New in box! That is amazing! I think I heard somewhere that this model was the buttercup. Thanks for confirming that norgeway. What a cute name! I would fall over if I had seen that box with a lawn boy in it. So cool. I've always wondered if I need to rebuild mine or not.

Last night I cleaned up a 1935 GE "flat top". For those of you unfamiliar with the flat top line, it is essentially a CK model monitor top with the compressor put underneath instead of on top. That means that it has all of the reliability of the CK and the looks and ease of movement of a...

Hey! Another interest of mine ...is old engines, cars, and of course mowers. Working on old mowers is what I cut my mechanical tinkering teeth on. I have a 1967 Lawn Boy which up until recently I used every week. I feed it ethanol free gas, a healthy 16:1 (what it calls for) ratio of gas to...

It is that time of year when you start reaching into your freezer for a snack. What good is an antique refrigerator if you can't make your own ice cream? The instruction manual for my 1931 GE DR monitor top seems to agree. Here are some recipes for you all to try (they are delicious and I...

Wow, this thread is still going! Vacerator, I totally understand the stress eating. I'm sorry that you had to take care of your sick parents. My excuse is a lousy job. At least most days I have the afternoon free to get on sites like this and mess around! Goatfarmer, Do you honestly think...

Good information Speedqueen, That Bendix is such an interesting looking machine. You can really tell that there were no preconceived notions about how an automatic washer should look. I like it! I honestly don't know if that would be the right machine for me though. I'm starting to get...

Love this Thread! Seeing all of these old beauties brings a tear to my eye. I have many favorite models, mostly from the 20s-40s but my ultimate "dream fridge" is the unobtainable. The very first monitor top that almost nobody has heard of, the OC-2. Apparently they actually sold these...

Wow! More responses! Norgeway, Thanks for the brand ideas. If I were to get a wringer washer a Norge would be at the top of my list. Simply because I love the style of Norge appliances and I love the name. My 1957 Norge Customatic fridge is our main fridge at the house. It works...

I guess I should add... That I would be fine with suggestions from later dates. This stuff wouldn't have to be from the 30s. If I could find something that old that works well it would be great but I understand the limitations of appliances that old. I guess I should have been more specific...

...but I'll try to keep it as concise as possible. I just joined your lovely forum yesterday. For those of you who did not see my post in the Super section yesterday, my name is Raymond. I'm glad to be a part of this vibrant community. I love antique appliances with all my heart. I always...

That's funny Thank you Vacerator, your comment made me smile. I do drink but you are right about saving money on this addiction vs. an actual unhealthy addiction. I need to quit drinking so much beer so that my gut will whither away! I would like to go to "AA" meeting as well. Something...

Wow! Thank you all for the warm welcome! Thanks is warranted for all of you who have given me a warm welcome. I do appreciate it. I can't believe that I forgot one of my fans! It is the best of all. It is a 30s Emerson Electric that is hands down the best fan I have ever used. It is a...

Hi there, My name is Raymond and I have an unhealthy addiction to antique appliances. Obviously I have come to the wrong place if I want to lessen my addiction. I just love these old appliances too much to let them go though. They work so well that I have ended up loving to use them more...
