Thanks Matt.  I'd never heard of this test before.  I'll check out my vintage K-45 and adjust accordingly if necessary.   We're winding down from citrus overload in these parts.  I gave the neighbors a box of this year's exceptionally sweet and flavorful navel oranges from my tree and they...

Hey Matt,   What's the dime test?

It just occurred to me that the laundry sink faucet is really slow on both hot and cold sides.  I'll have to tear into this deeper than I thought when typing the reply above.

Thanks John,   There has been a serious fill problem for a while with incoming hot water to the Maytag 712, which shares split hot and cold spigots with the Neptune.  I had turned down the flow from the cold spigot in order to maintain a reasonably warm water flow into the 712, but I'm...

It's hard to believe that this stacking set is about a month shy of its 21st birthday, but lately it seems to showing signs of its age.   With heavier loads, the washer has been stopping and shutting off at the start of rinse cycles, sometimes after filling, others when draining.  I've not yet...

OK Roger, here are a couple of links for you.  The "Kit-Cat Klock Motor" thread contains my instructions in reply #7.  These instructions were sourced from the Telechron Clocks forum and I have used them to revive a number of H3 rotors.   This link directly below shows the rotor and coil...

It looks like you'll need to decide which of the stoves you want to use.  I like the simplicity of the Speedster, but the Stratoliner is a real beauty and I'm with you re: the preference for another 8" burner.   If the clock is all that's wrong with the Speedster, that's an easy fix, as it's...

We had plans to view it, although they weren't even remotely as elaborate as yours.  Unfortunately, we've been dealing with the lion's side of March and while skies had cleared by early evening, cloud cover had moved in by 11:30, when totality had been reached.    Seeing as how I've seen my...

This is not the first time I've heard about similar issues with Tesla solar roof panels.  Word around Silicon Valley since they became available years ago has been to steer clear of Tesla panels, and as of late, Tesla vehicles as well -- albeit for very different reasons. 

Dan, I was comparing Emerson fans to GE Monitor Tops, but I think your Maytag reference is more appropriate.   I appreciate the suggestions from you and J for a makeshift work bench, but the logistics just aren't workable for the time being.  This could become a project I can pursue in a few...

Thanks for the input guys.   It's those tiny parts that can be easily lost and their precise placement that concerns me.  I don't have a good work bench scene currently, so any work at all will need to wait for a dedicated space.  For now I just want to learn more about these impressive fans...

Well Tom, if there's anything I've learned by reading about Emerson fans is that they are way over-built and seem to run forever.      The other thing I learned is that as a result of their precise but complex engineering, any disassembly or full tear-down should be done by an experienced...

This fan was free on the "Buy Nothing" site.  I haven't done anything to it other than fool with its oscillation adjuster, which is one of its interesting features.  It runs and oscillates smoothly and quietly.  It's far quieter than my 12" GE Vortalex, which is about 20 years newer and a lot...

Stan, I rarely use this site's app on my phone (I hate dealing with a miniature screen as much as I do using apps in general due to their security issues in addition to their random and unruly behaviors) but the on line version has a search field that's "enhanced by Google" and it will indeed...

Cory, if there's an independent appliance parts retailer in your area, call and ask if they can send elements out and have a new replica made.  I did that twice for the bake element on my mom's '49 Westinghouse.  The last time I ordered one was +/- 2005.  I walked into the sales area with...

Pete, our range did exhaust to the outside through a modified foundation vent.  The house was built in 1957 and the kitchen didn't have an exhaust fan.  The JennAir's exhaust run was about 15' long.    

The pictured range is of 1980s vintage if not older.  We installed the 1990 dual fuel version of this range (with blue LED digital clock/readout) and used it for almost 18 years before we sold the house.  We bought an extra module with two gas burners because we rarely used the grill.  Due to...

Cory has replied to the other post/thread with some advice.

I recall reading something recently about Kodak making a comeback as well.
