Timed fill on SQ From what I learned, all of them were like that, until 1980 when the perforated-tub machines were introduced. There was a fairly late solid-tub machine on Craigslist in Dallas (that someone else grabbed before me!) that still had no water-level control, and the timed fill was...

Peter, if I were you, I would have picked up a tube of high-temp RTV silicone and got the door boot issue over with already...no more f&^%ing around waiting for the repairman. It wouldn't be leaking on my watch! ;-)

WOOHOO! Congratulations Jon, your first vintage set, I'm jealous! Of course I may have told you in Tucson that Westinghouse TLs are my favorite, hence the name :) Sounds like some good vacuums come with the house as well. Those Singer canisters aren't exactly easy to find nowadays...

Festus MO Yes, the one and the same! :) I believe his shop is called the Vac Shac.

Congratulations, what a beautiful vintage Oster, and that metal jar is fab! Definitely enhances the Deco look if you ask me. And $2 was an absolute steal! I paid more for a much later (70's) Osterizer Imperial in Omaha...

Steve, great video, with VERY nice, um, *shots*. YAY. Happy Easter everyone!

Jason, I found that to be the same when I had it as well...the water level just above the ramps resulted in excellent dip-roll action. I tried the Super Roto-Swirl in my 24" and the action was better with the maximum water level due to the standard-capacity tub. But if not overloaded (and not...

Wow Robert, that is too neat, and a great picture. Is it just me or does it look like your old '69 Kenmore could have used a lid check adjustment as well? ;-) Our childhood machines definitely have a special place. You should go for it! Just think, you could relive the memories all over again...

Very interesting, I wish I had caught it again but I do have it on tape somewhere. Too bad "Hey, Remember" isn't airing anymore...at least it seems not. I would have loved to have taped the washing machine and vacuum cleaner segments, where 2 familiar people were featured! I looked on HGTV to...

Just wondering... Is there any particular reason why you guys are still responding to this loser after his bullshit thread in Imperial? He obviously has no interest in participating on this forum, and is simply posting to get his kicks out of everyone's comments. At the very LEAST he should be...

Wow, those are beautiful and DEFINITELY worth saving (especially over that overpriced 'Tag). Too bad they're not a step above, the 800 series...we all know someone who would pass out on the spot! Who knows, maybe he's done that already since it's still a NEW late-60's Kenmore, tee hee ;-)

Well, I did want a Slim as well but ultimately had to make the decision in the end </img> I have heard a lot of good comments about the Slim though; the women that have purchased one love them. As I've said many times before, it's going to put Oreck in its (rightful) place. The slim is $100...

Road-Weary Easta Bunny I read the comment about how he likes to drive. Does he hail from Georgia by any chance? ;-)

Hi Greg, No real dirt is supposed to enter in the upper part of the chamber that I photographed, with the exception of a very small amount of fine dust that the pre-motor filter traps. I did look underneath the shroud and noticed that some fine dust was built up in there under each cyclone, so...

Robert I saw your post and immediately went to another thread to confirm my suspicions. So "Wishywashy" is also known as "Liamwa".

Greg, I was thinking the same thing! Unsupervised computer time at the group home again? LOL

As for the "Main" location...more like Calgary AB judging by your IP address. Ha!

Stupidass Good luck viewing the site anytime soon :)

Excellent find Greg, cool control panel & shade of avocado. And it definitely looks like a solenoid-style as well, another plus! Congrats!
