Fantastic score!! I'm really looking forward to hearing how it works and how you like what it does. I have to admit that I'm kinda "over" the ACME, eventhough I think it's well built: A) I can't get over how much of the fruit is wasted. When I juice for the 3 of us, I wind up with a softball...

I'm familiar with those t-stats and I suspect they are similar to what's used in automotive a/c systems......which I have adjusted, as you describe. Interesting info, and I think the next time I trip over a fake wood grain window A/C unit at a yard sale or the swap meet, I'm going to buy it...

Interesting concept So are you saying a 10,000btu "modern EER" type unit is not producing 10,000btu? Or are you saying; it's still a 10,000btu unit, but it doesn't blow as cold, so it runs-and-runs-and-runs in order produce that 10k, where an old unit would only have to run very little in...

This is good news Forum member Tim was kind enough to send me 10 boxes of Cascade with phosphate for the KD-12. Prior to that, I was using the Cascade Complete and the glasses were definately chalky. It's back to normal now, but when this current supply is gone, I'll be on the hunt for a...

Avira Antivir Personal. It was/is highly rated, and it's free. There are updates daily, and there's a pay version with more features. I also have Spybot Search and Destroy to help with spyware/malware, etc.

We had an RCA in a console like that. It was free, sitting out on the curb about 2 blocks away. I think it cost 50 bucks to have it repaired and it had the best picture...30-something inches, like maybe 33 or 35. When I found a big XBR with infrared remote headphones to replace it, I couldn't...

That is a beauty, especially with the matching chair. I remember seeing a pink one on ebay within the last year and thinking how cool it was. Still regreting the sale of my early 50s Whirlpool ironer.

Been looking at this exact model for our bedroom TV, but I think it might be too wide for the location.

Very cool!

I have actually made some stuff... I just don't do it very often. A few years ago, while my mom was out for a visit, she and I used the Pfaff to sew an Indian dress for my daughter and one of her school projects. My mom taught me how to sew, so it was fun to do a project with her. Scored...

That remote system on your Douglas is pretty amazing. I think you just won the award for most unique vintage TV!

Man that was fantastic to look at. What a home!

Holy Serious Shirt Sewing!!!! Beautiful job on that....wow! My machine is a Pfaff 360, but my skill level is nothing more than basic stuff.

Man I loooove circus peanuts!

John, you and I have similar points of view. We still watch VHS too, refuse to "pay" for TV, and only get 2 channels via rabbit ears. The only reason why I bagged the Blue-Ray Disc player was because I thought we might be able to use it to jump online and maybe watch some HULU and catch some...

That Zenith is fantastic! I have a 1956 "Airline" that's similar. Here's where it usually lives. I agree, the CRT's of the last 20 or so years are waaaay too modern for the serious AW type collector with a home full of period stuff. I currently have the big 40" XBR hidden inside a pretty...

304lbs of CRT goodness! Yes, these 40's are the largest CRT Television ever built (according to what I've read). We have the 700 series which is a year or 3 older and doesn't have the DVI connection on the back. I wanted this one because it's a newer version and it has the DVI, so I can buy a...

I have to admit, I still love the picture quality of CRT style televisions. More specifically, the big Sony XBR Trinitrons of years gone by. Just picked up a big 40" Sony XBR (KV-40XBR800) with matching stand for $50. Didn't even take it out of my pickup...I just drove it right over to the...

VW's are excellent cars... Sure, there are going to be problems with any model or car line, but VW's are a solid car with great feel and feedback. Hydraulique, I haven't purchased from either of those vendors, although I have called World Impex in the past. I've got a couple local sources...

The rotatable grills are very cool. Gee, who thought it was a good idea to get away from that design?
