...

I think you are going to have to -not- snap the towels between taking them out of the Samsung and putting them into the dryer----just bung the lot in to get a fair comparison. I'd bet that is 3/4 of the answer there----from TL to dryer, each towel gets opened up/shaken out. In the all-in-one...

Rikes/Shillito Rikes sold major appliances at least until 1987...their warehouse store wasn't far from where I lived in Cincinnati in grad school and had rows and rows of returns. Don't think it was much after that that they discontinued them, though.

Fascinating how pricing differed depending on the distance from the plants....

I'd be tempted if I was going to be in town for the end of the auction. Love me some phosphates!

Imagine there are pushbuttons (5 per element; plus the OFF button) somewhere on that backsplash. Keyboard at that point....

I would be rather skeptical about finding the Thermador version of that (recall that Thermador was LA based and it would be quite unusual to have something as big/bulky shipped cross-country) and concentrate instead on (as mentioned) Sub-Zero (Wisconsin) or Revco (built in Deerfield, MI). You...

No, they want a Frigidaire refrigerator because that is what the family had in their kitchen. As mentioned upthread, they are having the daughter consult on the exhibit to get it right.

intrigued that WP's fetish for un-customized bottom racks (bed of nails all over) got this early start and was a feature to be touted---they have continued 50 years later!

intrigued--apparently Electrolux/Frigidaire sources their 24" wall ovens from their plant in Australia...

Petek: it's already in so I can't see. So to see the unit, there is -no- blanket of shoddy-sheet insulation; all that is there are the adhesive asphaltic panels. It is labeled at 48 dBa and it sounds like that----very slightly quieter than the old one. The bottom rack from the old unit slid...

I've mentioned in bits and pieces our dishwasher saga---we had a 13 year old Bosch 100 series dishwasher which bit the dust earlier in the summer. It was white on white, and was the low-end Ascenta (plastic bottom). Have been entirely happy with it and it appeared to succumb to either a power...

you still see a very few of this vintage KA out in the wild....particularly in our inner-ring suburban area

There are some interesting soap ads in the Duke University advertising archive---interesting line extensions for things like Camay, the ads were used in their test markets (with a telltale "Available in Louisville and surrounding areas" or some-such phrasing).

That Sweetose was a wartime product---1947 was right at the end of sugar rationing and this looks like one way to try to keep some relevance. Recently scanned Better Homes and Gardens from about 1944 through 1947 (times were tough even after the war) and found that Staley (as opposed to...

Maybe they meant blower in both refrigerator and freezer?

Looks like they started moving out of TV/Radio in 1956 in favor of their defense business (making sonobuoys)

That one pictured got me through college, grad school, ....until it shorted out a couple years ago itself. Made it to 43 years. The fayke woode graine peeled in exactly that same corner, even!
