Another Resource The Monitor Top Forum is another resource.  There is a section for other types of refrigerators besides Monitor Tops.  Link is below.   I had a '57 GE upright Combination fridge like the one mentioned above.  The temperature control seemed to be a common weak point on these...

Paul, my '52 Kelvinator has a flap in the back too.  It's not adjustable; it's either flipped down or up.  I quickly found out that keeping the flap in the down position (blocking the colder air from the freezer compartment from dropping down the back of the fresh food section) was the best...

GE's wall mounted type of refrigerator has its merits, particularly if floor space is at a premium in your kitchen, but as others have stated, they don't hold much.  Since you wouldn't be making the repairs yourself, you are facing two big hurdles:  1) Finding a repair person who would even...

I associate Dr. Pepper's flavoring with black cherry.  I've never picked up on a prune juice taste.   The only drink I liked that had prune juice in it was Ocean Spray's Cran-Prune.  It's disappeared from store shelves decades ago, likely due to the stigma of prune juice.  Even Mariani's, a...

For some reason, I think of Dick Clark being associated with my memories of print and television ads for hot Dr. Pepper.  I also remember Lorraine Newman promoting HDP in a SNL skit.  I tried it once with some friends many years ago just for kicks and wasn't impressed.  For quirk factor, it was...

Not so hot? I'm guessing that "Creamy" means cream soda, which is far too sweet for my taste.  I can't even imagine what the coconut part tastes like, but highly doubt there is any natural flavoring behind either of them.  If this is the case, they shouldn't even be calling it Dr. Pepper, which...

I'm surprised that new oven elements were/are so difficult to come by for this range.  The independent appliance parts retailer near me had no problem recognizing the failed bake element from my mom's 1949 Westinghouse range and sending it out to be matched up by a manufacturer who produced a...

I thought Bosch owned/revived Thor.  Am I getting Thor confused with Th(ermad)or?

I like the front-loading combo located next to the TV.  With so few options on TV back then, you could always run a load of laundry for entertainment.

Thanks Tim.  That I have on hand!  Now to find a plant.

Thanks Pete and Tim! I never knew rhubarb did well without full sun.  I'll give it another try in a more appropriate spot, but will probably have to wait until next year to find a plant.  I have read that stalks should be harvested by pulling rather than cutting, but I've never had that...

Thanks Barry!   I've given up on straightening out the ones that came with it, and the prices + shipping on eBay are ridiculous.   Stand by for a message!

Mmmmmmm! Rhubarb Pie! After three attempts, I have not been able to get a rhubarb plant to establish itself.  If I can find plants at a nursery I assume it's supposed to grow here, but seeing as how the majority of replies to the OP are from east of the Rockies, I suppose that's where it...

A Beauty In Stunning Condition That stove was owned by a highly accomplished homemaker!  It's a total steal and  really do hope it finds a loving home.

The best disposer I've ever had was a Maytag from around 1990.  It was a continuous feed type and IIRC the model number was F-5.  The literature claimed it could actually grind nails.  We never tried that, of course, but considering how it handled everything else we fed it, I wouldn't doubt that...

Thanks John!

I picked up a nice pink GE mixer with color-coordinated line cord recently, but the inserting ends of both beaters were bent and I've had unsatisfactory results trying to straighten them.  In addition, one of the beaters is difficult to insert into either receptacle and it appears to have...

We had an ~'85 Whirlpool SxS and more than once we had an issue with the defrost drain becoming clogged.  Something as small as an escaped frozen pea sitting on the drain opening was enough.  Fortunately, the drain was easily accessible by pulling out the storage basket at the bottom of the...
