....just wondering how "old" we are...i'm 54....(and i know that some will not want to divulge age...that's ok...just don't respond...lol). i am sure there are lots of "boomers" here....

electric or blade? I have been bearded, either full or goatee, since 1979, but do trim my neckline or face when goatee'd with an Atra razor that I bought in 1978. It's getting hard to find blades for it, though....

custom care As described earlier in the thread, the Custom Care button slowed the agitation to gentle during any cycle. Spin speed remained the same......

not an overload problem here.... I don't overload and I do measure, but I do realize many are guilty. Having learned "laundry" from my Mom (aka June Donna Cleaver Reed) during the 60's, overloading was almost considered a sin, and it never happened. She turned all of the laundry chores over to...

While at a family dinner yesterday, my cousin and I both discovered that we were "sporting" the same rash. She had just been to her doctor for treatment and he had told her that she had a detergent rash. We both discovered we were Tide users...I use Tide Powder with Bleach, she uses Liquid Tide...

custom care button We had these machines, in the avocado version. My parents purchased them in 1969, and we used them until 1991 and then I gave them away after my mom's death and the house became mine. (had to keep the Maytags :) I had bought in the early 80's and installed in the basement)...

popper lid and i meant "popcorn" popper ;) ...nothing else. Why don't you try a lid from a can of coffee or canned nuts or something similar? Looks like the size would be about right...might want to put a few holes in the lid to let the steam out...

correction Homer Laughlin IS the company that MANUFACTURES Fiesta...the company is very much still in business......

depends... on one's geographic region. here in the northernmost region of the south, most folks call it "pop". my family calls it a "soft drink". i guess this came about to distinguish it from a "hard drink"...one that contained alcohol....

stuck soap the water flow to the soap dispenser was probably blocked by a tall piece in the machine. if this happens only once in a while, IMHO, the water flow is the problem, since the cover of the dispenser is opening.

vintage Cascade... i forgot about that. MMMMMM...can smell it in my mind's nose now......

yes, it did shake the house We had the ElectricSink version of the one in the commercial in a related link. It DID shake the house. Steam billowed out the vent ridges on top of the door during the entire cycle. Gravity drain connected to a "Y" in the basement that also drained the kitchen sink...

lazy susan door the reason this is called a "lazy susan" door is that when opened, the broiler swung out, too. it was attached with a hook and eye type "thingy" that caused the broiler pan to swing out as the door opened...

two ovens? no, this stove didn't have two ovens. the space on the left, with the lazy susan door was a wonderful broiler. i have never seen a stove with a better broiler...broiled things to perfection,with no smoke ever. we had this stove from about 1960 until 1966. my parents bought it used...

do not call for five years... If I remember correctly, I think the time limit on the do not call list has been extended to "forever". Don't think it must be renewed at the end of five years.

what a "suds-saver" is.... MiHi: A "suds-saver" washer pumps the wash water out into a tub and the tub holds it for the next wash, thus "saving" the "suds". After the washer finishes the cycle with fresh water for the rinse, you set the machine to "return" the wash water to use again and the...

so glad that i read this thread again. I was just thinking of posting here again. I sent the agitator by UPS Friday and it should arrive Tuesday. Had a WONDERFUL phone conversation with bajaespuma last night. I am so glad this site exists and hope that the original purpose of it does not get...

second We had a 1973 GE portable, that was later built in, with the "two speed" feature. Worked just as described in the above postings. You could actually hear the difference in the force of the water. Mother used it more for plastic and melmac than she did china and crystal.... Was a great...

just don't read the political threads ....or respond to them...i don't....(there's too much good stuff posted elsewhere on this site to waste your time reading the political threads).....just MHO :)

agitator trade sent you an e-mail......
