I bought the ISE at the local "Do-It" home building center. It was a couple hundred bucks, which I thought was crazy, but when I read that it had all stainless, I took a chance that it would be worth the money. I've seen a lot of rusted out, crappy, low power disposers over the years at other...

Yep, our 1959 Kitchenaid KD-12 has it, but I've never used it. I just toss them into the oven, since the stove is already being used, and the dishwasher rarely sits empty.

I agree, snap up that Dell, or similar Dell for pennies on the dollar and have a very stable and very fast machine. I did the same thing for both myself, and my 11yr old daughter. About $150 for one and $100ish for the other (both Dells running XP), locally on CL. That was 2 or 3 years ago...

Waste King used to bo TOL back in the day When I was a kid, my dad sold Waste King and other TOL kitchen appliances. Waste King has a slogan that was something about their 1/4hp model was equivelant to a 1hp model made by others. At the annual home show they had a WK disposer hooked up, and...

The moment we've all been waiting for... Well, it's been just about 24hrs and the meter is sitting at 1.38KWH. So I'm going to call it; 1.4KWH per day (24hrs). Multiply by 12 cents is .17 cents per day and times 30 days is $5. Of course the actual real world dollar amount is much higher...

12hrs..... Well, it's been a little over 12hrs and the meter is at .80KWH. We'll see how it does overnight. I noticed as the day wore on, it ran more frequently and the 40-45min became 20-25min...at least on one of the times I caught it running. I've been leaving the left door of the shed...

Time to start scouring ebay and etsy and see what I can find. I expected to see a ton of the summerhill set on ebay and found none, just a few spare pieces.

The bumpy glasses are pretty cool for sure. That cracked ice sounds cool too.....having a hard time finding any examples on ebay, but maybe it's because I don't know what I'm looking at. I'm on the fence about buying actual "glass" glasses as I'm concerned they'll get broken, either in tow...

Yes, that's the plan, see what it uses in a 24hr period. I've been watching it run and updating my post above with more accurate usage info.......for example, I was there when it first kicked on, so I switched into amps mode and it was using 2.19amps. That slowly went down and right before...

Couldn't resist this set of Corning Centura "Summerhill" pattern dishes that popped up on Craigslist yesterday. 50 pieces; pretty much full setting for 8 (dinner plates, salad plates, bread plates, cereal bowls, 3 vegetable serving bowls, sugar bowl with lid, coffee/tea cups, and saucers....all...

Got my "Kill-A-Watt" meter today This is a very neat tool. Looks like the freezer uses 2.19amps on initial start and that slowly tapers off to 1.98amps when it shuts off. A 6min run cycle, it used 0.01KWH. I caught in mid-run, so it may use more than .01 per cycle. I'll watch for it today...

Cool!! I sold one back in November for $275 in very nice condition. It was free on CL, but a good hour's drive out into the middle of nowhere to the rural cabin that it was being used in. Neat fridges and there are still people who work on them.

Thanks for posting those. Looking forward to testing when my meter comes next week. I've caught the freezer running twice today (not sure how many times it's run) and each time it only stayed on for 5min. Can't imagine it could use much, only running 5min at a time.

The fan opening is now covered over. Could definately be low on freon. But when it cycles on, it only runs for about 5 minutes. It's pretty apparent that this was someone's project at one time. In working on it so much yesterday, and even having the front lifted about 2 feet in the air, it...

I wonder if fridge consumption and freezer consumption can be compared though? I can definately mod the shed door, or just leave the left door cracked open, since that's the side the exiting airflow is on. I'm hoping the shed will improve the outdoor performance by keeping the heat off freezer...

Cool find there Ralph!! I love a post that begins with, "Latest.......Find." Hope you post a movie up on YouTube of it making coffee!

Modern 2 drawer freezer Looked up the specs for a modern version of my freezer. The Delfield Model UC4532N Under Counter "Front Breathing" Freezer uses 4.44kilowatts per day, which winds up being about $17 per month. It uses 9.5amps. At least now I have a comparison value to work with...

Based on how it's designed to move air, it maybe have just been really inefficient at removing heat from the coils, and on top of that, I had it turned up to #4 or something. It's actually making quite a bit of suction on the intake side, and pressure on the outlet side of the grill now, and...

Installed a solid rear panel, just to cover the compressor area, and left the square opening that's above and rearward of the fan, completely open. I did the paper towel over the front grill trick and yes, there's enough suction to hold it to the grill. There's no door switch, the area where...

WOW!!!!!! If I didn't have a pair, I'd be all over those like a cheap suit.
