The planter wringer...

Hey everyone! I just got back from a trip to pick up a wringer washer in Madison, Indiana. While I was there, I saw WAYYY more vintage appliances than I thought I would. In fact, I think this is the world record for the highest number of vintage major appliances I’ve seen in one day period...

Junior and I have been on a tour of Madison... In the process, I saw another vintage (1970 model Maytag) wringer washer, an early WCI Frigidaire fridge, and a complete shaded coppertone G.E. Kitchen (stay tuned for a thread about them). Meanwhile, here’s another picture of my wringer. Thanks...

Hey everyone!! I am so happy I feel like dancing! I am currently in Madison, IN, purchasing a wringer washer. It is an electric Maytag Gyrafoam from the late 1930’s! The motor runs, but it squeaks quite loudly, so I don’t want to run it anymore until I can oil it. Also, when I attempted to...

Man, that must be so frustrating... I’m so sorry to hear about your dishwasher. I had to give up a 2003 Maytag due to rack rot and control board failure about a year and a half ago, so I can relate. That said, if you must get a new machine, I personally adore the entry-level Bosch. I have...

I don’t think the clutch is damaged... Considering that the machine still runs in slow speed for the first few seconds of agitation. If the clutch were damaged from a speed shift with the motor running, I don’t *think* it would run on low at all. The only FF I’ve ever worked on was a low-end...

A little late to the party... But I’m here! I’ve got several vintage mixers (as well as a modern KitchenAid stand mixer). I was actually just given 4 mixers today. One has stripped gears, and the battery operated one has corroded batteries in it. I can likely reverse the corrosion with...

The results are in... Thanks for the compliments everyone! I’ve been doing quite a bit of cooking with this to try and get to know it a little better. I did several things so far. First, I tested how it does with French fries. I like mine fairly crispy, so my range does better with them, as...

These were already sold... But I like these threads just for the pictures, so here they are! In addition to these, I got some close-ups of the stove’s console.

1987 Kenmore microwave! If the lady of the house would have allowed it, this would have been mine for $10. Missing it’s handle though.

Vintage toaster oven! A good old Toastmaster, by McGraw Edison. $100

Anyone up for a Kenmore? Pretty beat up though. $100

Vintage Range! Self-cleaning too. $100

Hey everyone. So, I had some spare time, and I got this strange feeling that I should go into the ReStore off of Southland Dr, since I was in the area. Boy, am I glad I did! They had multiple vintage machines in there. This is my first time posting in the Shoppers Square, so bear with me if...

Vids of it in action please!! That’s a strange looking agitator for sure! It looks like it has plenty of potential to work well. I found a short video of it on YouTube a while back, and it looked like it used plenty of water, and got respectable turnover. Given these observations, I’d be...

New element arrived... But, there’s a catch. The idiots at Amazon didn’t package the thing worth a crap, and the end of it is bent. Is it advisable to straighten it out, or am I setting myself up for a premature element failure? I recently installed a second oven as you may have seen in a...

Congratulations!! They look beautiful. Avocado green is one of my favorite appliance colors. Lots of luck with them! A family friend of ours has the exact same washer you have there, although it’s not nearly as cool as yours! What paint did you use? I always love to see someone get...

Hey everyone! I hope the day finds you well. My beloved 2006 Frigidaire electric range, which has been largely trouble-free, is in need of some help. I noticed about a month or two ago that the bake element is cracked. (All elements are original.) Since then, the crack has gotten...

Finally done! Just got done wiring it in tonight. It is currently running its 30 minute “cook-off” cycle to burn off all of the oils and such that were left over from manufacturing. I can’t wait to actually cook with it. I have dinner plans tomorrow that involve the convection function...

Hey everyone! I am excited to share with you the latest installment in our home. After years of desperately needing one, we are finally getting a second oven. (Don’t worry, for the 2006 Frigidaire electric range won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.). Sadly, it isn’t vintage, but it’s (at...
