Nope still spinning the same old meter. I'll give it another month and see what happens with shed for cover, the door switch confirmed good/fixed/or disconnected, and the proper rear panel. Just did a little test of the meter spin. With this computer turned off, and the aquarium off, the meter...

Good suggestion. Just shot the inside with my infrared temp gun and it's at 3*F.....and that's with the temp control dial on setting #1. Guess I'll make a back panel for it and make sure the door switch is working correctly at all times. I could see that switch hanging up and causing the...

No, I'm not sure that I'll keep it. But I'm going to put a bit more effort into seeing if I can affect it's performance. Bottom line is, it wouldn't be worth it to me to spend $30-$35/mo just to keep some food frozen. I'm kinda shocked at the energy useage though. Our entire home is nothing...

Have jig-saw will travel... Thanks for the info. I'll get a scrap of some FRP or something and make a panel. So would it be correct that there would be no grill-work in the area of the compressor so that 100% of the air was forced to travel from the front grill below the door, through the...

Thanks for the tips... Yes, this has a huge fan which appears to be set up to suck air through the grill under the front door, over the 3 horizontal rows of the condensor, then over the compressor, and sideways through the fan, and then out a seperate opening that rearward and sort of above the...

Some of you may remember that last month I bought a late 50's, early 60's GE under cabinet food freezer. Thought I'd report back on how it's doing, both functionally and electricity consumption wise. The good news is that it runs beautifully and makes huge cold. The bad news is that my...

Yeah, I'd hang on to it too... I'll keep the ACME for the same reason. It's very cool looking, in perfect shape, works perfect.....even if I'm not completely satisfied with it's process.....and it was under $20. Hopefully I'll fall into a Vita-Mix in the near future......so to speak!

Good updates! Glad you got the parts and had a trial run. So how much waste was there? WMLASK; thanks for the tip on the filter paper. Does it just clog up though too? I did some juicing with the ACME again this weekend. We had a pineapple that was verrry ripe. So I did it, and apples...

Nice to see that happening Same with poultry and beef, as well as crops. We try to support as much of it as possible, without getting ourselves hosed financially. I figure the more these "better" food producers are supported, the more the price will come down, and hopefully, the more of them...

Next thing you know, Internet Brands will be contacting you and offering to buy the site for a cool million dollars. Congrats on having such a large internet presence. That's actually a pretty big honor. Good luck with the decision making process and the move, and as always, thanks for all the...

That's an other thing we've switched too... Real Maple syrup from Vermont, in glass bottles. I think I switched us over to that about 6 or more years ago. I notice that it's getting harder to find the Vermont labels, and easier to find the Canadian product. Nothing against out Canadian...

I had no idea houses were built with special doors... This is really great to hear about the special metal boxes, the homes with special milk doors, and especially, that the milkman was allowed to come into a home and put the milk in the fridge. That just blows my mind. Although I grew up...

That's pretty cool! Nice score, especially since it's local and you don't have to drive or worry/pay shipping. I'm no expert on them, but I've had a couple other brands and worked on a 3rd that my wife's Aunt owns. Just make sure that the entire shoe gets hot. Some models have dual heat...

The recent popcycle/icecream truck.....turned milk truck......thread got me thinking; I still love milk out of glass bottles. We have 4 milk bottles with plastic snap caps, and continue to use them. The milk just seems colder and tastes better, and they fit in the '52 Philco much nicer...

That is fantastic. Cracks me up how many of these beautiful stoves you come across.

Glad you like the Avira Also glad you were able to do a successful uninstall of the Norton. Usually, it's woven so tightly into the registry that there can be problems with it after-the-fact.

I think brillo is going to be too aggressive for that smooth aluminum finish.

Yep, he was really trying hard to make it work. It was a great idea and initially he had a lot of customers. I think the truck was probably a Divco from the late 60's. The problem with the service was; A person is at the grocery store every few days to begin with, so having a gallon of milk...

There was one here About 1992ish a VW customer of mine started a milk delivery service. I don't know what kind of milk truck he had, but it was the real deal, with huge frozen cooling panels in the ceiling. He had to leave it plugged in all day long, in order to freeze those, and then he went...

Cool looking cooker. Maybe try "Simichrome" metal polish (available at hardware stores) and see if that doesn't give you a nicer finish.[this post was last edited: 1/22/2011-00:23]
