Thanks John, What do you mean by, certainly longer than anyone would use these dryers today?

Brian, I have a brand new bakelite impeller and a new bearing kit.I want to get folks thinking about a way to retrofit this problem as I really feel the parts are basically used up.Without a solution,The HOH dryers will vanish.

Some of you collectors may have the blower bearing kit 301568 , And if so put them in a safe.To everyone else with squealing dryer blowers,SORRY.I have searched the United States and I have found 1. We need to come up with a generic kit.Enlighten me if you know-thanks

George Westinghouse died in the early 1900s .A major investor/purchaser and wheeler dealer of electrical inventions.Why would he be of importance in your project?

Good work

Proud for you.You were right about the chrome so why did you sand it after the paint was stripped? Looks awesome,Rare

Launderess is correct .The standards of quality,amperage,metallurgy,coatings,thickness,weight and warranty is placed by the company ordering it.I believe everyone has a point on this Speed Queen issue,but Bruce is winning it. If you charge me that kind of money you'd better have a cracker jack...

Our 1904 Home was rough & lacking most conveniences.The kitchen had a plain counter about 8ft long with a sink,plain stove and a Norge fridge.Also a formica table & metal legged padded chairs.We were poor in 1969 ,when I was 9,Except for my mom's mother who owned a successful carpet company...

Try this and break them in half,Then use your bolt with a nut on each side of whichever piece lines up the best.

Panthera, No disrespect but are we talking about a fixture or a multi use receptacle?

Remember ,You can use a standard kit if you have a battery drill and a step drill bit.The step bit will allow you to SLOWLY enlarge the center hole of the fixture base.Google step drill bit ,Everybody needs one.

There are 2 kits ,1 has the bracket to box,then 3 sizes of barrel bolts and nuts (like your shade mounts to)- The other you can adapt any threaded shaft with decorative nut to.Sure wish you could kill the breaker,temporarily remove fixture, take a picture of the wall mounting box and post...

That base, fixture is still available but it's part of a kit and cheaply made. Your shade is the rare bird.I'd use some spray stripper ,followed by some 100 grit sanding ,then some 400 grit .I would finish with a pastel spray color. Bright white CFL 60 watt bulbs to finish. IMHO

Cool shade, Don't think that base is chrome though.

Gfci must have a true neutral and ground.- A remodel in 1960??? Ground?? It's high on the wall so it won't drop in the bath tub.

Lowe's has exactly what you need in the ceiling fan parts section, 3 to 5 bucks.I can get you the exact part number tomorrow.

Exactly.Made to american standards? Made to barely reach warranty period I find.Read the sides of those square power relays and the round capacitors.Usually china,vietnam etc.Trash

Fixed

Sorry brother,Sounds like an internal corporate issue with hands covering their ears.

Where are those boards made & assembled for SQ ?I am seeing more & more simple components failing on circuit boards in my industry (HVAC).Capacitors and relays incorporated into the boards melting,swelling and causing failures.
