Don Featherstone, the inventor of the plastic pink flamingo, died yesterday in Massachusetts. Some quotes of his: "An empty lawn is like an empty coffee table. You have to put something on it." "We sold people tropical elegance in a box for less than $10. Before that, only the wealthy...

Where can I get a little Maytag like Fred is holding? Is it a little Highlander?

great percs I love the pyrex perc - we had one when I was growing up. I was enthralled by the bubbles going up the stem and the first dark brown drops of coffee swirling into the water below the basket. Bear in mind that this was before the internet and cartoons were in black and white... I...

Dip-It I have found Dip-It in Boston supermarkets, but not in the cleaning aisle. I have found it in the coffee section next to the filters.

More Marcus If you enjoyed the previous video, watch "Marcus senior assembly" on YouTube. The quality of the video isn't the best, but it's worth suffering through to see what Hoover did for this great kid. David

Another autistic boy who loves vacuums Google 'Marcus Bartlett Hoover" for another great video. There is a great bit of vacuum artwork you can print for your wall. David (Sorry I don't know how to put a link here...}

DE701 I have a question on how the dial functions on this dryer On the three auto cycles, is the dial stationary like on a DE806? I assume the dial moves towards "off" on the two timed cycles. Also, how do you start the dryer? Push the knob in like the later model HOH dryers?

The SELFIE toaster!!! Check out burntimpressions.com for Christmas gift ideas. My Sunbeam AT-W seems so dated now. Order a JESUS toaster for those solomn Sunday brunches...

lady kenmore dryer What does the small knob on the right do? I can't make it out in the photos. To the best of my knowledge, no Kenmores of this vintage had push to start buttons.

PhilR That's the exact perforated door I had over the main wash compartment. The prewash compartment was open with no door. The building was constructed in the 1960's so the timing seems right for this feature. By 1977, using this machine was so infuriating that a terminal "leak" was...

BOL? model I lived in a 150 unit apt building (actually 2 different units over time) and all the units had the same Fridigaire appliances. Sunny yellow, but perhaps they were special builder units. This machine had two settings on the dial - HEAVY with a double wash and NORMAL with a prerinse...

Worst dishwasher I ever used/owned This dishwasher was in my first apartment. It had a slightly different knob. To turn the machine off, you pulled the knob out like the early kenmores/whirlpools. Knob could be advanced if desired. The worst part of the machine was the detergent...

sears detergent Great! I just scored a 180 load box for $3.99 ($11.99 less $8.00 in bonus points). Per the salesman, it's not technically being discontinued but being replaced by smaller packages for inventory reasons. Not sure what that means...

I have a quick question. Is the Sears Ultra Plus powder in the orange box the detergent everyone has raved about? It's marked down and I can get a great deal on it. Thanks, David

maytag highlander dryer Sandy, I have the electric version of this dryer model 67C manufactured in 1958. I believe the gas version is model 77C. These are HOH dryers in the old style wide cabinets. The timer has a single 120 minute cycle with a 3 minute cooldown at the end of the cycle...

Try chrysanthemum flowers Google chrysanthemums - they are a commercial source of insecticides. I'm sure recipes exist for a home brew if you want a liquid spray. In college, we sprinkled the dried flowers behind furniture and appliances to repel cockroaches and it worked.

806? Not a 806 (HOH) I think, but a 808 (SOH)?

Lorainfurniture I have tried to access your member profile but keep getting an error message stating that I must login first. I don't have any problem going to any other profiles. Do you know what's up? I wanted to see if you have a electronic control part #303049 for the DE806. Thanks, David

Reply #2 Jerry, How do I email you? You do not list your email on your profile. Let me know, David

Could one of the resident Maytag experts let me know if electronic control # 306920 is the correct part for a DE806? I need to replace mine. Thanks, David
