My favorite Norge... ...thanks for posting this -- The Dispensomat has to be my favorite Norge -- I love the Fabric Selector dots pointing to the correct settings, so cool! For those of us like me, who can't make a home for a vintage washer or dryer, I love these threads showing all the...

Ooooh....Terry, good point! Good point about the nozzle setting on the Kirby. I have a very low pile carpet, and found popping the nozzle up a notch did the trick. I do what Kirby suggests in the video, raise the nozzle completely, then notch it down until the motor just changes pitch. Also, I...

*****FAINT****THUD****** jdinstl faints dead away at the site of the $100 G6 I'm floored -- just run it over me, would you? WOW! Beautiful machine, and it's great to see it find a home that will respect it for what it is! As you know, I'm a total fan of the Kirby's -- just love 'em. "Beast"...

Oh wow! Cool collection, Austin! If your 630D was green, it would be the vacuum we had in our home when I was in my teens. It replaced an ancient Kenmore cannister. I remember flipping the toggles on the bottom to hook up the attachments! And of course I love your G5. TechDrive is indeed...

Droooooooooooooool...... ...just look at those classy gals, all gussied up and looking good! It amazes me how they work like packhorses, yet keep their graceful and sexy figures. Talk about Charlie's angels! Charlie, what model is the one on the far left? Also, I'm a dog person -- but...

Mmmmmmmmmmmm..... Launderess...please don't call that frozen foam in the supermarket ice cream...such a misnomor. The term "vanilla" often means plain -- until you've had hand-cranked vanilla ice cream. It can't be described, it has to be experienced. I'd like to second the condemnation of...

Ouch! Oh man, that must have hurt watching that Sanitronic go. But the Electrolux and the Hoover sound awesome! You ARE going to post pictures, right? And, hey, if it makes you feel better, my Sanitronic is back in action. I say back in action, because I really royally majorly screwed up. I...

Hmmm.... ...can't find that thread...but I've attahed a link to Ironrite.com -- they have a link to "View Ironrite promotional movies" links to two vidoes, one of which shows how to do a shirt, I think. Hope this helps. John http://www.ironrite.com/

Welcome, Daniel!!! Welcome to automaticwasher.org, Daniel -- where absolutely nothing but a love for the appliances matters. I don't think you'll find any snobbery or such here because of age. I have limited space (I live in an apartment) I don't have any vintage washers or such - I express...

Larry... ...you are an excellent resource, you know that! :) Dori, I don't know how you feel about eBay but there's a couple of Ironrite manuals posted -- hopefully my link will take you to one of them. Also, someone else here a bit back posted a link to a video of the Ironrite in use that...

Hmm....just thought of something... ...I don't mean to rain on the parade -- but toggle, do you really think they're gonna let you sell appliances? I mean, c'mon, an appliance salesman who knows what he's talking about? That is unheard of these days! That went out with fins on cars -- talk...

LOL! Glad you saw the humor there, Chris -- I felt guilty after posting that, coz you're such a nice guy -- and we're only a couple of years apart in that regard. Honestly, I contemplated asking Robert to remove it *blush*. Betty Furness would be proud of your good work! Cheers, John

Best of luck to you! ..and I mean that! I'm contemplating the same -- career change, that is, and getting out of IT. So it's probably going to be the same here soon as well. Cheers, John

Way to go Chris! Impressive work there, Chris, good for you! It's always good to see a classic appliance back in service as you've done here. Just thinking -- you realize folks on this board are a dying breed, right? Can you see anyone doing something like this 40 years from now on one of...

addendum I didn't make it clear in the above message: I started the process on the Duplex with the Never Dull and Mothers, but am switching over to the compound and buff method, using an electric drill and buffing wheels for power. John

Hiya! Terry - I used a number of things, LOL -- but most of all a lot of elbow grease! Never-Dull "wad" polish, was one -- I think it's loose cotton with some type of chemical compound. That, and Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish. Basically, I worked it until the feel changed from rough to...

Wow!!! What a piece of equipment -- very impressive! VERY impressive! Yeah, when's dinner? :-) John

Glad you like :-) Thanks for the compliments guys. Greg, I read that about Sharp decamping the upright market. That's a rather bold move, isn't it? At least in the US, I would think that the upright is still the vac of choice -- even though cannister versatility is more appropriate mixed...

Put a fork in it, this thread is done! Neptune! DUDE! I thought you picked that name for the Maytag product -- but you are really are a god and not a mythical one! What an excellent and awesome idea! My apartment is two levels, in a building constructed just before the turn of the century. The...

Uhm.... Well...I'm not impressed. You should have quit your job, walk ed out, and attend to our needs first? You just don't care, do you? JUST KIDDING! :-) :-) :-) :-) Being a software developer, and doing some web work on the side, I know it takes a lot of work for something like this. You...
