Don't these get purchased to be filled with ice and used for outdoor parties? Our Homart single tub was white on the outside and galvanized on the inside.

Thanks, Tom.

All of this McGraw Hill talk has made me wonder what was the brand name of the air conditioners they produced. When I was about 12 or so, there was a new bank in our shopping center that was in a building like a portable classroom. It had two big through the wall air conditioners that were made...

That was TOL in the mid 80s. A friend had them in his house in Florida as part of the builder's appliance package.

They are not that great. If you will remember both the washer and the dryer ran on a single 30 amp circuit so it's a slow dryer.

Instructions say to fill tub without load to ensure full fill and only add load after agitation starts. The water level switch is a metal part of the tub frame and the tub presses against it when full. The undertow action of the agitator and the flexing tub is remarkable.

I noticed that they call the suds saver "Sudsomatic" in this catalog page. Wasn't that Maytag's term for that Rube Goldberg device that Maytag introduced that was placed in the sink and plugged in to return the suds through the hose that you placed into the washer's tub? They must have gotten...

Couldn't your father's friend just open the access to the timer and start it that way or failing that, just keep using the same quarter? Don't tell me your father sold the machine without a key to the coinbox.

Unfortunately, the cooktop does not have the lights for the surface unit switches so not TOL, although the oven is.

If nothing is placed on the coil to conduct heat away, it will glow red at higher settings. I think these pictures were made to show that the hot plate works. What was said about the coils glowing red was in regard to when a pan was sitting on the element and not making good contact.

I have wondered why WP let Sears keep the self-cleaning lint filter for so long.

I think it was in 2000 when we had a severe drought. I had some young trees that I watered with rinse water from the top loaders I was using then. I drained the machines into a 30 gallon container with a submersible pump with a male hose adapter on the outlet and I sent the water outside through...

"Switch Top Disposal" is an interesting term for a batch feed disposer. Early Hotpoint disposers were called "Waste Exit," I think I remember. You could run the portable disposal in the garden with the garden hose and put the stuff back in the soil.

Great find Robert. We ran across Blackstone coin op washers in a Miami laundry in 1957 or 58. I could not see as much of the operation as I wanted because my parents were sitting close to the machines reading the Sunday Miami Herald. This looks to be a newer design, by about 10 years, than the...

A friend's Sub Zero starts sounding a chime if the door is left open too long.

The styling matches my W1986 and W1918 washers.

Kevin, good to see a post from you. Wasn't that something to see the floating bar of Ivory in the tub which meant there was no searching for a bar of soap underwater because the bar of soap had to be replaced in the soap dish before the tub was drained?

But they got the water use down which got them a "good boy" and a pat on the head from the federal regulators.

Modern dishwashers and modern dishwasher detergents instruct users not to rinse dishes before loading so maybe your washing dishes by hand before loading is why modern dishwashers are not cleaning your dishes well. You are not giving them enough soil to trigger the turbidity sensors so they...

One thing you should note is the size of the burner heads. There was a miserable period where cheap gas ranges used these very low BTU burners that would take FORf*******EVER to boil a pot of water and a long time to return the water to a boil after adding pasta. There is no 12,000 BTU burner on...
