My first washer! This is the exact washer and the matching electric dryer in this same color I got when I got married. I purchased both units NIB here in Argentina from a Bolivian diplomat who'd brought them from the States. These were US standard voltage units (240/115V, 60 Hz) and he wouldn't...

Sorry, first post just "misfired". Emilio

Server kerosene refrigerator My 96 year old great aunt who lives in a country estancia has a running Servel kerosene refrigertor, standing right next to an electric modern refrigerator. From the looks it has to be a mid 60's model. My aunt keeps the Servel running because it keeps cooling when...

Great site! Enjoyed every single picture, specially the Cadillacs. Now that everything GM is memory, please watch this GM and Frigidaire commercial from 1961. It must be the worst commercial I have ever seen in my whole life! But then, the cars are beautiful, so are the Frigidaire appliances...

Thor... Is the brand of the washer I grew up with. Nurdlinger, was the movie you mentioned "Sam the good neighbor", with Jack Lemmon? I also loved that movie! Emilio

Reverse cycle valve A reverse valve is fitted in the refrigeration circuit which (when activated) reverses (switches) the roles of the condenser (hot) with that of the evaporator (cold). The valve looks like a cylinder with four tubes comining in and out of it, with an electrical connection...

Congratulations from the Southern Cone! Robert, I am so glad for you! What's your guess about your pulse rate when you finally saw the Apex in the driveway? Great story! Did the towels get a good cleaning? Were they fluffy? Emilio

...a coffe cup... Sandy, now that I think of if, I actually meant a small size Capuccino coffe cup...

March 21st... ...is the official start of autumn here in Buenos Aires, south of the Equator. This reminds me of a time I was having a haircut in this very fancy barber shop in Buenos Aires, it was in January, and the 20 something year old guy who was clipping my hair told me he had just come...

Arthritis Sandy, with utmost respect, you mention you are plagued with arthritis. I know someone who was almost crippled from arthritis, he felt so much pain he had to lie all day long in bed crutched in fetal position, that cured his condition and became a normal person just by drinking a...

Wood coal Place four paper mats on the floor carpets in front of each seat area and pile over each one of them a nice amount of wood coal. Leave overnight with windows closed. Worked for a friend of mine. Once smell is gone from car you can enjoy a good BBQ!

As seen from overseas... Please, don't want to offend no one with my humble opinion, but the shoes thrown at your president (yes, he still IS your president) by an Iraqi journalist are generally presented by the global media (absolutely biased towards Bush) as an act of humiliation that...

Next time... ...don't use sandpaper, use a metal file. Sandpapers leave an embebbed residue of sand in the copper which actually acts as a dielectric, hindering the normal flow of the electric current. Always use a metal file to eliminate the copper oxyde from plugs.

Softener dispenser Greg, my washer, which I purchased in 1980 and in essence was "identical" to yours, had a double timed dispenser for bleach and softner. The filling spout was divided into two halves, one for the bleach and the other for the softner. At the proper time during the main wash a...

Sorry, the "pause" button I mentioned is actually labeled Hold, which is located to the right of the panel right next to the Run key...

Greg, congratulation on your amazing find! That is the exact washer I purchased in 1980 with the matching gas dryer, but my set was harvest gold. The washer was excellent and I used it until mid 90's when I purchased my present Maytag set. I gave both washer and dryer to my BIL, who has 5 kids...

Cold water fill only... ...with no inboard water heater! For all washes and rinses you can choose from any water temperature, as long as it is cold. Not for me, no way. Look to page 7 of the user's manual. Emilio http://eden.electrolux.com.br/Eden_Brazil_2006/manuais/man_lta15.pdf
