Re: Tuner The tuner is still used for receiving over the air ATSC broadcasts, and where open QAM is available through the local cable company. The issue are all of these "smart" sets that also try to be an internet streaming service box, too. Nevertheless, I'll keep my '64 RCA CTC-16 color set.

Regarding the sensitivity of the Nutone radio/intercom, it could be an issue with the B+ voltage being low due to an ageing selenium rectifier which can be replaced with a simple 1N4007 silicon diode and a dropping resistor. In an almost always on system like an intercom, a selenium wouldn't...

Jay pointed out the fact that they are now using R600A in cars as well, a serious point regarding safety. There are no solutions to offer, this video was more meant to just cover the story to Jay's subscribers, many of whom are appliance aficionados and aren't here on AW to have caught it.  I...

I sent the link of the article to YouTuber JayKay18, a friend of mine. He made a video regarding it.  

I'd love to see someone diagnose what's wrong with the board, I bet someone could figure it out pretty quick with little more than the diode check function on a new meter. Perhaps a shorted transistor(one of the mosfets that controls it).

Current options... The Maytag MVWP575GW is still available, but we have also seen quite a few members getting Speed Queen commercial models that still use the old mechanism, the LWN432 that still has the mechanical timer and transmission. It lacks a water level switch, but so does the Maytag.

CaptainMoody is a good friend of mine, he's not looking for one anymore, the Maytag has since been sold.

A few ounces is a lot when you consider its normal state is a gas, gasoline fumes, for example, need only a small amount to cause a massive explosion.

Unbelievable, perhaps Freon might make a comeback if a few more cases of this happen. Throw away all reasonable safety for the ozone which wasn't supposed to be affected by R134a, anyway.

One only has to look to CL to verify your numbers, John. I cannot find anything but DDs anymore all other traditional transmission type TLs have long since worn out but the Whirlpools.

From what I heard, their best color offering for reliability was the PortaColor and that their other early color offerings had CRTs that died early, and cheap printed circuit boards that crumbled after only a few years. GE found ways to embed fundamental design flaws into everything they built...

@blackstone Put it on your google drive and share a link to it.

Union Pacific's GE built gas turbine electric locomotives from the '50s and '60s such as the one I included a picture of burnt heavy fuel oil(Bunker C) that had to be heated before it could go through the system. These were and remain the worlds most powerful locomotives ever built at 8500hp and...

But, but, but.... they used a Hoover 28 to represent a GE!!!   Funny none the less.

I recommend Gary at VM audio enthusiasts for styli and cartridges. He also rebuilds idler tires if nessasary.

They aren't retiring the F&G bag any time soon, only the top end model has the modern type ST bag system.

Model A209?

Caloric Automatic Washer Certainly interesting, does anyone know about them or has ever seen one(or, however remote this possibility is, has one)?

I work in a vacuum shop rebuilding Sanitaire cleaners, certainly odd for you to have a cracked base with mild use. The ones with cracked bases we usually see are also totally trashed, you ought to see what crap we can turn back into a nice looking, good performing, rebuilt cleaner.   If you...

Keep your eyes open on CL, don't discount a KDS-20 if you find one as well, they are just like the 18 just w/o constant rinse, which would likely already be broken off on an 18 by now anyway.
