    Admiral Playmate.

    Yes, Speedqueen.... I love Gary at VM! I had had a standing account for years. Actually, it doesn't need an Idler, that is one of the many pluses that make this unit worth it.

    Funny (to me anyway) conversation at Walmart

    The other thing the industry doesnt tell you about a bagless ...is, that most bagless, and meaning most of them especially sold at the big box stores, not only have a Hepa filter that needs cleaned, but a new filter is recommended every 6 months. Generally those filters range from $20..to as...

    Yes, all my portables do. Sadly those filters are NLA, and have been for some time. I might have a used but fairly clean one if you are interested, let me do some checking and confirm that.

    Thrifting Finds! Part One

    I have the.... Gold portable too, it was called Autumn Gold. It was one step below the Marine blue model, because it didn't have a cord reel.

    Admiral Playmate Record Player

    Bud.... Your Admiral playmate is from around 1963, tube products like this were pretty much obsolete by 1965. I can I tell you right now, that the amp will need a FULL restoration to use and safety, which can be done, it is not impossible. I will also likely need a new cartridge, That cartridge...

    My "new" Stove!

    Hey there, So, since I have bought my house, and have a nice large kitchen. I have been looking into getting a much more deluxe stove.

    KDI-57A Imperial Portable Dishwasher - Sink adapter

    atleast that is the standard adaptor.... when I got my 1963 GE Mobile Maid, I had to jump through hoops to get the right adapter. It takes a really odd skinny one.

    Hoover S3237 Celebrity QS canister vac, anyone use one?

    Oh, Well Allen, then your problem is a pretty easy fix.. This is what has happened. That cord reel is set up so a rubber break pad sits snug against the edge of the cord reel. In the 30 plus years the cord has been pulled out for use and retracted, the rubber pad had deteriorated. Thus not...

    Hoover S3237 Celebrity QS canister vac, anyone use one?

    I have a Cord reel I could part with. Your Hoover Celebrity in Shadow and Mist Grey is the rare Electronic model from about 1983. The ONLY canister to have a dual speed power head EVER! These are very powerful canisters. I love using mine. You will need to be careful finding wands. All...

    Early 70's Whirlpool dishwasher question...

    Since.... There was already the space where a new dishwasher was. Cutting a hole and such has already been done, so size would be the only question. There is even an outlet under the sink so I can keep the existing cord on it. Thanks for your help!=)

    Early 70's Whirlpool dishwasher question...

    Hello. As some of you know I have a early 70's Whirlpool portable dishwasher that is my regular machine that I use. I am very pleased with it, and it does such a good job. I don't mind it being a portable, but since I have bought my house and my residency here is permanent. I have considered...
