Gordon, Check out at your leisure the video of the washer going through the Prewash cycle. I'm hoping those sounds are due to the worn belt rather than bearings.... Rob

Hi Gordon! Thanks for your reply! Perhaps later on today, I can get around to recording a video of the machine going through the Prewash cycle. That way you can observe fill, agitation, drain, and spin functions. In so doing, I hope that it will capture the sounds that don't seem normal...

Hello?

Now that it's fall and progressively getting cooler, I'd like to tear into the 1977 Kenmore 70 Series washer. I know it needs a new belt, so I bought that right away. I've also replaced the tub clips and put new clamps on the inlet hose. However, I would like to know what else should be done...

Wish this was available when I was looking for a new stove. My 2006 Kenmore coil burner stove has already needed to have its oven element replaced. All the elements on this 30-plus-year-old Hotpoint look original! Very clean, too! Rob

RCA Whirlpool fridge What a gorgeous fridge! My aunt and uncle have a coppertone top freezer model from the same era at the cabin. It works like a charm and is so quiet a person has to walk right up to it to hear the compressor. And interestingly enough, they also have at the cabin a...

I'm guessing anywhere from $10.00 to $20.00 using either UPS or the post office. This thing is fairly heavy because of the glass jar and metal components. Let me know what you'd like to do. Rob

Here you go, Pat. Let me know if you'd like additonal pictures. Thanks! Rob

Hey everyone! I am downsizing and have two Osterizer blenders for sale if anyone needs a blender that will outlast most of today's garbage. Please see the descriptions below and contact me if interested. I can post pictures upon request. Sunbeam doesn't make 'em like this anymore! New 1973...

I have the exact same rant as well! I ABSOLUTELY DETEST THAT COUNTRY! And here in the United States we're gullible enough to buy into all the lies that come forth from the evil Chinese government. It'll destroy us yet if we don't pay attention.

Hey! Very nice! My parents had a 1968 BOL avocado Tappan gas stove in the kitchen of their last house. It still worked when the kitchen was updated in the late 1980s. Tappan was known for its gas stoves--the oven temperatures were consistent and usually right on. I believe most...

Unfortunately, since I don't have room or a gas hookup, I would like to offer the avocado 1978 Kenmore gas dryer to anyone on here who could use it, take care of it, and appreciate it for its quality and durability. I've disassembled and cleaned it, replaced the belt, and carefully touched up...

Gordon & William, I absolutely love the points you made about consumerism, "free" trade, and the crumbling state of the United States (or U.K. and European) economy! While it is true that special interests and global trade pacts did a lot to weaken our position in the world, ultimately, we as...

I stand corrected. After reading the above replies, I dug out my Fall/Winter 1978 Sears catalog. All the major Kenmore appliances could be purchased in almond, except chest and upright freezers. They were available in white only. I'd imagine the same trend applied to Montgomery Ward...

"Almond" made its debut around 1980 give or take. My grandparents remodeled their kitchen some time in late 1979 or early 1980. They bought a Montgomery Ward Signature fridge and electric stove in almond after everything was finished. The fridge has since died, but the stove is still going...

Sam, Nice "Butterfly Gold" Pyrex bowls! My parents received that pattern of Corning dinnerware when they got married in 1977. Mom's color of choice was harvest gold so it matched well with her pots, pans, and countertop appliances. What memories! Thanks for sharing :-). Rob

Congratulations on such a nice find! That baby should last a long, long time. My 1/2 HP rebadged Whirlpool from ISE works well now, but I wonder how much longer it will last. Not sure what I'd replace it with, either.... Rob
