There is a screw behind the light buttons It looks like it is a phillips head, but a little stripped.

I just started renting a duplex in Burlingame, California, that has this neat, black "American Range Crown series" forty inch range with six burners and two ovens and two broilers. Except the clock and lights, everything works. It is grimy. I have two questions: 1) Does anyone know how to access...

I took a sleeper train from San Luis Obispo, California, to Seattle, Oregon. We had the nicest accommodations available, five years ago. I think it looks like there are more options available now on this line. I'm 6' 6" tall, and I was okay with the size, but if there had been two of me, it...

I, too, love trains, the old ones, new ones -- all kinds. I'm going on a train foliage tour of Vermont in October with Trains Unlimited Tours. Have any of you used this company? http://www.trainsunlimitedtours.com/vermont-fall-colors-explorer.html

Mike, I put it in the mail today, and it should be there by Thursday. George

MIKE, it is yours! I also have a copy of the original manual that came with these appliances. I'll get them both in the mail tomorrow. I'm so glad that someone wanted it.

Chuck sent me a KitchenAid A-9 coffee mill in this box about fifteen years ago. I am cleaning out the garage and somethings have to go. If anyone on this site wants this, I will wrap it and send it to you free. I just don't want to throw it away. By the way, the coffee mill has had some motor...

Louis, Do you notice a difference between your coffee and coffee made in other drip coffee makers? Someone told me how particular Starbucks is about commercial outlets using their coffee. The story was that an airline was going to use Starbucks coffee, but the airline could not guarantee all of...

This is the Newco OCS12. The "OCS" stands for "Office Coffee Service". The Newco OCS12A may be connected to a water source. I find it more plain Jane than the Technivorm, and I haven't been able to learn if the heating device is copper as is claimed for the Technivorm. The Newco is cheaper --...

A few days ago, I read in 'Cook's Illustrated" magazine an article on electric drip coffee makers. They did not rate the Newco 12 and Newco 12A, but they claimed the Netherlands-made Technivorm KBT741 (I may have those letters and numbers mixed up) THE best coffee maker. The bad news is that it...

I have one of the GE flatplate ironers (with just one dial) which I bought from a "junque" store about fourteen years ago for $40.00. It is great for completely flat items, like pillow cases. It presses the material flatter than a rotary ironer. I think the Ironrite is geneally faster, but right...

We have had an LG dishwasher for about three years. Our first was replaced in just less than a year. The second one has had a minor problem, the button for the extra rinse and sanitary feature works very poorly (I have to press it for many seconds for it to engage). I called for service, and the...

My family loves sour dough waffles. Our recipe: The night before mix all the sour dough starter you have (for us, this is about 2 cups) with 5 cups of flour and 3 1/2 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast. I put this all in a k-45 kitchenAid bowl that I cover with a dinner plate...

I often read and enjoy these discussion threads. I want to second what Volvoguy87 wrote above. We've had that Moen ExactTemp for a few years, and it still works perfectly. Every time I step into the shower, I appreciate its technology. I wrote a Hub about it because I like it so much. rp2813, I...

I have used ammonia to clean old fashioned gas stove burners in this way: dampen paper two or three layers of paper towels with ammonia and put it on the area with the baked on grease; then put it all in a plastic bag, close the bag, and the next day, the baked on grease will usually just wipe...

That was interesting. Thanks for sharing it. George

Yes, I remember these machines, and really like seeing them. The one you have pictured appears to be in amazingly good condition. What often happens to these machines is that they are eventually moved to a garage for storage, and there they rust further, and get dinged up even more. Thanks for...

Chuck,it sounds like this was a day of getting better. Good to hear! -- George

Chuck, take care of yourself, and know that I care about how you are doing. As someone said above, keep us posted. George

Ralph, my mother insisted that I needed a Kitchenaid mixer (K45) in the early seventies although we had a perfectly good Hamilton Beach stand mixer. She said that we'd like it better. Well, she was right. Bless her soul, she also loved attachments, so I even had not only the citrus attachment...
