Gary... I know you are in Canada, but there is a place in Ohio that does turntable repair, and also sells repair parts. My one turntable works, but needs a new idler wheel. The other turntable does not work. I keep thinking of taking a road trip to Ohio and have them repair the thing -...

One thing that I forgot to mention... The "beast" in my reception room is so heavy, it has heavy-duty casters hidden underneath. I wonder how many folks back then hefted the thing around in order to clean? Joe

And then in my reception room... I have another Zenith, another Craig'sList Pittsburgh find that I purchased last month. It is a "Molina" model, and was purchased in 1968, for $650. I have the sales receipt, the owners' manual, hang tags, and a catalog detailing all of Zenith's console stereo...

What a nice console... ...from a different time. Do you listen to it much? I had forgotten about recordable 8-track tapes. My parents bought a Zenith Allegro stereo (it was wedge-shaped) in the mid 1970s, and it had an 8-track tape recorder. I remember recording some of my "albums" on...

For the life of me... ...I don't know why my father brought the Underwood home when the mine closed and he began work for another company, but I am glad that he did! Joe

And, the Royal Quiet Deluxe... ...that I bought on eBay about ten years ago. Joe

My Smith Corona Sterling... ...which my parents purchased in the mid to late 1960s.

I only have three typewriters... My father's Underwood. He worked for a coal mining company for nearly thirty years, working in the supply house. His job was to order and receive all of the supplies that the local mine needed. I have a photo in my reception room, of my father, sitting beside...

Recently, I came across a J.C. Penney full size microwave, built in October of 1986, and listed on Craigslist. After a number of emails back and forth with the seller, I went to see the microwave, and ended up buying it. There's a story behind this unit, for it is the same model that I...

A good iron will turn up... ...because I have found a couple of GE irons (with sole plates that are in very good condition) that I picked up at thrift shops. There's nothing like the heft of a vintage iron to get the job done, and the ones from the 60s and 70s steam very well. Just keep...

For most of the summer, I have been scouring the local CraigsList ads, looking for an older 30-inch range for the kitchen here at the old farmhouse. Late last week, I finally found a range that not only called my name, was in impeccably good condition (everything works, down to the timer...

I'm embarrassed Thanks for the kind correction...I was in a hurry to post the original post and my brain was on another planet. I do that sometimes.

Listed in Central Pennsylvania's State College Craigslist. Thought that I would pass on the word, as I would hate to see this fall into bad hands. It's $200, perhaps someone could weedle the price down. Joe http://pennstate.craigslist.org/app/1899988064.html

Or... ...at Pittsburgh Craigslist. Joe http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/app/1899986095.html

My inquiring mind has been wandering through Trivialand, once again, and I have a new question. When did Tappan switch from round gas burner grates to square ones? Was this a 1990s thing, or did the switch take place a little earlier? Just curious, and thank you all for your info. Joe

the color almond popular for kitchen appliances? When I purchased my city house in 1990, it came with an almond fridge and stove. Am I correct in guessing that almond was a 1980s color? Strange, the things that I ponder. Thanks loads, Joe

Have been shopping at Aldi for years... Aldi is always the first stop on my weekly grocery shopping jaunt, and is where I purchase all of my basics. I've always been pleased by the quality and price. As for payment methods, I pay by debit card. Joe
