Hmmm... A hundred million years ago when wild poodles prowled the plains, I worked as a Software Engineer for a library automation firm. You know, the ole online card catalog? A considerable amount of our work was for LBPH, Library For The Blind And Physically Handicapped. It was great...

Pete, I like that style of Olympia...function...smart, subtly stylish. I also like the red repeat keys!

Jim....will do... Give me a couple of days, as I'm rearranging things around here. But will do. And you're right, I was surprised as to how quiet it is! I just love the little guy....now to find the matching dryer! :) John

Shooting holes in my post Robert (Unimatic1140) said: In Iowa it is much harder to amend the state constitution than it is in California. The earliest the legislature could put something like that on the ballot would be Nov 2011, and right now both the state house and senate are saying no...

Hey Cory.... Yeah, I want to see the keypunch machine....and you wouldn't have a 1401 RAMAC system by chance, would you? Hehe! Jim, I can imagine all kinds of uses for the dual ribbon. Like you say, fabric for rough draft, film for final. Fabric for internal correspondence, memos, carbons...

Slowly, the dominoes of discrimination and exclusion fall.. ...and it's great to see it! I just hope and pray that the religionists don't try to make an amendment to the state constitution a la California. I mean, I can see them doing it, given that they've fed all the hungry, clothed all the...

Jim...that is interesting....I wonder if our overseas friends can pipe in on that cord....I'm thinking UK power. Ron -- IBM did offer dual ribbon capability, at least on the A and B Models. Inside the B-Model Executive, as well as a B-Model Standard I had in the past, was enclosed the fabric...

Oh sure..... ....go blame it on new technology, why dontcha? If a manual typewriter was good enough for Grandma, it should be good enough for us now, eh? :-) Just joshin' ya! Seriously, that's an interesting factiod to know! John

And Cory.... ...other than needing a new ribbon, the C Model is running like a champ. I'm pretty pleased with it :) John

Typewriters! Cool! Kind of funny in a way that the things we take for granted on a computer keyboard were "special order" back in the day. Jim, it looks like if the bookkeeper screwed up on my D Model, the Legal Department, having your C Model would step up to the plate. That's what the...

Tested the Whirlpool World Washer... Indeedy it is a World Washer. Model #LCR7244HQ2. I found instructions, a parts list, etc., online! Woohoo! I *might* have a slight leak...not sure though, as I didn't have the cold water connection on tight, and that was the first leak. So what I may have...

Happy Birthday Greg! All the best, and wishing you many happy returns of the day! John

Blenders! I can do blenders too! I have the "Cookbook Blender" version of the Hamilton Beach. I thought the slide control, versus the buttons, was interesting. My apologies for the not so great pic. P.S. Gutsy is the man who said 'Apex Schmaypex!

Ben...you're right...but around my house, Ben is always ...because here, Ben is the cat :-) I got the RR-6W off the plate on the back of the machine. But comparing my pic to Corey's site, yeah, the panels ARE different! Still....I LOVE IT! :-) And hey, couldn't beat it for $5.00! John

AutomaticWasher.org Amateur Hour continued... ...here's a bit closer of the panel. It works, I'm told, but will clean it up and check it out. I need to do some research to learn more about it. No great find, really, and I'm almost embarrassed to post about it, amongst all you folks who turn...

An entry for Amateur Hour at AutomaticWasher.org This guy I still have to do some research on. But I've always wanted a small washer to stick in the kitchen. Lo 'n behold, this little guy was right by the door! (Would you believe the Radarange weighs more than he does?

...and I'd been wanting a new microwave... ...but like one of the guys over at Vacuumland said "why buy new junk when you can have old quality?" And what screams old quality from the kitchen like an Amana Radarange? It's an RR6W, built in 1975. Ain't she purty? Fred over at Vacuumland...

...that was listed on Craigslist by a recycling center. And here it is...an IBM Model C. It needs some TLC, but that's no problem in my house.

My heartfealt congratulations! I haven't posted on AutomaticWasher.org in AGES...but this thread definitely calls for a post. Robert, it is awesome to read this thread and see that you finally found this machine. And 4 miles from home, that is bizarre. Having seen all the cool work you do to...

The Electroklean 2000 backpack vacuum with power nozzle. Actually, I did buy it, and it should be here Wednesday, if all goes well. I'm starting a Residential/Commercial cleaning and carpet care company, and wanted the Electroklean for commercial applications. As far as the "which is the...
