growing rocks Yep, sure do remember those, had a set. If one didn't have a deep enough container, they would form flat "pads" when they reached the surface of the water

Supercar Wow, you're only the 3rd person I've heard mention "Supercar" since 1960!

Clutch Cargo Sure do remember "Clutch Cargo" with human nouths in a cartton face. And let's not forget Gumby!

Sunbeam frypan I had one of those frypans, but mine had a square glass window in the lid. It worked great, but I gave it away since it was not immersible and therefore a pain to clean.

questions So what brands are the washer, range, and refrigerator the modern housewife is shown using? And what brands are those appliances in the later shot with picture overlays of those 3 appliances. Incidnetally, is there a rinse cycle in this machine?

additive storage and don't forget that GE had a bleach storage system on some of thier combos and TL washers

best agitation Toss-up between Frigidaire and Philco Automagic, from what I've observed in videos.

clean air vs dirty air vacs "The reason for this is that the dirt passes through the impeller and throws it up into the bag so no matter how full the bag get you still maintain full suction power at all times" Oh no you don't. If a bag is full it doesn't matter whether the air is being...

gas automatic burners "I have only seen the gas version. With the gas version the size of the flame is determined by the user, then the desired temp is set. The gas cycles on and off to maintain that pre-set temp. " Didn't work that way on my Gaffers & Sattler range. There was a section on...

car record players Aftermarket car record players were also available to fit any car. A friend of my Dad's had one

Wine "David-sorry fo spell bad, but I just had a glass of Boones farm!" So do you prefer it over Annie Green Springs? :-)

peeves incorrect sorting of clothes, like mixing towels with sheets and shirts or cottons with synthetics so the washer gets unbalanced and the moisture sensor in the dryer is fooled. People who keep "peeking" in the dryer to check for dryness instead of letting the Auto Dry do its thing...

favorites Probably easier to say what I DIDN'T like. Was never a fan of cartoons like Gigantor, Speed Racer, and such with that cheap looking, stop motion animation where all the characters were always exclaiming with their mouths open

favorites Remember the "Follow the bouncing ball" sing-a-long cartoons? That's how I learned to spell "Mississippi". I haven't seen Heckel and Jekyll, or Deputy Dawg mentioned. Touche Turtle & Dum Dum Often the supporting characters were as funny as the starm i.e, in the Felix The cat...

Electrolux 60 My Maternal Granny's machine! Except hers didn't have theh little wheels in back. Loved how it shoved the full bags out.

repairs "The LK washer leaks water & oil so she bought a nice used 6 month old Kenmore pair from us." Sounds like a agitator shaft seal, not a hard job. Gearcase will have to be emptied and fresh oil put in, probably contaminated by water

'63 LK This is the washer that replaced a '55 frog-eyed KM that was in our house when we moved in. The '55 was repaired and used for a few years, after whichit was replaced by the '63 LK and given to a friend where it soldiered on for quite a few more years. The "63 was replaced by a '78 LK...

Slow cooker liners Is this a new product? I've never seen slow cooker liners before.

Ronco, Presto, & GE Ronco stuff is sort of cheap. Presto stuff is at least as good as the other small appliance makers. There was a generation of GE Toaster Ovens BEFORE these. They were rounded in stylelike older toasters, and the bread went into a slot in top like a conventional toaster, but...

community dishwasher I can't imagine it being any worse than "what's been in THIS washer before me" in any laundromat. I used to be a dishwasher at a resteraunt, and thier dishwasher was the conveyor type. The staff had to separate each tray of dirty dishes into racks designed for the various...
