    A neat thrift store find: the 'roast' of the town...

    In really nice shape. I'm not sure it was used much. Not sure how old it is. Any ideas?

    A neat thrift store find: the 'roast' of the town...

    Opened it up and discovered a rarity. The warming pans! I've not seen one with them. These most likely are lost and not turned in with the roaster.

    A neat thrift store find: the 'roast' of the town...

    One little diversion I have here in the new digs is to check out all the new thrift stores. At the same store I found my Hoover Celebrity Elite at was this little gem.

    Maytag Jetclean dishwasher performance and reliability?

    John, John, John... My MDB9750AWB, with only one issue with the control board, has been a solid performer. Quiet, washes the flower pattern right off the dish, loads easily and dries like no other dishwasher I've used or seen in the field. And it does it in almost blessed silence. At least the...

    How Drew got his groove back...

    Thank you again, Fred! It's funny. My parents asked why I went for such a older 'clunky' machine. I said that it was because it was 'me'. Insert parental eye roll here. Just wait until I bring a few of my collection here. Lol! At least one thing they did to help make me feel at home was to...

    How Drew got his groove back...

    Thank you It was fun. I will go and check what you suggested, Fred. I forgot about the baffle. In a previous life, I worked at a place in Eureka, CA that did vacuum repair. That's where I learned overhaul of these guys. Your day spa treatment was superb! This one had just been dropped off in...

    How Drew got his groove back...

    And there she is! All better! There are two things I still need to do. All the tools are missing. I will hunt those down and one of the two wands has a broken clip that is supposed to hold the power head cord in place. I'll most likely try to find another wand. And, yes, the light even works...

    How Drew got his groove back...

    Time to focus on the power head. I'll spare you the pictures of the horrors I found after I tore the thing completely apart. The brush motor was totally impacted and wanted to overheat. The locking mech that kept the wand upright was messed up. The outside of it was covered in dirt, paint spray...

    How Drew got his groove back...

    Put it all back together. Night and day difference from the homeless orphan that came home with me and now! Installed a OEM bag. Fired her up. Thank goodness, the motor is in good order with smooth bearings and has enough suction to suck-start a cold diesel engine thru the tailpipe! LOL! Any...

    Side question... Would a redneck's vacuum look like this, up on blocks with the wheels off? LOL!

    How Drew got his groove back...

    After that, I turned my attention to the exterior. Pulled the outer housing, cord reel, rubber gasket/bumper around the perimeter and anything else held on by screws. Cleaned paint overspray, scrunge, marks from dragging it into tables, walls, even footprints. Repaired the cord where the plug...

    She didn't look like this at first as she was a Goodwill thrift store find. Time to dig in. I started with the insides. Pulled the motor housings, cleaned and worked my magic.

    How Drew got his groove back...

    As some of you already know, I had to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area to caretake my Father with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and my mother who has a few issues of her own. So, after quitting my job at Sargent's after 19 years and trading a decent home for a downstairs living arrangement in...
