I guess I'm going to have to pack up my southern accent and move to Minnesota. We don't have estate sales like that here. Congrats on your great finds. I like!!!

Thanks for posting these, Hans. I never get tired of vintage Christmas!

My old Maytag washer (model 142) is giving me another hurdle to jump. I think my motor is frying. Washer starts up just fine in agitate or spin mode, runs smooth and quiet, but the motor heats up very fast, smells hot, and emits a faint swirl of smoke when I stop it. I'm not sure this is the...

UPDATE: Now that I've found the matching dryer, my washer has poured it's oil onto the floor. I have a transmission that I can transplant, but would it be more advisable to just replace the oil seal in this one?

I like the way they're confident enough to put SPEED QUEEN in big bold letters. Seems most washer makers are ashamed to have their name visible on their machines.

That was my mama's washer, too! It replaced a cir. 1957 Kenmore Cycla Fabric (sp?) washer, mom's very first automatic. That Kenmore 600 was bought the year I was in 2nd grade and was used until 1976--about 10 years. Probably could have been fixed then but was starting to rust pretty bad from...

Any way we can get a picture of that Fedders AC unit?

I bought a second hand Frigidaire TL for my son several years ago when he moved out, still using it with no problems or repairs needed. I just replaced the belt on my sister's 13 yr. old Frigidaire. She said it had needed one simple repair when under warranty, otherwise no problems till this...

Good job!! Interested in coming down to B'ham to help me with a few of my projects? I just can't seem to find the time to accomplish what I'd like. Your attention to detail would certainly suit me to a T!

I absolutely love mine. With a dog and 2 cats in the house, any vacuum with a bag would start to smell like animals within just a few uses after a new bag. With the Filter Queen, I empty the canister and shake the loose dust off the filter cone after each use and there is no bad odor. Plenty of...

Thanks thefixer! That gives me a starting point, the information I needed.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a Maytag dryer model # MED5740tqo that they can share? Problems are: 1. No cool down period---heat continues to cycle on/off till the dryer shuts off. 2. I replaced the 4 position temp. switch but there is no difference in the temp. on the 3 selectable...

I've always liked Windmaker fans, have had a few over the years but none at this time. I remember furniture stores selling them, would display a row of them in the front window, arranged from smallest to largest.

Several of these have turned up locally on Craigslist lately. Are they that bad? One ad says "doesn't clean as well as a new one..." another says "doesn't dry well."

Yes, thanks. Frigidaire Imperial Flowing Heat Dryer. Model # DIAK Ser# 86SA 9734. It's not the small screen on your phone preventing you from seeing the numbers, it's the poor photography!

Here's my one and only. This dryer works but needs a little attention. Anyone have a repair manual?

You've got the Hotpoint I've lusted for for YEARS! Great to see one still in existence. Please make some videos of this washer doing it's thing. Haven't seen one in operation since the very early 70's

You're more than welcome, Gregg. Glad you're enjoying it. I was hoping you'd post it here this year! Will get a pic of mine up in a few days.

We bought one of these new in 2004 (wife's choice) and have never had any repairs. Washed for a family of 4 at the time, (has FINALLY dwindled to just wife and me!!!!) It gets the job done, but you are right, it does look, feel, and sound cheap. The timer motor is almost as loud as the washer...

Like many of you, I never met Kelly but I have grown to respect his wisdom, his talents, and his courage. May God bless his friends and family as they mourn.
