Hot Air Popper I have a hot-air popper that I got in the 80s sometime. I used it seldom, but recently thought about firing it up again. Back then, stores sold popping corn especially designated for hot-air popping. Now I don't see that kind. Was that really something different, or can "normal"...

The only item I have from the original list of four is the Foreman grill. I don't know what model it is, but the grill plates are fixed in position and do not come off. I always felt that electric can openers represented wretched excess, and vowed never to own one. I have two "Swing-A-Way"...

I dont remember the exact way it went but there was a Phoeni One model of Dodge Dart in 1960 was Seneca. The family of a friend of mine owned one.

The modern M series keyboards aren't that expensive. They list for around $80.00. I paid $149.00 for the Avant Prime keyboard which is the same as the onetime Northgate device (of which I own four, all shot, but I did like them very much.) It was very good, but after five or so years keys...

PS/2 & OS/2 By the time IBM rolled out this architecture, it was clear they no longer had the lead in the PC industry. I had this great mock advertisement imitating the style used in real ones. It announced in bold letters: PS/2: Yesterday's Hardware, TODAY! OS/2: Yesterday's Software...

Tucson AZ Evaporative coolers were predominant here for decades. Now I do not believe new houses even offer them as options. My house was built in 1978 and had an evaporative cooler for cooling and a mobile-home type resistive heating device for our mild winters. The water comes from nearby...

I started using computers in 1967... punching FORTRAN into cards for the Control Data 3600 at Michigan State University. My career developed around embedded computer systems, often writing machine language, modifying BOOT ROMs, tinkering together specialized operating systems. I was never very...

If you Google "Washing Machine Collection", aw.org i On Thursday morning, aw.org is the first link, also first for "washing machine collectors". I ran the experiment because I was curious whether the localization that Google performs would give me different results. Now, though, it seems a good...

Is this place in Quartzsite?

Could these be what you want? I have not seen Third Rock for at least ten years, but these sound like what you are describing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-EVE-BIG-EYE-PRINTS-11X14-RETRO-MOD-MID-CENTURY-READY-TO-FRAME-1960s-/380419447040?pt=Art_Prints&hash=item5892c41900

One Story 1200 sqft Block House on Slab, Built 1978 This house was built during a moratorium on new natural gas hookups, so there is no gas service in my subdivision. Newer ones have it, about 1/4 mile north. Original heat was resistive electric heater, such as found on mobile home. Original...

Lafayette Lafayette was another catalog-order electronics merchant. In the late 60s and maybe beyond that, they had a retail store in Warren MI which I frequented. Also back in those days was Olson Electronics, a catalog merchant with retail stores as well. I retrieved and revived a few things...

Heathkits and others Around 1973 I built the electronic clock kit. I still have it, and use it for the clock next to my computer. It looks just like the one in "dadoes" post, but my display segments are orange. (I have impaired color vision, to me the ones in dadoes' post look green. The...

OK thanks I never thought about bleach in the stainless steel lined dishwasher before reading this thread. Some posts in here made me anxious over it. If it's really not a cause for worry, I am glad to hear it.

So I am confused about Institutional Cascade The 54.XX box stuff. Does it contain chlorine bleach or not? Claims are made both ways earlier in the thread. I have some KA tall tub dishwasher with a stainless steel interior. I don't want to use bleach in it, and I don't want to spend the $$ for...

I probably have a half-dozen LD players of varying ages and capabilities that I got off eBay five or more years ago when they were plentiful and cheap. I kept the best one connected, and watched disks now and then. You could also score amazing things for very little money on eBay then. Example...

Stromberg Carlson 1950 My aunt, uncle, and grandmother who all lived together had this television with the oriental figures in relief. The painted portions of the cabinet were all black. It was kept for decades after the TV stopped working. All have passed on now, but my cousin still owns the...

Meijer When I was in college in the late 60s, there were Meijer Markets that sold groceries and Thrifty Acres which was a cut-rate department store. Right around then is when they began to combine under a single roof, and that was called Meijer's Thrifty Acres. At that time they were found...
