It's a programmable thermostat We had one like it for our coal furnace in the 1960's. It has a temp control knob for day and another for night. You can see one on each side of the box near the bottom. The clock could be set up like a timer to activate the night and day settings at certain times...

Google Lens is amazing I have identified many mystery items with Google Lens which searches the Internet for images just like a search engine searches for words. When I take a picture with my phone, 'Lens' is one of the options that pops up. I took a picture of Barry's plate right off the...

I watch him every week on MeTV. He's on Sunday nights at 10 ET.

The Interphone ad reminded me of what we used to do back around the 1970's. If we picked up one house phone and dialed a 3 number code (something like 3-1-1 but I forget what it was) and immediately put the receiver back on the hook, all the phones would ring with a different ring than usual...

If anyone is interested, I see they just lowered the price to $100.

That's the first 2-speed wringer washer I've seen. Are 2-speed wringers very unusual?

Norelco didn't only make razors. Here's a picture of my Norelco tape recorder sitting on a chair.

Ad says-- "Very old Hotpoint fridge. Works great. If this was cleaned up it would look super nice. Great conversation piece and I get a lot of compliments on it. East to load, its on the ground floor and very near the road. Was using it but need the space for a desk."...

Did you look into what's available Over-the-Air in your area? With an antenna I get about 25 channels. Most of what your mom wants to watch could be available OTA. My elderly parents have cable but mom says she would cancel it if it wasn't for dad who likes the History channel, Nat Geo etc...

First wash! This past weekend I did my first load of wash in the White Ghost! And it was my first experience ever using a wringer machine! I don't remember ever actually helping my grandma using her wringer washer. The only real trouble I had was things wrapping around the rollers if I didn't...

Reply# 2 In your video it says to grease the top of the seal when installing, so I have 2 questions = 1) what's the purpose of grease on top of the seal? 2) why not grease the bottom? It seems like the only place you do NOT want grease is on the sides but I wonder why the instruction...

Slow but sure progress To quote Launderess, Mustn't rush these sort of things. Well I cut the nozzle off the old drain hose to reuse if I can, but in the meantime just rigged up something from what I had lying around. It's not pretty but it works and is meant to be temporary. See pictures...

The drain hose is so stiff it won't unbend to allow all the water to drain out. I don't even have to hang the nozzle on the bracket. The hose stands up by itself. So to avoid having to replace the whole hose/nozzle assembly I plan to see if I can remove the nozzle from the hose and find a new...

Those stainless steel bolts and washers -- Are they exactly like the ones Maytag used in later model wringer washers? It looks like each washer has some sort of rubber pad to go against the tub, but is any water seal needed between the bolt heads and washers? Or are the pads there mainly to...

Someone might yet show up here with the proper tool to loan you. I seem to remember a gulmite wrench being passed around from one to another on this forum.[this post was last edited: 8/11/2022-00:21]

Yes it looks like this is a poly agitator. It is somewhat flexible and has the cup feature that Launderess mentioned. The casters are in fair shape, wheels almost like new but metal parts more or less rusty. One of the locking ones was the worst, rusted in the locked position but I was able to...

Launderess, thank you for all the helpful hints. My agitator might be the new design even though it's the old color. Tell me what you think.[this post was last edited: 7/28/2022-19:25]
