In my area, shelters, rescue operations, and adoption centers all advertise on other platforms in addition to FB.  The Nextdoor site and other feeds regularly post pet listings and announcements for "overstock" events when all adoption fees are waived, etc.   I can't say I was surprised to learn...

DOWN With FB! Count your goddamned blessings!   The entities you want to deal with should have a presence outside of a single platform if they are truly interested in providing customer service, and their overall business acumen is questionable.  I would boycott them instead of navigating an...

Hi Wendy,   I'm not the expert that John is, but I think it would be wise to retain access to the evaporator coils until you can determine whether the defrost cycle is actually happening and the heating element is melting the condensate.    Also, I had a +/- 1970 Whirlpool frostless top...

The replies are definitely causing confusion, particularly regarding fans.  Now that it has been established that this isn't a Frost Guard (which was my immediate suspicion per the OP), I'd like to clarify that non-Frost Guard GE Combinations have just one (external) fan, which creates a "forced...

This discussion has gotten me wondering.  Do new cars still come with an owner's manual (book)?  I'm thinking of Tesla in particular, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's accessed via the despicable screens that I'll wager have made everything more cumbersome, time consuming and distracting than...

"If you want it on paper print it yourself."   Matt, that is exactly what I do for certain purchases.  For me, locating instructions in a real life manila folder is far more convenient and expeditious than firing up my laptop, and infinitely easier to work with than fumbling with a tiny phone...

Thank Apple's arrogance for the disappearance of user guides/owners' manuals.    These days, it's just about pushing buttons (or tapping on screens) and figuring things out for yourselves.  We have been forced to accept this, because as we all know, fighting City Hall is a cakewalk compared to...

I wouldn't even consider a TL machine if there's a king size comforter involved.  I've seen examples on this site and elsewhere on line of the large Duet washers that are 20 years old (or nearly) and are still working fine.    Our 2007 Duet HT was the best washer I've ever owned.  We only left...

I agree with Tom that the Harper burners are a big plus on that range.  I had no idea the those burners were still around into the coppertone era.  I had a couple of mid '30s Wedgewoods that had Harper's "Speed and Simmer" burners and they were a pleasure to use.

Dryer That's a true 1975 version of the matching washer.  The the location of the selector knobs tells the tale.  I hope Melvin gets this one.  It's not easy to put together a matching set of this rare pair.

Robert, I've surfed past this video a few times in the past week due to its length.  Thanks for advising on how far to FF for the reveal.  I absolutely hate my LG smart-ass TV, so any avoidable functions are appreciated. 

Dean, thanks for sharing that good troubleshooting info.    I'm glad to see so much interest in this rare bird from Kenmore's line-up.  It's full-featured but has an understated console like the models further down the line.  I always felt that the LK models from this period were over-wrought...

James, I really wished we could have bought the matching gas dryer for my mom's washer.  Instead, the highly inferior matching dryer to the replaced Snorge washer remained in place for another 15 years or so.  Its ignition module was noisy, like pencils were tumbling around inside the drum, and...

P.S.   Melvin, I forgot to ask:  why is this model infamous?  I apply that term to the '67 Norge that it replaced -- not a moment too soon.

Bob, this is the model I helped my mom pick out in 1975 (they apparently didn't sell well; knobs above the console indicate model year 1974).  I'm pretty sure this machine was one notch below the Lady Kenmore.  Features included Quiet Pak transmission, Soak Selector for soak only or soak with...

Thanks Pete.    The handles aren't as shiny as the ones on my two aluminum Prestos of the same design (which should always be washed by hand), and I also have a stainless 4-quart Presto with the '60s/'70s style straight brown handle.  The lower handle is loose on that one too, but less so.  ...

In Henrik's recent thread I mentioned the 6-quart stainless Presto I recently picked up at a thrift store.  It works perfectly and attains pressure quickly, but the part of the handle that's attached to the pot is loose.  The single screw that holds it in place is somewhat rusted and will not...

Congratulations Henrik! I love my pressure cookers!  They're fun to use and your description of what they can do is spot-on!  My vintage ones are the cookers I use most often, and all but one were purchased at thrift stores.  I have sizes ranging from 4 quarts to 12 quarts, all are Presto stove...

After contacting the seller via text as instructed in the listing verbiage, I've heard nothing.  I'm skeptical about this fridge being operational and won't be pursuing it any further.  If by any chance the seller does reply and confirms it cools properly, I'll provide an update.

Good question, Eddie.  I've never seen mold that color, but it could be the trim material that effected the hue.    No replies on the MT forum yet, nor is there very much in the way of vintage Philco discussions.  One thing I'm thinking is that the supposed second cold control is actually some...
