    1984-earlier telephones,MA bell era...

    I like the ATT phone I got this one a year ago on EBay. I used these phones in business in the 1980's. I like the style.

    Death of a member

    Sad to hear this Steve gave me a Frigidaire 1-18 washer many years ago. We did have lunch at that time. I always enjoyed his posts here. He was a character and a collector before this site was started. I got to see some of his collection in his patio at his Sacramento home.

    How much effort to maintain new dishwashers vs old?

    New Whirlpool on Craiglist The Whirlpool WDF330PAHW is available Brand New for $175 on Sacramento Craigslist. I am tempted, however I would like nylon racks. I suppose for the price I should not be pickey. http://https//sacramento.craigslist.org/ppd/d/save-50-brand-in-box/6350717373.html

    Newbie to Forum and Just Bought My First Speed Queen

    Pretty much do nothing Speed Queen recommends a service every 5 years. I am not sure what they do. Probably replace the belt and lube the spring attachment points. Also they recommend to replace the hoses at that time. Otherwise keep the cabinet clean with a damp cloth and also the lid...

    Hey old car guys, how to sell vintage car safely ?

    DMV online Be sure to go to the California DMV online site and see the information there. Last time I sold a car we met in the bank parking lot to look at the car. I accepted cash and took it into the bank and filled out the DMV forms and made copies. http://https//www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv

    Old cars vs New cars

    New but nostalgic design This is my 2014 Ford Mustang. It looks a lot like the original 1960's Mustangs and really drives well. I like rear wheel drive and most cars have front wheel drive. Rear wheel drive used to be the cheapest system. Then front wheel drive came along and was made...

    New Speed Queen Tub off center

    Used clothes pin trick I was reading Frigilux's "Speed Queen Experts Needed" and I saw the Clothes Pin trick. When I looked before I thought that the back panel prevented the Clothes Pin trick. However, I stuck my finger under there and sure enough, you can still do it. So now I can finally...

    New Speed Queen Tub off center

    I have had the new Speed Queen set for about 4 months and I am very happy with both the washer and dryer. The washer was leveled by the installer and also later by me as it did settle a bit. Right now it is very level. The tub is off center and has been that way since first installed, I just...

    Which one of these new dryers would be a better option?

    Interior Light My new dryer has an interior light. This is the first dryer that I have owned with an interior light. This Whirlpool does not have one. The next higher price one has it. Some pictures of dryers show the light but the specifications say no light. All of the other dryers I...

    GE GTW330ASKWW

    Home Depot For GE and Maytag washers I probably would buy from Home Depot because the 5 year warranty is about $100. That is good insurance. I read that they are pretty good with replacement if say, the control board goes. Also good advice to not overload, and this is true for all washing...

    New GE(General Electric) agitator washer!

    Warm Rinse GE had a similar top loading machine without the agitator. Now with the dual action agitator, it is the only new top loading agitator machine with a warm rinse. I would consider getting it, but with the 5 year service plan which only costs an extra $100 or so.

    Tiered electric rates...

    Even lower wattage I found some LED nightlight bulbs that look like the 4 watt bulbs and only use .75 watts. I have one in my living room in a table lamp and one in the kitchen. I leave them on all the time and at night you can see quite well in those rooms. Amazing amount of light for less...

    Efficiency I appreciate how efficient many appliances are these days. New Air Conditioning systems are very efficient. LED bulbs are efficient, long lasting and produce very pleasing light. In California our building energy standards utilize lots of insulation and multi pane windows and the...

    Modern washer the fills all the way

    Select Fabric Softner Most TL machines that have Deep Fill option will have the Fabric Softner option for the rinse. This cycle fills the tub up to dilute and distribute the fabtic softner but can be used without the fabric softner. This way you can have a deep fill wash and deep fill rinse.

    And End To My Low Flow (Toilet) Woes

    Afraid to change We have a long line to the main sewer, probably about 100' from the farthest toilet. We have added two clean outs due to all of the problems clogging the line. Now we have 4 cleanouts total and no line clogs for a couple of years. I feel the existing 4 gallon flush units we...
