    Here's what I see in the garage after discovering the door was not fully closed... The dishwasher back there was a nothing special (too new). The house was completely gutted.

    The Endangered GE Double Oven Story...

    Back on March 19th I went to a local estate sale like I always do on the weekends. My big collections are vintage TV's, but have recently been bit by the vintage appliance bug now that I finally have my own home. In this house, I saw a beautiful set of early 1970's GE coppertone kitchen...

    Thanks for all of the links so far. Its one of those things where you have to see it in person to get a good feel for how nice it is. I sent emails to the person with the dishwasher and also the range hood requesting a couple extra photos. It was nice to see that range hood as I was looking...

Im under the impression that the bearing failed due to excessive belt tention as this machine did have a replacement motor when I got...

    Wow! That thing is nice! Were those standard 30" width? Without contacting the seller, is there a standard hight on these?

    Retro home needs Avocado (or coppertone) range, fridge and dishwasher!

    Hello, Last year I bought my 1964 ranch house and its been very important to me bring it back to its former charm with period correct interior decorating. While 95% of the house is original and in nice shape, I'm lacking nice period correct appliances in the kitchen. I got very lucky last...

    The new motor arrived yesterday! I've been anxiously waiting the whole week. Still in the orignal Frigidaire box, dated 12-77. Its so nice finding original NOS parts. I put the new motor in and gave it a test run.....Everything works perfect! All the water valves appear to work like they...

    excellent! Thanks for both the very helpful photo of the sheild and also the link to the motor on ebay! I called around a few appliance parts dealers in Chicago, they are old established places that I knew about and figured they'd have some stuff lying around to help me out. Of course...

    Hello, I can finally get into the vintage appliance collection now that I am a new home owner! I recently moved into an all original 1964 brick ranch with full basement and the only think it needed was period correct appliances. I have an upstairs laundry room, so it was important for me to...
