Interesting! Reminds me a little bit of the “lint chaser” fin on Westinghouse front loaders of the 70’s. Maybe this will help front loaders be a better option for pet owners. It’s a step in the right direction for sure. Thatwasherguy.

cfz2882... I think you’re right. I recall reading on here that WH sold their major appliance division to WCI at the end of ‘74, and that their small appliance division was put on the chopping block a few years prior. neptunebob... Thanks for the info! I never realized that Hamilton beach was...

I’be been a believer in liquid wrench… Ever since I used it to free up a pair of needle nosed pliers about five years ago. An HVAC tech left them at our house, and we found them about a month later, after having sat out in the rain and rusted just about completely solid. After leaving them in...

Hi everyone! Hope you are well. I just came across this listing for a beautiful turquoise Westinghouse hand mixer. I have found that Westinghouse mixers of this style can be quite elusive, especially in colors (I spent three years searching before I found a pink one), so I figured it was...

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well. I was browsing Ebay the other day, and found a listing for this 60’s-era Westinghouse hand mixer. I already have two others of this design in the collection, but both are different colors, and neither were this complete, so considering that it’s price was...

Well, It’s still better than modern white on grey interiors in my eye, and the floral wallpaper is nice. Thatwasherguy.

Thank you so much for the offer! Ideally, I’d like to get a built in unit with the changeable colors, but certainly wouldn’t say no to a portable, either. As long as it was built by Hobart, can be made to run, and says KitchenAid Superba on the console, I’m game. Thanks again, Thatwasherguy.

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. As you may know, I recently acquired a 1984 GE mark 27 range, which has put me one step closer to having a complete house of vintage major appliances. The last thing I need to complete this is a dishwasher. I’ve finally got the space to store one, so I’m...

Not dumb at all... I enjoy having a CD player in the car too. I’d even like to install a cassette deck and an 8-track player in mine at some point. No ads, and no subscription payments, just non-stop music. Thatwasherguy.

Seeing the state of new cars... I’m grateful to have my 2006 Pontiac Vibe. She has a 1ZZ-FE engine (the revised version that doesn’t burn oil), a regular four speed automatic transmission, non-flammable A1 rated R134a refrigerant in the A/C system (which still blows cold), and most of all, NO...

That’s interesting! Did G.M. actually build these, or did they just buy them from someone else and rebrand them? Thatwasherguy.

Oh wow! Break out Chubby Checker and do the twist, because that kitchen is the most 60’s design I’ve seen since the one in my Granny’s old house! I absolutely love all of the woodgrain paneling everywhere. It makes it feel so natural and inviting. The only thing missing is some fruit or...

NO insulation on top of the oven!? That’s INSANE! Especially when you consider that self cleaning ovens hit above 900 degrees in the self clean cycle. I can only imagine what that would do to the wires for the surface elements over time. Do you think it was a bad design or a factory defect...

Work has started on the ‘84 G.E... Last night was cleaning behind the control panel and re-attaching the Neon indicator lights to the jewels, along with diagnosing the issue with the right front burner (infinite switch was getting stuck on). I also noticed that the jewel for the burner light...

Hey everyone! Hope you are all well. As you may have seen in a previous thread, I acquired a 1984 G.E. Mark 27 drop-in range from a cousin’s kitchen remodel. I’ve had the chance to use it some, and have found that I really like it. The only things I don’t like are the lack of a self cleaning...

I’m back... And as promised, there are more pictures. I even got some shots of the new range they replaced this one with. The build date of the house turned out to be 1985, which would explain a production date of August 1984. I’m told that the temperature set knob for the oven is loose, and...

All righty folks... Break out the Pointer Sisters and grab your tickets to see the Terminator, because we are going on a road trip back to 1984! That’s right, I’m actually picking this thing up today! More pictures will follow. Thatwasherguy.

Murray... Is that the same Murray that made lawnmowers back in the day? I’ve got one with a Tecumseh engine from ‘89, and it’s an absolute tank. Thatwasherguy.

Thanks for the info everyone! Repairguy... The more I think about it, the more I agree that it’s probably 1984. The house was built around 1996, but there was a trailer there before that (1984 seems about right for it). The owner of this house was very frugal, so I’m betting that they took...

Hey everyone! Hope you are all well. I recently learned that a family member is remodeling their kitchen, and has saved for me their old stove, which is a beautiful 1996 G.E. Mark 27 drop-in. I am told that one of the surface units is out on it, but that’s nothing I can’t fix. I was doing...
