a fun little machine that needs some love and a good home.... You can tell the seller is from the South, "I never plugged it up." [to the outlet] In the north we "plug things in" unless we want to stop a leak, then we "plug them up." :) http://nashville.craigslist.org/atq/5119573800.html

corporate greed As much as we like to, we can't blame a politician for corporate greed. Unfortunately, corporate and personal greed has been around almost as long a "the oldest profession" and we all know what that it. :) Although General Electric is (or at least was) my favorite company, I...

next 100 years I hope that General Electric is here for the next 100 years, too, Alan! Being relevant doesn't mean you need to change the identity of a company. It means you take what you do and make it better and more competitive than others in the marketplace. GE was not formed to be a...

Before GE's demise This ad was 1979, the year before Neutron Jack took over GE and began cutting off GE's limbs. So GE's sun was shining brightly (as Phil would say) as a consumer producer when this commercial was made. Can you believe it, the kid taking his picture for graduation, in the ad...

General Electric is a dimming star Yes Phil, it's sad. GE sun is setting. As far as I can tell, the purchase of GE Appliances by Electrolux still has not received final approval. It was supposed to have in April. As far as I can tell, from GE's corporate website, they still own it. The...

Can you believe it's been over 30 years since these ads were on? http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qO52TTr5qU

cool! This is really cool, Phil. It has to be very old as Westinghouse sold it appliance division to White Corp. in 73/74. Microwaves, had yet to become an overly common household item. So not too many units were probably produced by Westinghouse. A nice find!

approx. 1960 model I posted a link (thread 48274) with pictures of this model with the Frigidaire brand. You can see how it cleaned. http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?48274

recognize the woman in the commercial? Any of you recognize the woman who did this Clairol Kindness commercial? It's Sunny Griffin, supermodel of the sixties. She has done many TV ads and appeared as "Ruth" in the Dustin Hoffman/Mia Farrow movie, "John and Mary". Can you believe she is going...

Apparently in 1967 all you needed was a Clairol Kindness Electric Hair Curler set to get a man.... http://https//www.bing.com/videos/search?q=curlers+in+your+hair+shame+on+you&FORM=VIRE1#view=detail&mid=F0FCAC2FE3C6517B719EF0FCAC2FE3C6517B719E

The RR design lasted for 22 years, which is quite a good longevity. If they had problems with consumers not buying the RR design, trust me they would have made amends before twenty two years. I believe 1990/1991 was the last production of the RR. Maytag redesigned the tub and went to the...

direct drive Direct drive is what most home dishwasher are, with the the pump being directly connected to the motor. The earlier Maytag RR, as Andrew said, had the motor off to the side and connect by a belt to the pump. Maytag did this to increase the tub size, since you didn't have to allow...

enough to date it Then the picture in this thread, and my parents machine, had to be 1961 models. Apparently Whirlpool made changes in the '61 year and add the spin only cycle as well as the the fourth water temperature option of "lukewarm". I can't recall if it had "medium" and "lukewarm" or...

60 or 61? The picture above from DADoES is the model we had, exactly. Anyone know if its 1960 or a 1961?? My guess in '60. Isn't that a beautiful control panel! Even with the discolored buttons, flaking paint on the knob and pitted chrome it is still mighty nice looking. I had forgotten...

very classy Yes, it was a very classy machine. As I've mentioned previously on ths site several times, we had the RCA Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII matched set when I was very young. I think it was a 1960, it might have been a '61 I would have to see a picture. 99% sure it was '60 model. No...

smells I grind everything but the kitchen sink, ha. Corn cobs go down fine, the only thing I don't grind is corn husks. They take forever and are more pain than its worth. Often in my ISE I will have a ball of corn silk left in the machine when I'm done. That's a good idea Jon, about the...

nice RCA but newer than stated The seller is off a bit on his date of the unit. It is solid state and has the newer style changer. But it was produced before they started adding eight tracks. So my guess is late sixties to very early 70's. Also has plastic simulated wood trim which was...

gorgeous unit Hope someone on the AW site grabs this. I have one that was my mom's that I got when she passed away. I love it. Great temperature control. When I was little my mome made great deep fried chicken and french fries in it. Amazing how something can still work perfectly after sixty...

rca Nice unit. We had one at the Habitat ReStore I volunteer at that we had marked at $90. (By the way, Coalfield, TN where this item is located and neighboring town Oliver Springs is where much of the movie "October Skies" was filmed) http://knoxville.craigslist.org/atq/4683112046.html
