late model SQ wringer Wow, abcomatic, I didn't realize that there were wringers made that late. I do wonder when my was made now. Does yours have the plastic bumpy lid like mine? I'd like to replace my plastic lid with a porcelain one but, boy, how do you ever find that?

Ahhhh.... Love those lovely old illustrations. Reminds me of the "Dick and Jane" type readers we learned to read from. And that is exactly what I want my laundry room to look like, too. But I do have the problem of the dreary, windowless, gray cinder blocked damp basement with a really low...

Pump fix Gary, I 1st checked to make sure there wasn't any blockage in the drain hose by emptying by gravity. Lowering the hose to the ground and collecting the water in a dish pan. I was afraid of what I would find there because I found a dead mouse and tons of mouse poopie under the agitator...

Tide liquid "original" Btw, I ran 3 loads in the wringer with the Tide "original" (Not Ultra w/ "original scent) and they came out great! Especially the towels. I did need to do a double rinse on the towels, blankets, and jeans because it was quite sudsy. Anyway, it work much better in the...

Stainless steel tub Thank you so much, bradross, for the info about the speedqueen. And thank you for the lit. I have been trying to find a manual for mine but it doesn't seem to be in the files. I know mine is newer because it doesn't have those cool graphics. I love that chromey front plate...

tub metal in Speed Queen You know, Stan, I was wondering about the tub on my SQ. I thought it was stainless steal until I read here somewhere that the tubs were aluminum. I may have heard that about the Maytags and thought it was true of mine as well. I really don't know. Maybe someone with a...

Hi, I've gotten my Speed Queen wringer out and run a load after getting the pump running again. I don't have a owner's manual for my model (fw9093). Found tons of great info by searching the threads on so many topics but it's been spotty trying to put it all together. Soooo....few questions...

calrod I was wondering what the 'calrod' burner mrsnd. Can someone explain that? Is it the type of coils? I've noticed that my '53 Frigidaire 'Thrifty Thirty' the coils are very wide while the ge's and other brands are narrower. Does that have something to do with it? Thanks

I'm so sorry, Washdaddy, when I was rereading my post I realized that when I put quotes around the word 'daddy' it may have seemed rude. I never know how to address someone here if you don't know their name so I usually put the screen name in quotes. When I went back and read other threads I...

Rangehood That is some range hood, i agree. Do you think it could have been custom? Would this have been an 'off the floor' offering? That must be a high end house with the high ceiling and beams

Yes, it has a pump. And, "Daddy", I finally got it to work. After I looked under it and tried to figure out how the pump worked, I couldn't hear any sound coming from the pump. I thought the motor was dead. So I gravity drained it into a wash pan. But as I kept searching around...

Hi, I have a Speed Queen wringer washer (model: fw3093w). I just ran a load, washed, wrang, but now the water won't pump out. This is the 1st time I've used it. My brother tested it before I picked it up and the pump worked but we've moved twice in 3 years and I haven't gotten to test it out...

Oh, my goodness, Will, that is a beautiful Kenmore stove with the griddle in the center. Just lovely.

Yeah, at the time I kept kicking myself, trying to talk myself into liking the color "poppy." The thing I wonder is, what does poppy look like in real life? Because on my monitors it's only ever looked a little deeper/redder than coppertone. If it were more red and less coppertone-y I could...

I've seen the pale pink ringers in the barrel shaped Maytag ringers. In fact there's one for sale around here somewhere in beautiful condition with a chrome wringer arm on one of the Michigan craigslists. But it's $350. It's also in beautiful condition as I recall. I think someone posted it on...

1000$$$$$$$ You have got to be kidding me. There was one of these at some, either used appliance center or antique mall, advertised on craigslist for at LEAST 6 to 8 months. Mint condition. Looked like it had never been used. Crisp owners manual. $50. They knew what they had,too. They...

What a Great story about how your range came to you, Sandy. Just beautiful, she is, too. I've not seen one like that before. Pretty sooped up. Glad you got your dream machine. Have you posted pics of her in your kitchen? I bet your kitchen looks like something with all your vintage stuff in it...

My 2 cents... or...make that my 11 cents. If you are considering using a microwave as a method of birth control, take it from me: It does NOT work. At all. I have the 11 kids to prove it. And because of the 11 kids I use my Radarange a lot.

Wow.... Thanks, Ben. Good to know. I've just never seen one without the chrome. So best to wait for one higher up the line then. My current washing machine is on its last leg. I'm nursing it along until I find the right vintage one.

Best laugh all day... "with the warming tray above, so that you could set your cereal boxes on fire." ~ ROTO204 That would TOTALLY happen in my family. Still have kids that put plastic and paper things on my electric stove!!! And it's NOT the little ones, either... That aside, I am impressed...
