never mind- found the link in the other forum...

Sarah: Tell about the modern Elkay sink.... is it stainless double bowl with drainboards? Dimensions? Since I cannot find a way to get our Youngstown porcelain sink refinished- might be an option.

Here are some photos of the Americana I bought last week - after cleaning. It took 2 days of scrubbing and removing rust to get it looking like this. Unfortunately, the before photos did not turn out. Just picture it covered with surface rust and mold and you will get the idea. It is now in our...

Sarah- I answered your question about this on the Americana post- but I agree with goatfarmer's comment about leaving it upright. Just be sure the front faces the back of the truck- and that you wrap it carefully and completely- or you will have a yucky bug-fest on the side facing forward! This...

Sarah- My vote is for the Frigidaire - I always prefer the 'unusual' - why have what everyone else does!?!

Sarah: Linda actually really likes the Americana! I am surprised and happy about that. The seller and his young (20 something) nephew helped me get it into my small pick-up truck. It fit up against the back of the cab between the wheel wells. covered it up and tied it in very securely. Drove...

Before we married, my wife had just purchased a new top-of-the-line dishwasher - I can't recall the brand for her home in another town. She was not happy about leaving it behind in favor of the old 'Superba' at my house - until she used it. She found the old one cleaned better and was just as...

Well- I got it all cleaned up and in place. It seems to be working just fine! I took some pictures, but forgot the camera at home- so will post photos tomorrow. I discovered a trick for removing surface rust (maybe something everyone knows- but it was a new idea for me). Since the finish is...

Sarah: I have two double-bowl enamel sinks with double drainboards - you are welcome to one... BUT … both need to be refinished and I have no idea where to have that done.

A few days ago I bought a 1964 Americana Refrigerator in Calera Alabama (thanks to Sarah Perdue who posted the Facebook Marketplace ad on this site...). Anyway- It was not exactly as shown in the ad, but it does work. It had been stored under a shed roof attached to a barn for 2 years and had...

Thank you so much for posting this pic. I like the door design better on ours- an improvement over the narrow racks in mine- I will see about locating the missing components. Although the fridge was not in the same condition as in the photos in the ad- I am happy with it and anxious to get it...

Hi all--- yes I bought the Americana. It was not as pictured. The photos on Facebook were probably three years old. It has been stored in an open shed attached to a barn sort of building . Very dirty and a good bit of mostly surface rust. The seals are completely black with mold. It does...

Yikes, Sarah! ('competition like me?'...) Anyway- I am going to look at it today.

Sarah - did you get it? I want it too!!!!! (John G in Eutaw!)

Kelly: Thank you so much for posting the photo of the bars. I wondered what it was supposed to look like. Combo52 mentioned once that if I could send a photo- perhaps he could help locate something like it. Our defrost timer is not working- and wife is getting very annoyed about manual...

Hi! Your refrigerator looks just like ours- but opens on the other side - sorry to read about your troubles in the other post. I hope you can get the fan situation resolved. I have been amazed at how many people on this site have this particular model fridge and are working hard to keep them...

I suspected something was not right when the fan never stopped during the test. I followed the wiring diagram - the color of the wires matched the instructions with the part - and the old timer had color-coded dots that match the new part. Maybe the new one is defective. I hope the local guy...

I am finally posting a reply to Combo52's suggestion that I try to manually force a defrost cycle. I rotated the timer as he suggested and heard the 'click' that he told me would occur. The service manual indicates that the fan in the freezer would not run when the fridge is in defrost mode...

Love your Foodarama!

I thought I'd share a few photos with the group as it is nice to find others who might appreciate our 'dream kitchen' and adjacent butler's pantry. The room was added to our 1850s house in 1928- and it was completely empty when we bought it 22 years ago. That left us free to do whatever we...
