I came across a vintage ad on here for a 1977 GE television with 'VIR'. This was advertised as receiving a signal sent out from TV stations for optimizing the color picture. GE pushed it for a few years in their ads; I bought a GE TV in 1978 with 'VIR' and it had a great picture. Stolen a...

I Had Thousands of cassettes. I wanted them for the car. Bought a new 1974 Super Beetle, red with tan vinyl interior and one of those crank sunroofs. Added a Panasonic cassette player next to the driver's kick panel, a really tiny unit that didn't rewind or auto reverse, only play and FF (I...

Looking through some of the delightful vintage ads offered on this site, I've seen a bunch of agitators that look rather like the SQ new one coming out this next year, with the straight vanes going to the bottom and flaring out the same. I just saw a Thor Automagic ad with the same agitator...

I Agree With Laundress- those are great tumblers! I have the large size and the smaller size. Heavy, just terrific. I think I bought mine about 30 years ago when Tuesday Morning was new, they were from France. I think they're all over the place these days. Still a great choice that goes...

Until I came across a great thread here showing Mrs. Cole and Mrs. Henderson back in the late 60's touting Sears Coldspot refrigerators, I'd forgotten all about them using that name. I have no idea where that name came from--or where it went. Could anyone here tell me a little more about...

How Beautiful! Thanks for sharing-

One Thing that I like about my local appliance dealer is that his business will fix broken appliances that they take in trade and sell them, often very inexpensively. I purchased my 432 SQ TL/Dryer pair in October because my lovely KM dryer quit heating after 17 years and my Affinity FL was a...

I Agree with some of our UK members-this is crap. Just another excuse to get people to toss money away on gimmicks. Sad part is, younger people these days are getting further removed from the women who really understood laundry and what worked, and on a budget at that. We see it in our...

I'm Having No Problem with rinsing in this new 432. None. I started this thread out of curiosity re top loaders. I'm not having excessive detergent left in any laundry--and that includes towels. I always use white vinegar in every load in the fabric softener cup and I think that helps. I...

I Can't See the people at Alliance intentionally introducing a machine that would not wash as well as the current machine. I have no problem waiting, either. Simply because it's different doesn't mean it's worse.

Whoa! I didn't state that I was having any rinsing problems at all with this 432, in fact I certainly haven't noticed any. But, I'm not prone to overdosing with detergent, either.

rp2813 Why would that machine be any worse at rinsing than any other top loader? I don't understand.

Back when I had Filter-Flo machines, the 2nd and 3rd sets I had in the 80's and 90's had the extra rinse option. I always used it. Then, for the nearly 20 years that I had FL machines, I chose it at times and at times didn't. Usually went by how dirty the laundry was. Now that I bought this...

Thank you, Endora! I think this crappy disposer was only about $150, which is the cheapest I've ever gotten. I'd rather pay more and get more--and longer-lived. And no, I can't even get under my sink any more due to ruined spine, my plumber will put it in. I just bought a new sink faucet...

tolivac I never, ever toss anything stringy into either the disposer or into my toilet. Only stuff like gravies, etc. It's funny--I remember growing up and my parents tossed watermelon, celery, bones, etc., down our GE Disposall. But I never did. I can remember when a friend of mine had to...

My garbage disposer has died--locked up. It was a Badger installed about 3yrs go by my plumber who said it was the most popular model their company used. I never did like it--it's one of those that has the slinging weights on a bottom plate. I can still get it to go on occasion after pressing...

It's a great video nearly an hour long by Alliance for SQ repair people. I don't know how to work on washers but I found it fascinating.

I just bought a couple of the Easy Spindrier brochures on the ephemera section here. I really didn't know know until this latest joining on here that anyone had made large twin-tub machines. I never saw one of these machines growing up in the late 50's or 60's. They appear to have so many...

I Loved That Movie! 'My Beautiful Launderette' was an amazing movie. Of course, back when that came out, God forbid that regular theaters down here in the South release it. I went back then with a gay friend and I think I was the only straight guy in the Greenway Plaza theatre here in...

I Did Get a Brother P-Touch label maker for $9.99 on line at Office Depot. My Dymo had died a few months ago and actually looked at this same Brother for $39.99 only about a month ago and had put off purchasing 'cause I was buying a new computer. So, I didn't have to deal with stupid crowds or...
