    My first vintage set.

    I would use some plain od white vinegar to clean the surface of the sensors and then wipe off with a moistened(with water) towel. That should do it. One way I have cleaned out a duct like you have is to use a leaf blower. Just disconnect the dryer and insert the business end of the leaf...

    Widescreen/HD TV; your take on it

    Yes, it was GoldStar that absorbed Zenith's consumer electronics line. Groupe Bull of France took over Zenith's computer division. When we bought that last Zenith set I noticed that the logo had changed slightly, it was now tilted to the right. It would work right for awhile, then it wouldn't...

    Widescreen/HD TV; your take on it

    My parents always had Zenith sets, we did too for that matter until 1991. That was when Zenith was taken over by Samsung. That set had a power supply problem at least once per year. It finally caught fire one night while we were sleeping.I think it was about five years old when that happened...

    Widescreen/HD TV; your take on it

    I know that when HD sets first appeared on the market a lot of shows were using blue in the set design of HD shows. Why? It just looks better in HD. I haven't noticed fake bricks yet, but my HD viewing experience is limited to under 6 hours so far.

    Widescreen/HD TV; your take on it

    We were over at a friends last night and we were house sitting for the evening while they were out of town. They have a Sony Bravia 50 inch HDTV connected to DirecTv, We watched a few television programs on it while we were there. Initially we noticed the improved picture. But after about 10...

    Help with Cory Vacuum Coffee Pot

    Maybe your Coffeemaster needs to be adjusted to reduce the heat in the brewing cycle? About that rubber taste in my coffee, that only happened with original Coffeemaster gasket/seals. I don't have the Dayseal equivalent for the Cory, but the original one that came with the pot. I bought the Cory...

    Widescreen/HD TV; your take on it

    I read an article that said if you buy a 4K television now, you should worry that it will last long enough for when 4K broadcasting becomes a reality. It may fail before that happens. Last year 3D televisions were hot. This year they are not. Why? Not enough content on the market to warrant the...

    Help with Cory Vacuum Coffee Pot

    If the gasket didn't work right from day 1, then chances are high it has to do with the gasket. My Cory gasket has ridges built into it that I don't see on yours. I know what you mean about the "rubber" taste in the coffee. Our first Sunbeam Coffeemaster did that to us. The gasket looked fine...

    Help with Cory Vacuum Coffee Pot

    So you boil the water in a kettle and then pour it in to the Cory pot after heating 1 inch of water in the Cory? I don't believe your Cory pot was designed to work that way. It's designed to heat all of the water in it's own lower bowl. Have you tried that method yet? It may be the Dayseal...

    What are the advantages of SxS refrigerators if any?

    We've had SxS refrigerators for the last 30 years too. We currently have one of the larger GE's. There are storage bins in both of the doors. In the freezer we can easily put a frozen pizza on each shelf, flat instead of standing it on edge. The refrigerator has a plethora of drawers for storing...

    Widescreen/HD TV; your take on it

    Here in the US, the OTA, over the air free broadcasting of HDTV is not compressed. You only find a compressed signal on output from cable and satellite companies signals. So you get a better picture using an antenna.

    Widescreen/HD TV; your take on it

    There are still Plazma Sets Around but they are usually found in higher end places where they sell complete home entertainment systems. I think one of the problems with the plasma televisions was power consumption and heat. I recently held my hand about a foot away from the front of the...

    Widescreen/HD TV; your take on it

    Our 32" Sony Wega set that wouldn't turn on after a power failure finally turned back on again. This is the 225lb set I discussed in a thread a while back. If you turn the set off, it takes three days to come back on. So we just leave it on all the time. Every few weeks we get a power failure...

    OTA Television Reception Issues

    Fortunately all the stations in the Houston market transmit from one antenna farm southwest of the city. (183 degrees) and College station is northwest of here (340 degrees) our antenna picks up both without using a rotor. So the antenna we have seems to pick up stations in front of and to the...

    OTA Television Reception Issues

    At my parents house we tried regular 300 Ohm twin lead and then upgraded to foam filled 300 Ohm twinlead. We still had a lot of snow in the picture. When we replaced that with 75 Ohm coax with adapters, the interference went away. We had a 110 foot run of cable going from the south side of the...

    OTA Television Reception Issues

    Lots of people are cutting the cable these days. You'd think the cable/sat companies would be worried about this, but they don't seem to be. I read somewhere that in 2014 along over 3 million people "cut the cable" and got off cable/sat television. That's a hunk of change in revenue right there...
