Those St.George's ranges have a very similar look to the GM-Frigidaire ranges in the USA, especially the control panel, and the big wide heating element coils

What size is the cabinet opening? 38" sounds like the appliance size for a 40 inch stove. I have seen several ranges designed for 40 inch cabinet openings... Most however are pretty fancy, with dual ovens, griddles and stuff like that...usually in the $1000 and up range

Not going to be any different for me! An American flag flies on the outside of my house EVERY day and every night! At night time, I've got 3 little MR16 LED spotlight pointed at it!

I'm only 33 years old, but being that I'm in the high-technology field of audiovisual equipment and electronics, I've found I have accumulated a rather large list of skills related to my job that just aren't needed anymore, or are rarely needed today. Here's a few of mine: Carbon-arc...

The most interesting thing about this ad that I find is that those are boxer-briefs. I thought boxer-briefs and compression shorts were a modern creation that came about in the late 80's

That place reminds me of the old BEST products store we used to have here in Richmond. They had all sorts of electronics, cameras, appliances and even sporting goods. Neat discount place! That shop in the pictures looks like a lot of fun...plenty of neat stuff on sale! Did anybody see the...

WOW!!! what a great price! $2.00, I cannot believe that! Dad bought his Fisher 400 back in 1964 for $300 with the wooden case, the XP5 speaker systems, and a Garrard turntable. That was a pretty stiff price back then, but was still pretty high when you consider inflation, and the fact that they...

I came home from work today hot and sweaty and decided to freshen up. Went into the bathroom, turned on the hot water and took a warm shower. After that, I did a load of warm laundry, then walked into the kitchen to cook some dinner. UUH....the water heater isn't even on!!!! Yep, that's right...

A classic Sears Silvertone. The seller states that the picture tube is bad. Based on my experience, it's probably unlikely the picture tube is bad, but is probably a relative easy to fix defect on the high-voltage power supply. This system is not a seventies vintage but appears to date back into...

I am not familiar with that particular model, but I am familiar with 'standard' thermostat wiring. When in AC mode, the thermostat signals both the indoor and outdoor units to come on, and also sends a signal to activate the reversing valve. When in heat mode, the same thing happens, but the...

My gripe with movie theaters has to do with digital projection! Yes, the projectors have no moving parts, but they are ludicrously expensive compared to the old mechanical film projectors. Yes, they do break down. My company services some movie theaters, and the digital projectors have a lot to...

IIRC I have heard that the rail tunnels under grand central are 5 layers deep...not counting utilities! That's a lotta stuff down there. I imagine this pipe explosion really wrecked things down below! What a mess! I've been in that area before and it's quite a busy place! With all the talk on...

volatile lesbians...hmmm..interesting Being a straight guy, I've aways gotten along with lesbians very well for some reason. There's a girl that works at the service counter of the local Ford dealer. When I take my company trucks up there for routine service, I'm always chatting it up with her...

How exactly does a "frost free" gas refrigerator work exactly? The one in my 1971 camper is marked Frost Free made in Sweden. On the back side, it's basically got Servel markings all over it. The electric mode on this refrigerator is basically just a heating element wrapped around the gas...

Make sure you didn't reverse the wiring on the motor. The "start" winding is only designed to have power momentarily. It is connected to the starting capacitor and only receives power for a short duration when power is applied. The "run" winding is designed to operate continuously. If the motor...

I enjoy flying, primarily because of all the idiots out on the road around here. Driving around Virginia has become extremely stressful. It's bumper to bumper, door to door at all hours of the day and night. Virginia also has more than it's share of semi-truck traffic as well. It certainly makes...

Dual fuel systems have become quite popular around here in the older neighborhoods. Many homes are equipped with baseboard radiators or some other type of fossil-fuel system. When the homeowner decides to install air conditioning, they get a heat pump with a outdoor thermostat instead of using...

Freeze 12 must be like Duracool. Another "drop in" R12 replacement. I have had good luck with that stuff in old R12 appliances.

R134 can be retrofitted to most automobiles, and I imagine most refrigerators will follow the same upgrade path. The problem with R134 is that it will not circulate the mineral oil that is used to lubricate the system when it used R12. Because of this, two new synthetic oils were developed...PAG...

I would try and restore that Jensen speaker, those have a really nice sound and are highly sought after. That radio looks restorable. How far are you from Richmond? That's where I am. I'd love to see that old radio sometime
