Bob: I hear you about yellowed plastic on white-on-white appliances! For me, the perfect modern-day combination, where plastic must be used for cost reasons, was black handles, etc., on white. I know a lot of people feel it's a dated look now, but at least the trim didn't yellow.

Steve: "I didn't stay around long enough to hear the comeback!" There is a mysterious warming trend in much of the country....

Does Almond.... ....Ever look quite SO Almond as it does next to white?

Your Mixmaster: Is a Model MMA or MMB, known to collectors as a "Plasticmaster," because its outer shell is plastic instead of the cast metal of earlier models. MM-series mixers are good mixers. However, because they're both recent and very plentiful, they're not economical to repair; you can...

Range Hood w/Sensi-Temp Control: Ni-yuss! The combination of that hood (with its correct cooktop) and an early JK29 in Yellow would be quite something!

William Wasemann: Appears to have passed away prior to 2000; I found a discussion group post referring to his death. One of his twin sons, Michael, passed away in 2010. I wasn't able to find much more, with the exception of patent applications, which are very numerous.

Jeff: I'm thinking that those differences are from one year to the next - say, 1965 vs. 1966, or similar. GE's trim differences were from model to model, and those two ovens seem to have the same equipment, meaning they were not different models.

Jeff: They're very similar, but the clock and meat thermometer dials are different (dark on the Yellow version, light on the Turquoise), and the inserts on the oven door handles are different, too - metal-look on the Yellow one, black pebble-texture on the Turquoise. Still, I have not seen...

Thanks, Mark! Note to self: Must get 10-series brochure. P.S., Mark - you still coming down?

Nick: I gotta hand it to you on that oven - I have never seen that one before. Looks like maybe 1965, TOL conventional-clean. Does anyone know for sure?

A710S: "S" for suds saver? Anyone know?

Bob: I agree. As much as I love the New Generation machines (particularly early ones with the blue control panels and chrome-top lint filters, etc.), I could see myself with a 712 pair. But not the 710s; those buttons are not my thang. P.S.: Here's a link to a thread where the entire 12...

Bob: You're right, but then I'm not as "into" the 10 and 12 series as I am the New Generation machines, so I have to look and think - and sometimes fact-check - a little more when 10s and 12s are under discussion. For me, that snazzy water level control is the clincher. I also have a...

Tim: I looked again, and you're right - that's the TOL machine, an A710. I missed the presence of the infinite water level control to the left of the pushbutton arrays.

Maytag: Late '70s/early '80s 10-Series, pretty far up in the line, but not yet a collector's dream.

Tom: That bird looks to be upwards of 20 pounds. So far as the placement of the range is concerned, it's all about product photography, not actual use. A photo of a range built into the middle of a run of cabinets diminishes the range's presence. Putting it at the end of a run gives the...

I'd Be Interested.... ....To hear from owners of these units regarding their cleanability. Every time I see these things, I have a vision of fried chicken or bacon spatters covering every exposed atom of their surface, with lots of time, lots of Job-like patience and a powerful degreaser...

Duane: I think the reason cargo shorts got such a bad rap was, once they became fashionable, they were seen on guys who were carrying way too much cargo.

Phil: Remember that the shots I posted are also professional product photography - styled, lit and retouched to bring out detail. A Craigslist photo shot with someone's camera phone just can't do that. BTW, do you love the way the oven's propped on the Spacemaker 30, with that...

Washer in Reply # 27: That's on a farm somewhere outside Ames, with well water that has a high iron content. You see that in the boonies here.
