    Junk store find.

    I use a Chemex on a daily basis, but I have it teamed up with my Bonavita drip machine.  The brew is remarkably smooth as a result of the Chemex filters.  They're expensive compared to other types, but IMO they are worth it.  It works out to about a dime per filter.  Considering what I pay for...

    Are refrigerator defrost timers universal, these days?

    Jamie, you'll probably have to remove the timer motor and check its specs, the part/model number and RPM in particular, and then launch a search for a replacement.  I don't think it should be that hard to find one even in this annoying digital age.

    Beware the Pinkness ...

    I think the Psycho shower scene poster says it all about the person behind this Pepto Bismol horror show/puke fest.

    Oh.   That's very different.   Never mind.

    Mid 90's Amana washer

    Welcome Ellaina,   There shouldn't be any grease on the belt.  I had a '97 Amana and it went through three belts in ten years.  It's probably best to replace the belt and make sure that the pulleys are free of grease before installing the new one.  Others here can advise on a possible source...

    Vintage Gold Seal Mangle

    This is up for grabs (AKA free) on Nextdoor classifieds.  I've contacted the poster to ask whether it's in working order.  I have room for it in the basement.   Can anyone provide information on it, or are all mangles more or less alike?

    Look at what's in the kitchen

    Eddie is right.  In my area, the land alone could go for $1,000,000 in any number of neighborhoods, and the house would absolutely be a scrape job, no question about it.

    GE Jet 105 Microwave.

    We had that same microwave in the rather posh rental home we lived in near Los Gatos before we bought our own place, which we knew would be a relative dump.  The kitchen had been redone with all GE equipment in the '80s, oak cabinetry, and a dropped ceiling with an oak grid to hold the textured...

    Worse invention of last 30yrs...

    I agree that LED street lighting is even less effective than the yellow low pressure sodium vapor types that they're gradually replacing around here, but the headlights are a huge problem that needs to be addressed.  Teslas are the worst offenders.  Their headlights seem to be maladjusted at the...

    I don't know if I would or wouldn't want to see the kitchen that came out of.

    It's That Time Of Year Again! What Is Your AC Thermostat Set To?

    106 at my place right now (per the Wunderground station around the corner.  That's seven degrees higher than forecast and it's only 4 PM.  Thermostat set at 76.  I may sleep at my buddy's tonight because he likes it cold, and I can give my AC system a rest.    I sure hope the intensity of this...

    It's That Time Of Year Again! What Is Your AC Thermostat Set To?

    Upper 90s are forecast for Wednesday and Thursday, followed by mid 90s for a few more, then lower 90s by next week.  So far this year, the forecast high temperatures have consistently been lower than the actual ones.  I'm anticipating triple digits.  Low temps will only get down to 70 on Tuesday...

    It's That Time Of Year Again! What Is Your AC Thermostat Set To?

    I'm in a similar situation to Eddie, but I have zero shade and the front of the house has original 1922 windows that face southwest.  They are architecturally specific and would cost a fortune to replace with double panes.  I keep the blinds closed on all windows except in the back of the house...

    Pink Hotpoint Silhouette Washer and Dryer

    Lawrence, either the image Robert posted above pre-dates shooting for the Dick Van Dyke Show, or they found a striking look-alike for Happy Hotpoint and mercifully gave her a stylish outfit complete with Laura Petrie hair.  I suspect there are experts among us who can advise.

    Free Maytag

    Dryer My mom had the matching 1974 washer in white with selector knobs on the top of the console instead of the front.  With the Quiet-Pak transmission, Penta-Swirl agitator, Soak-n-Wash feature with automatic detergent dispenser, along with bleach and softener dispensers, they were just a...

    GE Wall Refrigerator - pink - thoughts?

    Shawn, feel free to shoot me a message.  I'll share any info I can provide.  Also, there's a literature library that you can access here.  Click the last icon on the right at the top of the page.  It might contain something useful like a brochure, owner's guide or service manual.  You can...

    GE Wall Refrigerator - pink - thoughts?

    Here's a link to the gasket site.  The door gaskets these GE's use is the "bubble" type.  There are no magnets in them since GE used the alnico type magnets that are adjustable to assure proper sealing.  You can see the metal plates where the door-mounted magnets make contact at the bottom of...

    Admiral 1957 Refrigerator defrost concept

    Even though the first ten years of the GE Combination models were not completely frost free, their freezers maintained zero degree temperatures and that, along with their counter depth design is why I like them.  My single door '52 Kelvinator has a seal on its full-width freezing compartment...

    I Remember Those Sunsweet Ads! Sunsweet's headquarters were located in the heart of downtown San Jose at Market and San Antonio Streets for many decades.  A brown blade sign with yellow neon hung on the corner of the building.  It's long gone, as Sunsweet followed the French prune orchards to...
