Knoxville set I’m pretty sure the Knoxville stove and fridge are harvest gold since my folks had that exact same harvest gold refrigerator back in the late ‘70’s/ early 80’s when I was in High School. Lol. BTW how are you finding these, I have been combing Knoxville Craigslist for 2 months. I...

Sunny yellow That first stove is fabulous! As far as painting is concerned, we had the fridge painted, but I’m concerned about how well paint will hold up under heat and a stove gets a lot more abuse than a refrigerator (scratches). I sold a yellow GE stove about 10 or more years ago, but it...

Once again I’m in the market for vintage appliances. We’re getting ready to sell up and move to some acreage so we’ll be building this time. The idea is to build the kitchen in vintage so that means vintage appliances in good condition. Since my ‘64 Coldspot fridge was refurbished in yellow...

I run across these all the time, I will take a second look next time I see one for sure.

Has anyone here ever used one of these? They look like they might be a bit of a pain to use over a regular iron.

Beautiful, Too bad it’s so far away.

I have the Kenmore top loader in the first picture. I believe it’s a 1992 model that I bought at a used appliance store 3 years ago. This is a VERY good machine, it can hold two blankets easily at the same time and does a good job of getting the soap out. I like the fact that it not only has a...

??? Are you sure this isn’t a scam? There is no description and the price just seems too good to be true.

My current dishwasher is about to die and I’m looking for a classic NOS dishwasher from the 60’s, 70’s, or 80’s. I’m sure these are as rare as an albino elephant, but I really don’t want to buy another modern junk dishwasher. Does anyone happen to know of one. I’m fine with just about any...

Buzzing on start up Thanks so much for all of the information, we really appreciate the help.

Buzzing on startup John L, it buzzes for about for about 4 seconds as it fades out. It is a little bit noisy, but then settles down and the temps are behaving now that the 3 in 1 has been replaced and there is some food in it. I use it as a secondary fridge in my basement kitchen and I always...

Combo52, thanks for the information. The only concern I have now is the buzzing noise that the fridge makes when the compressor comes on, is this something I should worry about?

Diesel cars of the eighties I remember back in the early to mid 1980’s someone my husband worked with had a diesel Cadillac. We lived in Minneapolis at the time and I remember him coming home at night in the dead of winter saying that this guy’s car had to be pushed into the Republic Airlines...

Fudge Anyone remember a fudge recipe from the 1960’s that had Velveeta cheese in it (yes’, I did say Velveeta) It was awful! I think it might have been another Kraft holiday recipe.

Glass top stoves I agree with toploader55. The first time I ever had to cook on one was when we were stationed in the UK back in the early ‘90’s. I was constantly cleaning up boil-overs and when the liquid got beneath the pan, the pan would bounce up and down on the boiling liquid. I have a...

UPDATE: Installed the 3-in-1 unit from SUPCO. Units seems to be running as quietly as before. I had previously replaced the defrost timer. Now, with the fridge and freezer both empty and the thermostat set on 4, she gets down to 8-10 degrees in the freezer and very low 30s in the fridge...

If they would ship this Greyhound, I would have it tomorrow. I have never seen an Early American style oven like that before, I’m in LOVE!

Once again, Thank You for the quick reply! We shall get one ordered ASAP!

Thank you for the information. Would you recommend a 3-in-1 unit such as the SUPCO that pops up when I search for “refrigerator starter capacitor”? I want to be sure that I do no damage in the process of trying to repair this lovely unit. Again, thanks for your support!!!!

Turbokinetic, I’m 63kenmore’s other half (the handy one). Our 64 ColdSpot (106W16EL5) stopped working recently, and was making a noise. The noise sounds like a second of electrical arcing flowed by a click. Cycles about every 10 seconds or so. I’m guessing the compressor “starter”. Am I...
