As far back as I can remember.. Grease down the drain was a deathly sin. Hah maybe not quite... but I remember getting yelled at too, once I was old enough to cook, that grease goes in the trash not the sink. My Mom was very thrifty and washed up and saved just about any reusable jar or food...

Thank you too Petek ! Can sizes being different at the time of it's manufacture were something I hadn't thought about. Most of my growing up was in the 80's and I know they had the larger cans by that time as I remember the 48oz Tomato juice cans being a regular thing when my Mom made chili...

Thanks Tolivac ! I appreciate the tips. Makes sense and gives me some things to try. It is a cool looking little gadget and considering it's about half a century old and still purrs like a kitten that's pretty cool too. The kitten just needs new 'teeth' I guess

I recently bought this awesome gadget and really like the thing. Even the color despite not thinking of it for appliances. I mean, how often do you see a pink can opener? This is a Sunbeam 'Vista' Electric Can Opener model 64-S2 with the atomic diamond grill design from the early 1960's. It...

Very cool That's a fun kitchen! Those look almost new too. Smooth top oven and stainless steel appliances were much more interesting circa 1950's and 70's Very unique knobs there, I bet someone somewhere has one or some. Those are the kind of knobs collectors like to snag from poor orphaned...

That's a neat stovetop I had no idea smooth top ranges went back to the 70's like that. Plastic can be re-plated. A lot of hobbyist need chrome plating done to plastic pieces for things like scale models and then car enthusiasts always want bezels and covers chromed... so there are several...

This set showed up recently in a search. The seller lists them as "never been used" .. but the pictures show the set in a basement setting near washer hookups. Add to that in the description it says "has been maintenance" so take that for what it's worth.. haha. They don't list a price just a...

Thanks Charles Actually the pictures I included in the post were just images I found online several years ago that someone else took of this dryer, I don't own the actual machine. I posted the pics just looking for more information to research the model better and find out what the...

Thank you too Frigilux And that has me curious what a matching washer console would look like, now that I've seen a near twin of the dryer.

Being a fan of the show like you, I kind of felt like that was the obvious go to episode to check first, so figured you had likely thought of it already and it wasn't right. But thought I'd mention it anyway. Now I'm curious to see it again too. Haha.. love that show and It's funny you...

I wondered about that DADoES Thanks also, I was calling them buttons I think because I didn't have a better word haha. But that makes sense. The funny thing is I had originally wondered if they were lenses that lit up when you set the dial to the corresponding setting. So many of these...

Appreciate it guys John- Thank you for the welcome and the tip on what years to look for, now I have something to go by! I hope to one day get a pair of machines of my own so I may just take you up on that offer in the future. Akronman- What a line of beauties there! and the one IS a twin...

I think I know what you are talking about... But I can't be 100% sure. The episode I remember is where Red has his hours cut back at work so he's home more often and Kitty takes more hours at her nursing job to make up for the income loss. He feels inferior because he can't solely provide on...

Hello everyone, I've been a fan of this board for years but have always just read and learned vs posting.. not having anything to really contribute to the discussion. I finally joined recently.. but still have nothing to contribute.. haha. So for my first post I thought I'd pose a question...
