Brilliant! You are so very meticulous. I love that everything is done with great care. Beautiful in every way!

This is an wonderful example of why I find vintage washing machines so fascinating!  Thank you!

For the last couple of weeks, this stove has been sitting outside a garage in my neighborhood.  I've looked on Facebook Marketplace and Craig's List to see if anyone is listing it for sale and haven't seen a listing.  I'm tempted to knock on the door and ask about it!Does anyone know about the...

I loved Norman Lear comedies, but I doubt most of his shows would pass muster with network censors today!

Beautiful restoration!  Well done!

I don't know about that aftermarket brand, but you definitely want to go with the 6 pad clutch!  

If you do need a neutral drain kit, it's an easy and straightforward repair.  If I can do it, anybody can do it!  Plenty of tutorials on Youtube. 

I remember someone once suggesting that if purchasing a dishwasher like this that has sat for a long time, fill it first with hot water directly from the tap and let it sit.  I think that helps to soften any brittle seals?  Others would know far more about this!

Wow!  When I got rid of an old Maytag Dishwasher, I put an add on Facebook Marketplace advertising first come/first serve...hauled it to the curb.  Someone immediately messaged me and it was gone in 30 minutes.

I have installed Bosch dishwashers in three different houses and they have all been trouble free.  I currently have an 800 tier model with Crystal Dry.  It is the best drying system on any dishwasher I've ever owned.  It is excellent!

I must admit that I'm always confused about HE detergent dosing in an old school top loader.  Does one use the same dose as an HE machine?  Since new HE detergents don't suds, I always wonder if I'm using the right amount. 

I have a set of them in various sizes.  They're probably most often used for cheese cake.  I also use them for crumb cake and coffee cakes with toppings when I don't want to leave the cake in the pan.  The spring form is useful in that case because flipping it out of the tin will ruin the topping!

The repairman who gave me the brake wrench told me that he hadn't used it in years and didn't anticipate needing it so it was mine!  I guess I caught him in a good mood!

I stopped by an appliance repair shop a few years ago and asked if I could borrow or rent the tool.  The guy just gave it to me!

Your Electrolux Model L definitely goes with the A107.  They're both entry level models and from the same era.   If photo 6 is a Diamond Jubilee, that would pair with the A506.  That plastic Electrolux will go with your 95 DC, although that Grand Marquis also might pair with it.   

Great staging with that photo!

When I totaled my 2019 Accord, I had a Nissan Altima rental for a couple of weeks and really liked it.  Nissan programs simulated shift points into the CVT, making it feel like a traditional transmission.  I seriously considered buying an Altima until I read about all the CVT issues with the...

That looks like the Speed Queen that I purchased way back in 1986.  I used the pair until I gave them away about five years ago. 

It sounds like it may be the inlet valve screens need to be cleaned and/or replaced.  If that doesn't work, changing the inlet valve itself should do the trick.  That humming is the solenoid on the valve.  It happens when there is insufficient water flow or the valve needs replacing.

You can't go wrong with any dishwasher with a party mode!  Very seventies!
