Maytag Dryer with Window My Maytag dryer A608 has a window in it. Pretty Kool I think Doug

Machine is later than 1959 I have an issue of Consumer Reports December 1959 issue and it rated dishwashers and the RCA Whirlpool FU-70 was top rated as it had two washes instead of one and a very effective filtering of the wash water. It did a very good job at cleaning dishes. This machine has...

Keep Up the Good Work Louis, thanks for the memories, I really like the old ads and the recipes that are posted, I like some of the old style recipes as they really look good and I bet are tasty too. Keep of the good work, along with the Cruise O Matic I really enjoy the old ads. Doug

My 2 Cents I have to put my 2 cents here on this subject, my sister gave me a pot that you had to time to make coffee. Well it was slow as s**t. Didn't know why but I checked the wattage of the unit and it was only 400 watts, and really really really slow in getting the job done. I ended up...

Thanks for the memories! Louie, thank you for all the ads in this and the cruse-o-matic section. They bring back such memories of the past and what a different time it was. Please keep up the good work as I and other really appreciate the time and effort you put into doing this work. Thanks so...

Good Choice - Whirlpool Those Whirlpool dishwashers from that era the mid 70's I think, were very good cleaners. We had a Whirlpool machine that was the Supreme with 4 cycles and the super scour cycle that would take care of anything that was put into the machine. It lasted over 15 years with...

Now that is the Blackstone washer to find, it has everything you need for doing all sorts of wash. Totally top of the line washing, everything is adjustable for washing all fabrics. That would be my vintage washer to buy! Doug

Whirlpool Set gets My Vote I would go with the Whirlpool set as it is more interesting to watch it perform and its repair history is better than GE's. I am betting that this set was made in the mid 1980's and they were rated higher in performance than the GE's. Doug

Maybe a Glass Washer? I would use it as a glass washer and maybe light breakfast or lunch dishes. The machine can't be that bad. Maybe the filter can be made to filter the water so the waste doesn't get washed back onto the dishes. Doug

Good Job... Hey Ken, Good job with the Porta-Cool unit, they were good units and did a good job on cooling. I have rescued quite a few of these units , cleaned them up and gave them to my son up in Maine. I have 2 one a GE and the other a Hotpoint, took them apart and cleaned them up. They come...

A Fedders Find Dave, I found this old Fedders a year ago and it was in great condition, just some cleaning up and it was good to go. It's a 1973 4000 but high efficiency unit that Fedders introduced that year. Runs very well and is quiet to boot too. Doug.

Hi, Dave, yes the unit is complete with the original front cover, I was very lucky with this unit when I found it, it wasn't tossed on to the ground and damaged. The person who had it placed it on a newer unit, undamaged. You can see the unit in the pic. Doug

Philco AC Refurbished We guys the unit runs well and I have completed the rehab job on the unit. It runs well and I painted the cabinet as it needed it, I installed it in the window too, and we will give it a test next week as we expect mid 90's temps. PhillR the recycling center where I got...

Hit the jackpot, the unit works! YAY!, now its somewhat apart and getting a cleaning which it really needs as the unit is filthy. I will post a picture or two when I get it done, it is starting to look good again. Doug

This followed me home today when I went to the recycle center to get rid of some garden waste. At first I couldn't believe it, I bought one just like this in 1972 (Philco Space Mate 5000)and it lasted 29 years before being replaced. This unit needs a good cleaning as I have opened it up to check...

Remember Paramount Blowers Paramount leaf blowers were made in the late 1970's, I remember them well as they were a good product and CU rated them highly. We had one and it worked well. They were sold at Value House/Service Merchandise which is showing my age. They also made grass string...

Get an AC foam Filter for the fridge After you have cleaned the bottom of the fridge, I would cut a piece of foam air conditioner filter and put it in front of the coils. I have it on my fridge and it collects a lot of dust that lands on the coils and keeps it clean. Easier to clean the filter...

Make Sure it has the Exhaust System I remember growing up with that ge double oven range, but the one we had didn't have the exhaust system in it, and my mom hated it with a passion. Any time you used the back burners and it created steam, it would condense on the bottom of the upper oven and...

Interesting, that this dryer is either 6000 or 8000 watts of heating according to how it is wired up.

I am sure that this error was pointed out before, but if you look closely at today's ad, the bottom rack of this dishwasher has the bowls pointed outward, and not inward toward the spray action. If you tried it, you would see that it would't get those items clean. Doug
