Ampex made a stereo console for a while too, I found one in our local antique mall, but someone had put some sick '70s Brand X receiver in it. That would be another one to add to the list of higher end consoles. General Electric made really kicking components (not repackaged console gear) for a...

Canterbury Tales Skagg's Electric was our G E dealer for years. They had this identical set in the back of their showroom, years after its 1960 introduction. It was like new, only being about ten years old. It sounded wonderful. This one was on ebay a few times, starting at $100 and gradually...

General Electric and Porta Fi My Spanish teacher, Mrs. Valdivia, had the class over to her house one day, she had a huge Danish General Electric console with the Porta Fi speakers. I know I commented on them, but didn't press any, because I didn't want to interrupt the reason we were there...

If I can't have a Magnavox, then I'll get a General Electric. I love those things, wish I still had mine! You'll find out that's the best ten dollars you ever spent!

I almost hate to mention it, but headshells are available online, Magnavox/Collaro, and a good ceramic stereo pickup, of course for safe playing of modern vinyl. 

I miss Grease Relief and Aero-Wax. 

PaperMate pens PaperMate had many great models of pens over the years, they used car names for some, like Mark II, Ninety Eight (which was actually the price too) Capri, Holiday, maybe others. I had three that got lost over the years, when I took them to work. The last one I bought was a chrome...

Frigidaire Kitchen of Tomorrow From "Design For Dreaming". 

It's made by Eureka for Western Auto. I believe there are threads in VacuumLand related to all of the Eureka clones during that time period.

It would have been criminal to take that place down. Too many of his works have met the wrecking ball already.

French Provinchinal 1951 Magnavox Stereo Make a bar or a curio cabinet out of it. Yeah, right. http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/atq/3488136084.html

Yeah, I saw that it's a "sterio", and the only Centurion I recall is the Buick Centurion, which I would rather have LOL . When I went nuts one day and bought another Magnavox console from St. Vincent de Pauls a couple years back, the Latino lady in the store had it marked "Estereo" which I think...

Merry Christmas to Me....... :P I bought my fourth percolator from the Goodwill in the rich section of the county just a few days ago.  I was going to give it to a friend, but when I read CANADIAN GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY LIMITED / BARRIE ONTARIO CANADA printed on the bottom, I decided to give...

Thanks for that insight Sandy, Pajama Game had such a homey overall look to it, from the factory to the tidy Victorian homes on her street.  We had a farmhouse sink in our rented 1935 Cape Cod in Lynchburg, Virginia. I didn't care for it, or the 1935 bathroom, our one door Frigidaire fridge or...

Centurion, must be a really esoteric brand. And no picture either, not a good selling point.

Bill the radio star One of the swelled heads I graduated high school with got into his dream job of radio after he graduated college. A few years ago he had an ad to read on air for a local acoustic ceiling cleaning service. The business had the clever name of "Coustic Glo". Bill, in his best...

Another Doris Day kitchen from the pre '59 era is 1957's "Pajama Game" in the house she shared with her dad.

Ma and Pa Kettle won a dream house, and they treated it like a dream house. I was wondering if someone would mention that killer kitchen in "Susan Slept Here" one of the best things in the movie! Honorable Mention is a kitchen in "The Girl Can't Help It" which has a thoroughly domestic Jerri...

Oh that's easy Their kitchen

Wow, it's worth it to me, even if the refrigerator is hinged on the right, I'd live with that. Too bad they're about 1800 miles from here.
