Sounds Like a Fun Project I know the horizontal size of earlier Nutone master stations was wider than would fit between standard 16" on center studs - don't know if that applies with this model - but would be simple to figure out.  Also, in spite of the fact this unit may have cost a chunk of...

Correct & Constant Temperature One can not over-state the necessity of maintaining the correct temperature throughout the brew cycle.  Be it a single cup or carafe of drip, or extracting a shot of espresso, that one part of the process can kill it all.  Although with the many varieties of...

I Think You'll Be Very Pleased Two years ago, I replaced a 17 year old Lennox Pulse furnace with a Lennox SLP98UHV and have never been happier. By combining it with the iComfort Thermostat, you'll also benefit from variable rate output (from 35 to 100%) - in 1% increments - both heating-up and...

If Memory Serves... ... the old Pan Pacific Auditorium in Los Angeles used to have Frigidaire water coolers scattered throughout the complex. Fairly certain those units had vitreous china tops and the button labelled 'press' operated a solenoid water valve.  Classy.

It was always a shame about Bill Cullen not being able to transition to the New PIR.  I know Bob Barker has a big following and with good reason, but I am not among them.  He never had quite the 'edge' that (IMHO) would have made him a great game show host.  Bill Cullen, on the other hand, had...

It's obvious that many of us are disappointed in what has become of Consumer Reports.  Undoubtedly the current format (of the printed magazine)</span> is partly the result driven by a public already over-saturated with "information" everywhere it turns - much of it useless, biased, exaggerated...

Cinerama - In Name Only First off - it's great to hear the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Century 21</span> will be preserved. Although, as pointed out in the commentary, certainly wasn't as "luxurious" as the movie palaces of the 1920's & 30's.  In 1964 upon its opening, the <span...

Two Bon Ami Formulations @ Supersuds- I assume the Bon Ami Powder you were referring is the currnet formulation. However, Bon Ami still sells the orginal formula - which they market as the Bon Ami Original 1886 Formula. You can find it at Ace Hardware and on-line directly from Bon Ami. Find...

Have to Agree with Frigilux... After playing the game of buying one pan here, one pan there - with varying results - I finally bit the bullet and bought All-Clad, and never looked back. I ended up getting the "d5 Stainless-Steel series" from Williams-Sonoma and have been totally taken with it...

Van de Kamp's was One and the Same The Van de Kamp’s brand began in 1915 as part of a Los Angeles potato chip stand founded by Theodore J. Van de Kamp, his sisters Marian and Henrietta, and Lawrence L. Frank. They expanded the business to baked goods and by the mid-1950s evolved into a local...

My, Oh My- Words really fail to capture the incredible beauty and labor of love bestowed on this beauty - although everyone has given it a good try.  I won't attempt to add to what has already been spoken, but to say this must be the 'ne plus ultra' of restorations.  Good show-!   Am curious...

Cloth Covered Cords... can still be had from Sundial Wire. http://www.sundialwire.com/ As you can see, they carry quite the selection of both wire and plugs. Have fun.

Western Electric Ringer Washer For those unaware, Western Electric manufactured a number of household appliances, including washers, vacuums, ironers, toasters, movie projectors, etc.  Here's a shot of a Model 3 Washer.

RCA Attempts to Beat Columbia Into the Future of Records, Bu Columbia Records (a division of CBS and major competitor to RCA) introduced the LP, 12" record in 1948, followed by RCA's 7" 45rpm disc the following year.  Although RCA thought the 45 format could supplant the LP through the use of...

Smart Oven Breville offers their Smart Oven in three sizes.  I have the Compact model, but there's another model (The Mini) which may satisfy your cooking needs but has a reduced footprint impacting your counter space in a lessened fashion.   At $249.00 here in the States, the One Touch Tea...

Breville, Yes Indeed I own the Smart Grill, the Compact Smart Oven and the One Touch Tea Maker.  All the appliances are well designed, engineered and crafted to a higher level of quality than the typical units from the usual cast of appliance maker characters.  And as previously stated - all...

Johns-Manville <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Johns-Manville, to name only one company knee-deep into the production of asbestos (it was "The Miracle Mineral" at the 1939 NY World's Fair, after all) knew quite well, as early as the 1930's the scourge of both asbestosis...
