Wow! Never seen one like that before. Never even heard of the Douglas brand. Congrats on a great find! Would you mind posting this over at audiokarma.org? The guys there would get a huge kick out of it. veg http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?

Big 40 for veg I only got 40%, but that's probably because I do most of my own repairs and stuff. Plus, how the hell am I supposed to know if "a good driver makes a good lover"? I'm not even sure I understood the question. The 40% seems a little low, especially when you factor in this equation...

Not sure if this applies, but I seem to remember a recall for B$D lawnmowers a while back. veg http://www.cpsc.gov/CPSCPUB/PREREL/PRHTML06/06232.html

Radio Tube Supply. Bought from "Dr. Roy" a number of times and the service is great (e.g. sent me a tube to try out to see if it fixed a problem. It didn't so I sent it back; no charge.) veg http://www.radiotubesupply.com/index.html

Thank you Thank you all for your emails, calls, cards, and kind thoughts. They are a genuine comfort during this difficult time. For now, I'm holding on to something a friend said: "May your grief be short and your memories long." Much love to you all, veg

Not mine But you gotta love the name...

Terry, we had a crepe maker in the '70s, too. I think ours was by Nordicware and I'm pretty sure we got it dirt cheap at a Stewart's warehouse sale. If I remember correctly, it got used once... Probably made its way to the Goodwill. Ah, well. It was just one more in the line of "Single Use...

Lather machine This is kind of an oddity. You fill it with water and add a bar of soap. A heating element keeps the water warm and when you push down on the little platform, a rotating brush spins through the water and against the soap, creating lather. It takes a moment for the lather to start...

Horizontal can opener Took me months of looking for this, but I finally found one. I really wanted the turquoise model, but Pete got the last one in existence ;) Unlike a regular can opener which cuts the lid vertically, this one slices it open horizontally. I think that's to make the lid safer...

Here are a couple of recent finds, all by Sunbeam. First up is M'Sieur Crepe. Anyone remember when crepes were all the rage back in the '70s? This made making them a little easier; rather than trying to spread the batter thinly and evenly in a pan, you dip the "bottom" in a pan of batter and...

Phooey! Can never get these "embed" things to work. You can make your own, though. veg http://www.mytalkingstain.com/

Well, if a 110V dryer is all you can have, you might as well have one. We got by with one for years, though we had a basement. The practice was to hang laundry on the lines in the laundry room overnight then send it for a fluff 'n fold in the dryer for a wee bit. More work, certainly, than just...

No, no. Josephine was Jane Withers, a former child star at the same time as Shirley Temple. Can't remember the name of the gal who appeared on Lucy. veg

Oh, I would love to have been in on the product development meeting for this. "What we're trying to do, Mr. Earnhart, is increase your fan base by appealing to a previously untapped demographic." veg

Ding ding ding! Gary gets it! Now he gets to go on to the Lightning Round! veg

Wrong, wrong, wrong! Especially you, One-L. Imagine--thinking someone would invite you anywhere! veg

Been using it in The Mighty 2800, but I don't notice any difference between it and the solid version in the little basket. veg

So what time does the Guest Star sign in? Man, you guys are going to have a GREAT time. Don't do anything I wouldn't do! veg

Bet it's a twinnie. veg
