TIM I KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT BUT.... I tried what you said years ago and only worked for a short time. Now more than ever I have to walk on egg shells cause lots of my things are at her house and two years ago put all the ptoprties in her name for tax and transfer reasons for when she dies, if she...

Somewhere but? Maybe I saw it in an old garage but looks and sounds familiar from long ago...

THANKS FOR THE CONTACT I missed this one in searching... http://www.lloydsappliances.com/about.html found Lloyd's link with short history, in bis since 1949 , must know something and have lots of parts perhaps :)

Cole its not very humid here in So. Cal. I'm about 10 miles from the ocean? I'm thinking maybe the original owners might have had the pilot up too high? I was thinking to make a heat shield to fit. You might be right though cause the edge of the top is likely a spot that has slight chips for the...

Shes 92 and still dictating, Throw it OUT!! ? Venting I guess...My mom said today if I dont get rid of all that junk I'm calling a junk man to haul it away:( It scares me cause I live a mile away and things could be gone in an hour. Its a mentality I guess thats meant to be super neat, her...

Good idea Kevin, thats why you're here :) That will work but I would try somthing else besides drilling holes though??? For now I'll use the lighter till I know if i'm keeping it.

John I think you're correct. I actually keep a lighter on the oven door cause many times wont light. The heat from the pilot doesn't seem alot so maybe its the natural gas eating the metal? I see its done the same on right side. Travis the reason i'm fixing the Kenmore is if I get another...

Hans I agree totally. My moms house was built in 1951 and both baths are tile up to 4 feet with old toilets, the kind with angle at corners by American Standard and she wants them gone and new ones but I keep talking her down on that, its a real battle sometimes.

Its been along time since I had my moms apart, but think I removed the rear speed control dome end piece at least far enough to gain access. There was tons of caked on flower and baking powder everywhere, so using a small paint brush and ice cream stick could get most of it out then blow it if...

NO MATTER YOUR AGE DO YOUR PARENTS LIKE YOUR CHOICE IN PURCHASING VINTAGE APPLIANCES OR THINK YOUR CRAZY TO PURCHASE THESE OLD APPLIANCES THAT THEY WOULDN'T PERHAPS PAY $25 FOR EVEN THOUGH THE ITEM MIGHT BE WORTH $400 TO $4000. I ASKED MY MOTHER WHAT BRAND WAS THE STOVE SHE HAD IN THE 50'S AND...

PS.... Timers not working, To remove the timer must I have access from the back or will it pull out from front? Too much stuff to move to pull it out:(

This 50's/60's Kenmore has Rust above the pilot, wasn't bad 20 years ago but whats going on? Spot feels deep and almost through. I could use some of that Extend rust preventor but doubt it can hold up to the heat. I cant pull the top off any time soon or i'd braze it I think.. Any ideas short of...

.....""If its a natural gas model, you light the pilot,wait 30 seconds, thenpress and release the red button."" MAKES LITTLE SENSE? DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH THE MAGNET? IF YOU'RE CORRECT IT MIGHT BE OK....

If ya want to do it the hard way;) http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?57648_5

2ND THOUGHT David, maybe I can't see in pic that chrome plate I saw, could be between the griddle and backing for burner knobs???

Ralph i understand the shelf now, good design i guess. Which stste is your sister, Eagle Rock Cali? that area is only 7mi so if theres a parts contact in this area would be nice. Should be there so many people here but most through out the old and in with the new :( I searched for the safety...

Simmons beautyrest is what I bought in the 70's and loved it till the roof leaked distroying it:( . Bought a new one around 2000 and was too firm then found they didn't actually make a box spring any longer, it had torson bars they called it, with my knee or elbow I bent one down, then later a...

LOOKS SHARP!!! :) Dave is yours the 38" you mention? The one I'm looking at looks the same from memory? Think the panel behind all the burner knobs is chrome though, same light hood between clock and ? guess timer? Can you post a pic of the temp gauge for the grill? I only saw a empty hole... I...
