Spinmon- You're the guy I've been wanting to ask on here: what's the extra knob on your 542 for? I just bought the 432 in October and both the 542 and the 412 had been d/c'd. Does that extra knob on yours, the fabric one, set the agitate and spin speed? On my 432, the agitate & spin speed...

That's Neat Looking! I've never seen one like that. My ancestors just used those gas space heaters that caught so many people on fire. Thanks for saving it-

I Couldn't Agree More- It's amazing what people just dump because they're tired of it. A consequence of too much disposable income these days. That's a cool looking speaker! And of course, the w/d shakers are a modern icon...

In Houston, Foley's department stores all sold a full range of appliances in several brands. I purchased two GE pairs and a GE d/w over the years there. Excellent.

Actually, Ken, you're just too young to remember when car makers did exactly that. The funny thing to look at is an original Model T owner's manual from 1910-1926. It was almost scolding the new owners about how they needed to treat their cars properly, and not blame the company if the car...

I Had the same same Kenmore front loader for 11 years until the bearing gave out. I really loved that machine, got rid of it when the 'bearing' (I was told) went out and apparently it was going to cost more than that excellent machine was worth. I'd sure have been happy to use bleach, which...

Frigilux Thanks for your posting. It shines.

awr Thanks for your great photos and explanation--I've learned something here.

Ask Robert He'll confirm what I questioned.

Infusor- I commented on the salesman's poor speaking on Rivas' channel, being surprised that someone in a position like that wasn't better trained. I removed the comment myself, haven't been "blocked" from anywhere. As for being "rude to everybody" I'd suggest reading my thread of comments...

Mirror Matic was, as far as I know, first introduced in 1959 by Chrysler as an option. It had a simple photo diode and as can be imagined, simple electronics. However, it worked. With as many safety devices as we have on cars now, I'm also surprised that this feature hasn't become...

My Most Durable Watch I do have around 75 watches, though almost all of them are vintage wrist or pocket watches. As with so many things in this rapidly-changing world, it saddens me to see sales of wristwatches continue to decline. Over 20 years ago I purchased a Citizen Navihawk watch...

GusHerb Just like women showing bra straps, or men showing undershirts, there are things that label us. Poor grammar is one of those. Nitpicking? Possibly--particularly if you have little respect for communication skills, which apparently you do.

I'll Never Understand why English speakers can't distinguish between "its" and "it's". Do they just not understand contractions? I was taught a half-century ago in school that if I wasn't sure about this one, simply to un-contract "it's" back to "it is". If it sounds wrong, it is wrong...

Hmmmm... Why do you hide where you live? It couldn't be that awful. As for boiling, my suggestion is that when you need a surgical procedure in the future, that you tell the surgeon and the surgical crew that they don't need to use any of that silly autoclave heat or chemical...

I Won't Argue With the Stats... I sure thought sizes were more poundage. Of course, as they say, everything is bigger in Texas! Best wishes-

I Never Saw one of these nasty suds things in a home growing up or as an adult. The idea of running filthy water back into a washing machine is beyond bizarre to me. That's really a reason just to go front load and not have to wash clothes in used, dirty water. That's a load of crap where...

Again, I don't know about Germany but washing has definitely changed over here since Kennedy was president. As has been pointed out countless times on here, generations behind me (I'm a Baby Boomer) usually dump just about everything in together. And there's a reason for that: our clothing...
