Bendix Greg: 3 Dials on the top that light up with C-7 bulbs and its electric.

Hi guys: Today I stopped at an estate sale and found a machine. It is a Bendix Duo-matic Combination unit Model number CGR-L. The folks running the sale explained that they were not looking forward to moving it up the stairs to get it to the trash. Since I'm one of those people that can't stand...

Glasbake Mugs We grew up with the same set of mugs. We used them for soup and they were great to color easter eggs in. (Blue eggs in the blue cup etc...... Ok....I was anal as a kid!!) You may know this but don't put them in the dishwasher, they are painted and the detergent will ruin them in 1...

Hotpoint Greg: That is a beauty. Where did you find it? Hope all is well. Bill

Hotpoint Plant I went to college in WI. I stayed in WI for 1 year after graduating college before moving back to IL. The last year in WI I had rented the upper flat in a home that was about 1 block from the still standing but closed Hotpoint dishwasher plant. I remember climbing the fence to...

SOS pads I have found that SOS pads really put a shine on dull aluminum with minimum effort. I don't know if the effect is from the steel wool alone or is there something in the detergent that is inside them.

A208 I restored/rebuilt my A208 a few years ago. Inside the control panel I found a date stamp of 1977. If there is a set screw on the agitator it would be a small stainless steel hex headed affair. If I remember correctly it is 1/4". The agitator should just pull off of its shaft. To remove...

Older Amana Electronic Control Machine In addition to the photos I posted before. I have my first newly purchased washer which is an Amana much like the ones I posted pics of. These machines have a slightly smaller (shorter) tub and a smaller opening and lid. They have the cirle fill tub. The...

Dual Turntables Have a few Dual 1229's and a 1229Q. Anyone know of a source for a decent base for these guys? The base that the US dist, United Audio supplied was such crap. I have been thinking of making a few up from some solid Walnut but was wondering if there is a souce for decent...

More on fans Greg: I remember seeing the 40's hassock fan in your living room. Does it have the ball shaped motor? I have one that looks just like it but it is maroon. If you need a source for repair on the old Westinghouse, let me know. I have about 20 Vornados. 10 are fully restored, I have...

Outer tub The outer tub is porcelain coated steel.

Rusty Warren Yes, you are correct. I have about 8 or 9 of her albums. I had been listening to them in my garage and pulled one out to test the unit when I got it. The Jackie Gleason is a 10" was wondering if the changer would index all sizes.

Close up Here you Go. Hope this is what you are looking for.

Vornado Fan I love fans. Have been interested in fans since I was a little kid. I remember putting my moms lipstick through the grill and making a big mess. I got slapped a few times for that! Here is a picture of a restored pedestal Vornado Fan that sits in my Family Room. Hope you all like it.

Zenith Belt Drive Changer Here is a photo of the entire unit. Not the best photo. I can't wait to get this fully restored. Anyone else like these old consoles?
