Next An original rose 302. Updated cords, but otherwise, all original. The phones on the first floor work through the switchboard.

OK Since I worked my way through high school and college working at the phone company at cord toll switchboards, how could I not be hooked on good old Bell Telephones (and AE and NE, etc. etc.)? First off, my Western Electric 556a manual auxilliary switchboard. Has ten manual station...

BTW I have a local repairman to keep the 906s in shape. He had a 3 valve water inlet in stock for this specific machine if you can believe it. I keep him coming back to tune them up. Love it! We call him "Dan - the Man!" When he walked in the back door and saw the 906s he said "Wow!"...

Definitely Thinking About attending. I am just three hours away and can't resist seeing all those machines. Are vacuum folks invited? (PS - I have some vintage washers, dryers and dishwashers too!) Do these count?

Just Finished Talking With You But again, have a great day to a great guy! Have fun with Robert and Fred this weekend! Fred

PS Robert - a little birdie told me you removed something from the DE906 dryer. I'll just have to replace it! Fred

And the other sister The KDS-57 in the laundry room as well. Great for large dinner parties. Used them all at the same time for Thanksgiving.

Here's The KDI-14. Robert noticed that the bearings are starting to make some noise. Fred S said "Oh, you can fix that this weekend too!" You should have seen the look on Robert's face. Oh well, I guess that will be a project for another weekend at Tarantula Arms.

Here's Robert Explaining the finer points of the KDI-14 wash arm (and it's slight variations from the 12) from the machine in my laundry room right off the kitchen, now back in service with the help of the wonderful folks on this site.

Here's What She Replaced Not bad, but not a 17!

Loaded And ready to go.

Terry Lattz Made short work of putting her to work.

She's Back In all her glory!

Another Of the (re)installation. Thanks Greg and Robert!

Well, one of my favorite dishwashers is the KitchenAid KDS-17. I bought one new back in Chicago and had it until I moved to LA in 1979. Have had a number of machines including a few later KitchenAids, but have never had one as good as the 17. I am not saying it is the best, but it is definitely...

Glass Bowls Fred - I have wanted one of these - but they are not cheap. I found them in the Chef's Catalog. Check this out. http://www.chefscatalog.com/product/25564-KitchenAid-Glass-Mixing-and-Measuring-Bowl-K5GB.aspx

Fred here, Webmaster of Vacuumland. Just got this email (one of many I receive as Robert can attest!) Thought this would be best posted here. If anyone can help him out, that would be great. You may want to talk him out of the machine as well. I have his permission to post his email. Contact at...

Seems Like A Damn Shame That this is what it is going to replace. Saw that turquoise beauty up close this weekend. Wow! The backwards-running clock is the icing on the cake. Bravo Greg! Great job. Now to find the right dishwasher to share the kitchen with it! Fred

You may have seen the Maytag 906s that I got from Greg. Well, after 40 years they needed some work. The washer needed a new water valve (3 selenoids). Terry Lattz was here while I drove Greg to the airport this summer and the machine malfunctioned (valve stayed open) and overflowed into the...
