Funnily enough, Consumer Reports found that air distribution wasn’t any better with the air sweep feature turned on than with it off (they considered it good either way.) I don’t know if that’s true or if it’s just one of their wacky, inexplicable conclusions. I remember quite a few people had...

Great commercial, Joe. Although the poster must have heard “Argos” for ”Arkla!”

Reply #80 "She'll want to thank you three times a day." Pretty racy stuff for 1960.

Look at the porcelain enamel still gleaming! It’s a beaut. These early belt-driven fridges really have personality. It almost sounds like a sewing machine in the video...maybe it doesn’t in person. I wonder how many cycles that set of points is good for? I guess they wouldn’t need to be...

Crosley and Bendix were both owned by the Aviation Corporation (Avco). Wikipedia says they were combined in 1951. Apparently this was just an effort to give separate dealers a full line to sell. There’s probably no difference between this and a Shelvador. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avco

You could have just checked this forum, since there were posts ad nauseam about it at the time. I stopped worrying about when I found that powder Tide With Bleach works just as well, for me. YMMV, and all that.

Opera works well for me with Windows7. It does give me a little pause that the Norwegian founder sold out to a Chinese tycoon, however. I am not doing anything financial-related with it as a result, but for general browsing it’s fine. Not an expert on Firefox, Ralph, but when I use it I...

Notice the toilet paper that matches the “desert turquoise,” er, “closet.” We have so much choice in consumer goods today, but you can get toilet paper in any color you want as long as it’s white.

If you could still get one of those houses for $16,990, I'd say the cost of adding A/C wouldn't be a dealbreaker. Wonder what those neighborhoods look like today?

They're said to be very quiet, with most of the "works" outside the window.

Neat, and I also love how the seller specifies that the cases of beer don’t come with it.

If my superficial web search is right, hubby is now 71 or 72, so if this ad is 50 years old, he wasn’t that far out of diapers himself! Which raises the question: How did P&G’s ad agency find these “real people” and how were they compensated? I’m guessing they contacted people who had bought...

Just in time for dinner! Thanks, Tim!

An article from October says: LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – A Kentucky-based home appliances business says it will add 400 jobs as part of a $200 million investment at its sprawling Louisville operation. GE Appliances on Monday announced plans to expand its laundry and dishwasher production at...

Thank you, Bob, I didn't know that about the Astrodome. I wonder if low gas prices might bring back gas AC in some applications? The Bob and Ray clip is just a comedy bit, as Mr. Science can't really explain how a flame creates cold.

Bob and Ray explain the miracle of gas refrigeration “Doesn’t it seem paradoxical to you that a refrigerator is made cold by a flame?” Bob and Ray explain the miracle of gas refrigeration

I admire your determination in sticking with this. Surprised you got anything other than a flat “no,” so that’s something, anyway. Hope it works out.

Yay! Hope they work well for him.

Sold.

I have the washer, but it’s currently inoperable because of a timer problem, and the timer is NLA. It could probably be fixed but nobody seems to know anything about these rapid advance timers any more.
