Hi there Laurent!  I work on fridges quite often. Could you explain the meaning of "grip" to me? Are you talking about the attachment points for the condenser on the back of the cabinet?  A picture of the necessary part would help quite a lot!   Sincerely, David  

Definitely; always use a trustworthy secure drive-wipe program on any storage media you sell. Or more ideally don't sell it with storage.   In the very early 2000's, a friend of a friend brought me a "pallet" of 8 or 9 desktop computers; marked with "scrap."  He wanted to have "one good...

I would avoid Pine-Sol in laundry. When I was younger, a friend had a bedwetting problem and his parents washed everything in Pine-Sol.  Now I automatically imagine the odor of soured piss when I smell it. I used to hate it when visiting their home and having to sleep on pissy pine-sol smelling...

Ugh. Terrible.  I'm not going to watch that. First off, I don't seek out things which upset me. Also, don't want to give that idiot the views.

I would try to fix that cooler if you can.   If you can't fix it, look for a more vintage one like this!     

Chetlaham, I'm pleased that you enjoy my posts and videos.  I do enjoy sharing my experiences from back in the day! Sometimes I get carried away with them but they do seem to be entertaining. :)  

Chetlaham... Just to be sure..... No dislike here. I read your post but was replying to John L. This thread reminded me of my younger days and I wanted to share that. It wasn't a jab at you.    One of the pitfalls of a forum like this is that people get personal out in the open and that...

John; I completely concur with the safety of microwave ovens. They have multiple interlocks, as well as the electronic ones have an additional switch telling the controller that the door is open, so that it opens the relay powering the microwave. That is two sets of contacts open, plus the...

Ralph, I appreciate your vote of confidence!    John, thanks for your input on this.  The icemaker does have some adjustment for the water level based on the position of the switch at the cam. It seemed to be quite limited in how much adjustment was available. That could be due to age and...

Hi Dave - thanks so much for sharing these pictures!  I love the old industrial stuff and it's amazing to see laundry equipment still surviving. Sincerely, David  

Another video! Got it working! In this video I explain the timer and how it can be used to set the ice cube tray fill level, as well as prevent overflow in the event of an icemaker jam.        

Nice to see the pictures, and hear that things are moving forward! Happy that the wall fridge is working well. I bet it will have to do overflow duty for Thanksgiving this week! Sincerely, David  

Thanks for the follow-up on how the new heater helped!

Fascinating piece of engineering!  Love seeing the old literature on the combination units.  I can imagine how heavy it was, too.

I hate to echo what has been said, but those who are most in need of this info are the least likely to read it! LOL  As for me, the only things I will wear more than once between washings are outer clothes, such as uniform shirts which go over a tee-shirt; or sweatshirts worn over a tee shirt...

Thank you Melvin!

John, and others - thanks for the comments!  I appreciate the feedback on the timer.  This timer has an adjustable cycle time, so I can dial it in for 20 minutes!   I did work on the icemaker yesterday and made a video about that which I will share. It seems functional, but I relubricated it...

Got a project going on! It's a 1965 Coldspot. Frostless, with ice maker!   This belongs to a fellow enthusiast who purchased it nonworking and brought it to my place to get checked out. Be sure to check the video link to YouTube. I took few pictures but the video has lots of details. In the...

Jerry, Replacement compressors come from Embraco with oil in them; however I am not entirely sure about OEM parts ordered in bulk. It may be easier for the manufacturer to braze and assemble systems if there is no oil. I have an Embraco engineering sample with a large sight glass on the side...

I don't have that style latch in any of my stuff. If John L (Combo52) or John Jowers from AA don't have one; you could reach out to Justin Zerwekh from Vintage55 Restorations. Sometimes Justin has parts available. https://www.vintage55restorations.com/ Sincerely, David
