Malleys What is the significance of the Malley's name?

In regard to tariffs... I have two words for you: "Smoot" and "Hawley". And one other thing: "America has to import scientists and engineers because education is only for the very wealthy in the US." Okay, the other points that panthera made can be argued, but this one is absolute, utter BS...

BTW, Timonator, if you ever go off and leave your front door unlocked, that clock is mine!

I have a lot less sympathy for certain American factory workers since the time I got hassled by some UAW members because they thought my Saturn was a foreign car. Idiots.

Kenmore BD spin speed "The transmission is a faily heavy sort, especially in today's standards, and is always agitating, at least internally, whenever the motor is running" I didn't realize that! It's obvious now that you've pointed it out, but I never thought about it. Clearly, this would...

DADoES, I was a few years behind you. I didn't buy my first good system until 1979, which was near the end of the golden era for component audio. I went to Circuit City with $1000 in my hand and bought, all in one swipe, a Phillips N2535 cassette deck, a Technics SL-230 semi-auto turntable, a...

One of my cousins had that Norelco cassette changer. It wasn't very reliable; it jammed a lot. Of course, part of the problem was that the cassettes available in those days were cheap, flimsy, lo-fi things intended for dictation machines. Cassette didn't come into its own as a hi-fi medium until...

Since the Oasis and the F&P top loaders have been mentioned in this thread and the various questions answered, I thought I'd do the same for the Harmony, as a point of comparison. Compiling the various questions that have popped up in the thread: Does it get the clothes twisted? Hasn't been...

One of the few drawbacks to the GE/LG Harmony design is no lint filter. I understand why; there's no way to turn a recirculating pump with the direct-coupled stepper motor, and they wanted to simplify the drain plumbing so that the drain pump motor only has to run during actual draining (which...

It is plumbed to the water supply. And yes, they do go through a lot of water. Also, you need to be careful that you route the drain through a warm area. My stepfather has one, and the drain was routed through an insulated ceiling in the basement. The water that drains is just barely above...

Right now, I've got on my XM presets: XM Classics XM Pops Fine Tuning (mashup channel, plays a little of everything) The System (trance electronica) Real Jazz (bebop) Beyond Jazz (fusion and some Latin) Bluesville (hard core blues) Liquid Metal (heavy metal / hard rock) Fred ('80s rock) Indycar...

Coin box Possibly they were intended to be mounted in an opening in a wall, with the back side of the wall being a non-public area which would contain the utilities. I recall that older laundires often had elaborate schemes such as this to hide all of the utilities for a cleaner look. If the...

Nah, the dog's name is Killer. And Darlene works at the Piggly Wiggly.

Toggle, the chest freezer that has all the squirrel and possum meat in it is on the back porch.

I don't see any strings of old beat-up Christmas lights falling across the front. The window on the left should have aluminum foil in it. And the lot needs a few toilet planters in front...

So that one up there in post # 243538 -- presumably, in order to drain, it has to throw the water at the beginning of the spin cycle. It doesn't appear to have a retainer ring. How did it keep the clothes from going overboard and into the main tub?

Mellotron Someone else who's heard of the Mellotron! The staple of progressive rock of the '70s, and the bane of roadies and keyboard techs everywhere. It was a sort of early sample playback technology. They made tapes of various instruments being played, note for note, one tape for each note...

That dirty water bladder that takes up the volume as the supply water is used is a great idea. I've got the modern Hoover Floor Mate, and the one thing I don't like about it is that the supply water tank isn't nearly big enough. I'm always having to stop and refill the darn thing.

Wonder what that "special wool cycle" does different as far as speeds...
