*relevant *facepalm* stupid no edit function.

This site is relavent to just about everyone here. About halfway down the page, there's some amazing shots of an early 60's kitchen with an avocado green KitchenAid Hobart. http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/non_aviation/print.main?id=2534970

check/replace the water pump.

Hey all, About a month ago, I posted a thread about getting a Speed Queen, this is about the machine that the SQ replaced. I've been digging a little deeper into this machine, and I'm beginning to suspect that it might actually be the water pump. What was orginally happening was the machine...

Holy..Talk about igniting a firestorm...Good Grief..

Follow up. We got the SQ, and we are very pleased. The dealer also said that he couldn't keep them in stock and sold at least 30 a month. Mine already came with hte water level adjusted. As I mentioned before, we don't believe the tub size is going to be that big a deal in the long run. There's...

Thanks for the replies. There's only three staying here at the house, but we have spurts (grandkids come over) where we do multiple loads in one day.However, the short, but effective wash times would play heavily in our favor. The small tub size MIGHT not be that much of an issue. The pros for...

@twintubdexter LOL, Well we won't talk about the fun I had at the antique mall with the Little Richard Speciality (Tutti Frutti)78 that had gotten cracked in shipping. Went from Victrola to Victrola, some as old as the 1920's. That got the attention of quite a few people. One of the coolest...

@twintubdexter, Beach Boys, most definitely, but Elvis, not so much. . These jukeboxes were around 10-15 years old when Elvis hit the scene, so many were still in daily use. I've seem them play Jerry Lee Lewis on youtube.

Our 1995 vintage Kenmore finally completely died.(Pretty sure it's the transmission, tub is completely locked up). We are considering replacing with a Speed Queen after hearing bad things about the HE washers, plus the insane wash times. There's also NO WAY IN H#LL we are getting a front loader...

@powerfin64, Rich, The head is connected to a shaft that has a flat head screw slot. It's visible when the bottom of the sprinkler is removed and you are looking up the post. The bearing is the part of the shaft that the flat head sits on. If you have a junk sprinkler, take one apart...

@rp2813, Sorry it took so long to respond, real life very hectic here, we've been dodging hail storms. While water pressure can affect these somewhat, the sprinkler should spin reasonably fast even at 50. The bearing is going out. One of my favorite "sleeper" sprinklers, they were made by...

I do minor refurb on those Rain King sprinklers, I absolutely love them. They do a fantastic job of watering the lawn. I have two in active use. One of them being a childhood sprinkler, but albeit it's not a very happy camper at the moment. There's two different versions of these sprinkers...

Inside the house, seperate the lights from the switch you want to leave on all the time, running a seperate hot off that switch. Put the lawn lights on the second switch.

Cascade Fryer Boil Out is the same as Cascade Professional. Your ahem *fryer* works like it used too, and the dishes are spotless.

@midcentnurse Sodium TriPolyPhosphate

Currently using a Friedrich KStar 6000BTU from 2006. I think it was the last of the units built in the US, it also uses R22. It works pretty well, but we wont talk about the fact that I have to run the damn thing when it's 40 degrees outside because the roommate keeps the furnace on "cremate"...

@twintub, Thanks! Surprised at the Garrard tt. Looks to be about a mid 60's model. In fact, that's a model that a magnetic cart can be installed. How does it sound?

@twintubdexter, Thread Is Worthless Without More Pix!
