A little off-track...sorry <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Those Asian-inspired cabinets (at one time known as  "Oriental") are really beautiful. Although those Stromberg Carlson sets were made when I was a kid, I do remember when most customers purchased a big-screen TV by the...

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Although I'm not a fan of TV/Stereo combinations, I saw this listed locally and thought it was "nice". The electronics and turntable indicate this was one of the last of the Magnavox combos. When I was a department store TV/Stereo buyer there were...

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">The Reagan home I remember seeing was in Pacific Palisades. This was his house when he was a spokesperson for General Electric. I remember reading that it had something like 250 circuit breakers. I'm sure the gas meter reader just walked on by.</span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Just listed in Palm Desert. Looks "OK" but I see chips. I think the $700 asking price is excessive but that's my pocket book talking. Is that left oven knob a replacement, possibly for a new thermostat?</span>...

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">I certainly didn't look at the ad close enough. The map should have been a dead give-away. I thought the snow in the photos was suds from washing the car. I also never expected to find someone who owens 2 of them. The seller has thoughtfully...

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">This just popped up on the Palm Springs Craigslist. I never realized how long these were. $3,800 is a lot of money for a 220 volt novelty item.</span> https://palmsprings.craigslist.org/atq/d/jefferson-1957-cook-station/7048095581.html

Ralph, <span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Interesting update. My older brother and I were talking yesterday about our Western Appliance days when we were kids. He started working there in the 5th grade. It was illegal (for him to be on the payroll) so the owner Franz Niederaur "paid" him...

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Of the many Unimatics I rebuilt, I never took one apart like that. Of course, way back then, they weren't all that old. I didn't realize there were so many individual parts. It does bring back a lot of memories. The 1958 models were the nicest of...

Washlover... <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">My late partner and I had a vacation duplex in Clear Lake Oaks. I like it up there among the pear orchards ndd rolling hills even though our home was in San Francisco at the time. My brothers continue to live in San Jose although one...

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">I definitely remember the Courtesy Chevrolet sign from when Stevens Creek Blvd was San Jose's auto row. I remember Town & Country Village shopping center too. A wonderful place to eat breakfast, Scotty's Coffee Shop and a great place for an elegant...

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">These aren't really appliances but still fun. Hope everyone had a great day.</span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">I don't have the vintage LP but I do have the "vintage" CD. Weren't the covers for many of the Ray Conniff albums wonderful? Such great stereo too. The best of Holidays to all.</span>   <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Another...

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">...10 years I worked there, from age 13 to 23 when I graduated San Jose State. I worked for the previous owner's father Franz Niederaur. They were friends of my parents. I remember when that sign was put up. We were there when they...

Oh am I gonna get mean-mouthed for this... <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">As I've bored everyone with my teenage memoirs many times, the very large store I worked in as a "kid" was primarily a Frigidaire dealer...and it's still there but closing soon (edited). As far as working...

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Saw these on eBay today. Maybe they've been listed before. At least the fridge looks clean. Currently being "re-certified"...what ever that means. Maybe it has something to do with the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval (do they still have that?)...

I usually delete these "sympathy" posts... <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">...but I think I'll just leave this one. It is not a plea for sympathy. There is nothing wrong about being alone on holidays, especially Christmas. Many of us have wonderful memories of past Christmas...

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">That Allero certainly seems to have a well thought out dash. Everything located within easy reach of the driver. Dashboards sure have changed over the years. The one in my 65' Buick stretches on for days. And because the optional inside-controlled...

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">That mixer will always be much more special than one you simply purchased. Being remembered by friends and family, even for a short while, is important. I think of all the "stuff" I should start giving away beginning with the start of the new year...

Unlike Martha Stewart, I hate ironing... <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">When I was a teenager my parents had a friend who collected unusual antiques. I remember this sort of large potbelly stove that had about ten heavy irons that fit around the diameter with the sole plates...
