Ampex I often wondered why Ampex chose to stay with the one motor system on thier consumer tape decks. I have a TEAC deck that is s three motor system and is simpler and MUCH easier to work on. If anything AMPEX was over-engineered. My cousin is the founder/owner of Tel-Arac Records in...

Ampex If anything, Ampex products were overengineered. I often wondered why they didn't go to a three motor system in their consumer decks, I guess they had their reasons. My TEAC deck has 3 motors and is MUCH simpler in design and easy to maintain/repair. My cousin, who was the...

micromatic changer Oops. I am confusing Magnavox with Motorola.

Dishwasher All Ad That's a great ad, Chach. I have never seen a picture of DW All that old. It even has Monsanto name on it. No clue that Monsanto made deetergent. Wow. Thanks for posting it. No I am not quite that old, ha. The ad I remember was on TV in the late sixties. Who makes...

VM So did VM manuacture the "Micromatic" for Magnavox? It is a totally different mechanism than the standard VM that you saw on multitudes of various brands of stereo. The first photo is of the newer micromatic (late sixties) and the second the earlier version from the early sixties.) The...

Ampex deck Rex, I think theses were the typical Ampex decks produced in the late fifties/early sixties. The decks you and I remember, with the center controls in the cover over the capstain drive, I think came out about mid-sixties. I have a 1967 Allied Electronics catalogue, which by this...

record changer Can't really identify the record changer. It looks different than the typical "Micromatic" changers they had by the late sixties. At first I thought VM, but the upright levers on the changer controls are reminiscent of BSR. Or maybe their Micromatics just had a different style...

Anyone have French Provincial decor? This would blend right in. http://asheville.craigslist.org/fuo/4681748666.html

Cool vintage dishwasher That is a neat KA. Back in the days when machines had power. They did more than just pee on your dishes for two hours like many of todays machines do. Anyone remember, "Dishwasher All" ? That's what my mom usually bought. If I remember correctly it was in a blue box...

nice Roundie! Wooo! What a beautiful RCA Roundie. These are getting increasingly rare. Great find as usual, Phil. You're the best! Bear

needs to be rescued from the scrapper and given some TLC http://knoxville.craigslist.org/app/4672262689.html

out for trash? Will, it is sitting next to their trash can. Maybe they are going to set it out for the next pickup. Whether they aren't or are, you may want to ask them of you can have it. They may be very happy to have you cart it off and get it out of your way. Bear

slverware, colors and smells Thanks for posting this, Robert and allowing us a walk down General Electric's memory lane!   When I was very little, I remember one of our neighbors had a house with a built-in dishwasher. It was a builder-installed model,so it was probably 1953 - 1955 model as...

cute... Brings back good memories. I can remember the excitment of saving enough boxtops for toys and trinkets. Life was sooo much simpler then--at least when you were a kid it seemed that way.

wow You find the coolest things, Phil. You put the rest of us to shame. :) It's rare to find a roundie nowadays, but to find a roundie combo is phenominal, especially with an affordable price. the seller is a little off on the date, that is an early sixties model color TV. I would guess by...

stationery As Olav stated the geared collar does not move. It is screwed on. Sometimes they are a bear to get off. Unless there is a leak, I can't see much reason to remove the upper collar or lower coupling to which it is screwed it. There is a danger of damage trying to remove the collar...

Betcha can't guess Q: In what vintage television series did the above Motorola tv/phono combo appear? A: The Patty Duke Show, Season 3 (1965-66). If someone has the third year on DVD please check this and let me know if I am correct, I am runnig on memory only. It looks like the identical...

nice set, almost like Granny's Good looking set, Phil. Seems like a fair price since they are clean. Never have seen a center dial Maytag in operation, nor seen one up close in person But always wanted a set after seeing Granny's in the Beverly Hillbillies. lol It might be disappointing...

screw holes The screw holes are on the bottom of the panel and screw upward into the bottom door metal support it so they are not visible (until the rust continues to grow). But its a common rust starting point that I have seem. Presumably from moisture/drips running down the door. Do you...
