“Orth” stands for “Orthophonic sound” a term coined by RCA in the early 20’s for the superior sound reproduction from their Victrola’s and records. I don’t know what Lon and S.Fil stand for. Eddie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Orthophonic_Victrola

I’ve been wearing Levi’s since I was a toddler. I can still see my Dad on his knees in front of me rolling up the cuffs on my stiff, new unwashed blue Levi’s with a Chesterfield hanging off of his lip. Mine and my little brother’s legs were so short that Dad had to cut some of the bottom of...

Yes Mark, you may choose an extra rinse if desired. Eddie

For those concerned about the turnover in the Amana and Roper machines it is just like the TL’s of yore, that is provided you use the Deep Fill option or Bulky cycle. I’ve washed kingsized comforters, bedspreads and blankets and they all turned over just like any old fashioned TL. Using Auto...

The Amana NTW4516FW 3.5 cu ft still has the dual action agitator. The 3.8 cu ft NTW4519FW is the model that has the stupid wash plate and pole. I’ve got the Roper “sister ship” RTW 4516FW2 and have used it for 6 trouble free years. I think that Magic Clean’s friend will be very happy with her...

I put my Kitchenaid Stand mixer back in the cabinet above our refrigerator this afternoon. The only thing that I really had been using it for was to knead bread dough. Now that I’ve rediscovered the pleasure of kneading yeast dough by hand and the superior quality of the finished bread I...

I paid $7.19 for a doz eggs on Monday at Target, to me that’s outta sight. They were $7.49 a week ago and $7.99 two weeks ago. So they’re going down, but still too high. We pay much higher prices in California than in most of the rest of the country. Eddie

Latest Update to My Bread Baking Routine With the price of eggs literally outta site last month I began tweaking my master bread recipe to eliminate eggs. I also had been watching several YT videos about making bread dough without using a mixer and kneading by hand instead. Everything I...

I can assure you that I’m “reality based” right here on terra firma Jerome. One man’s reality is another man’s poison. Eddie

Times change Jerome. I’m almost three times your age and I can adapt to it. Give it a try, you may find some things that you like about innovation. Eddie

Chet, my Shredmore was a 2000 model and it was a two speed. Slow wash was too slow, nothing really moved around at all, and fast was too fast and it literally tore the sh*t outta the clothes. On my Roper the Normal/Regular cycle does have tempered hot water washes and spray rinse. But should...

Chet yes my washer is based more on the old school design but on Auto Sense fill, Normal/Regular cycle it essentially operates like an HE TL and in fact on the lower left corner of the control panle it dies indicate HE/High Efficiency. I can put an entire 3.5 cu ft laundry basket full of...

Oh for cryin’ out loud Jerome, have you actually used an HE Top loader? My 6 year old Roper (built by Whirlpool) RTW4516FW2 on the Auto Sense water level uses just enough water to cover the load by approx. 1-2” and I can guarantee you that this bad boy has gotten EVERY load that I’ve washed...

There’s absolutely nothing “political” about recognizing Climate Change and the reality of the Earths limited natural resources. But there certainly seems to be one side of the political spectrum that wants to make this political. Just because some folks feel that it’s their God given right...

Rex, I’m sorry to hear that your job is in jeopardy due to the “DOUCHE” rape of the federal government. What a terrible thing it is for VOA to be shut down after over 80 years of bringing the truth and current world news to countries around the world that may not have access to it. I hope...

My fascination with old magazines began in 1964 when we moved to the Northern California coast and I attended the 8th grade at Fort Ross Elementary School, a proverbial little red three room schoolhouse built in 1885, it’s a historical monument now. My classroom had 6th, 7th and 8th grades in...

Louie, I really do love and enjoy these threads about the vintage food, appliances, cars and other “modern” products that you post. In the 70’s and 80’s I used to buy old magazines from used bookstore just so I could pour over the advertisements. All of my life I’ve had an interest in the...

Re:#’s 39 & 40 Louie, When I was 3 years to 7 years old my first best friend Paul’s father was a Salesman for Sunshine Biscuit Company out of San Francisco, Calif. Sunshine cookies were always available at his house. When I started kindergarten we walked to and from the school bus stop...

Yes, if the Time Bake function is turned on then the oven will only turn on at the preset time that shows on the clock. If this doesn’t work then I don’t know what else could be wrong except maybe the oven control needs to be replaced. There are lots of members here that have much mote...

Did the delay start control for the oven somehow inadvertently get turned on to auto start? Check the see if it’s on manual. If not set to manual and then try the oven again, this may all that’s needed to get your oven to turn on. Good luck! HTH, Eddie
