chinese... ...Midea. and similar to a VMW underneath.

early GE countertop. I saw one of those about 1980-owner said it was a wedding gift from 1970. I am pretty sure these were made by Toshiba-GE and Toshiba worked with each other back in the deep past.

I like LPS lamps-have a couple in the backyard for use when needed:) part of the problem with the dangerous,offensivly bright vehicle headlamps might be there is so much light in the car at night that the overly bright lights are needed to see out of the car!.A major part of the glare and light...

I hate white LEDs with a passion-misuse of these things for outdoor lighting has caused a dramatic increase in light pollution and glare as well as roadway and street lighting that is less effective and less safe-especially for peds than earlier technologies.I do like that outdoor fixtures with...

GE,mid-1980s sell-offs I think Ge sold off smalls to BD about 1985 and TVs/consumer electronics to Philips about '86-i recall some uproar at the time about that.Bought a new "GE" TV in 1991 and it was a rebadged RCA design...

2 failures I had,both with heavily used '84 GE were clock worked,but no action when start button pushed:1st incident was after lightning strike on power line-replaced PC board with one from junked unit.2nd incident,about a decade later has not been investigated yet.

super cool I would have bought that on sight! March 1981 build-I have one similar that is october 1981 build.

possible '74 units still kicking out coolness atop a local store,built in 1974,are two big units that look old enough to be original-I have seen the indoor blower,and it is a big belt-driven squirrel cage.Nice and cool in the store :) I was riding my "Big Wheel"trike in '74 :)

old Rheem that does look late-'60s era-probably has cool startup sound.Cabinet metal and copper piping thickness will be about twice that of anything made in the last 35yrs or so.I can smell the big PCB laced capacitors. :)

mostly 1975-85 American I kind of collect microwave ovens-have about 30,oldest '68 RR,newest '94 Magic Chef(US made) Several Japanese imports and one 1985 Korean in the mix too.DD used a 1984 GE and liked that one a lot-no turntable,so large items benefitted from being turned halfway...

have you looked over that PC board on the timer for broken solder joints ?

blows out fan My Mr Slim from 2012 blows outward through the fan as all the other brands i have seen except some older Haier minisplits.

a few oldies still chillin recently fixed condenser fan on one at a golf clubhouse:1968.Blower on one from 1982.A recent interesting one recently taken out of service was a gas-fired absorbson type:a little belt for chilled water circulation shredded and replacement belt could not be...

Repair jorts easy fix for someone with a sewing machine-reinforce the pull through with a patch of scrap denim :)

was the pulley broken as shown,or did the tech do that for some reason? Plastic pulleys are found in couple other 1990s-newer appliance designs,including MT Atlantis and Neptune.

before digging too deep... ...do check the outlet powering the fridge is delivering enough voltage and amp capacity.

i have a 2010 VMW Cabrio(in collection as historical artifact,gets rotated into use on occaision) and i can say that thing can do a good wash job if load size is just right :) The goofy rebalance routine is bad though.

US made and Peltier type Those Delco GM parts are likely big transistors-if you can read the #s on those parts post them-there will be a date code on those.

cheap china ACs I have recovered several of these at the curb-often only need cleaning of condenser, on one ulta-thin tubing of evaporator corroded through and released the butane refrigerant...

The thread with the RCA Whirlpool cooler reminded me of a Norge cooler ad i had seen in a magazine from around 1962-63:this one was the only ad i had seen for this basicly beverage cooler that was ~3x the size of the one in the RCA whirlpool thread-about 12"deep,2'high,2.5' wide.Quite a bit of...
