Jon I also have the exact 1976 machine in harvest gold. The front panel on mine has a lot of rust from being outside in the patio.

Ralph Thanks for the help. James

For sale on Craigslist San Francisco is a 1977 Frigidaire Custom Deluxe washer in White for sale for $20.00. Owner bought a new washer and is getting rid of the working washer. I have a 1976 similar model and have been searching for an Unimatic for what's left of my limited space at home. Her...

Rich/Sudsmaster There are two grades of Lee Kum Kee oyster sauce. The Lee Kum Kee Panda brand is cheap and it's thickened with a lot of starch and is less intense in flavor than the premium grade. Costco even carries a large bottle of the premium grade oyster sauce so it's readily available in...

I have to agree with Sudsmaster regarding the Chinese stir frying technique (high heat and quick cooking). However you do not need a wok to achieve similar results. A high sided saute skillet properly heated before adding ingredients does just as well. My elderly mother has being stir frying...

I was the one that forwarded my initial contact with Dave Stoelk to Robert since I did not want to deal with him.

I was contacted by Dave Stoelk, producer/correspondent of the show back in December 2, 2009. Knowing how quirky this man was, I did not respond. Just happened I attended a fundraising luncheon a few days earlier for a major non profit organization in San Francisco and someone I knew asked...

Just watched the television program Eye on the Bay in San Francisco (KPIX-5). Tonight's topic was on unusual collectors. A person named Dan who's a automatic washer collector was featured. He was anonymous because he felt collecting washers would result in being laughed at if found out. He...

Would love to be there and play with the washers and meet the others that will attend. Because of time constraints last year, I had to cut my visit short at your home. Luckily you did a load of wash in the Philco Bendix that fascinated me.

Happy Birthday Robert!

My elderly mom (89 years old) refers to all front loading washers whether vintage or current models as Bendix. That was what most of the neighbors on the block had in the late 40's when she immigrated from China. Dad got her a Frigidaire unimatic in 1951.

Sudmaster Thanks for the photo of the old White Front Store located where Seals Stadium was situated. I had totally forgotten about this big store on 16th and Potrero Avenue. It then became J. Borg Home Improvement Store, then car dealerships and Safeway and presently an enlarged shopping...

Thanks Robert and Happy New Year

In San Francisco almost 70 percent of the trash is recycled or composted. The City recently passed a law mandating composting all food waste along with the garden clippings. My trash now mostly consist of items for recycling or composting and maybe at most two supermarket bags of garbage. Two...

Sorry, it's Eye on the Bay. I was thinking of the former show at that time slot. Dave Stoelk does the odd/unusual segments of the program.

I was the original person contacted by KPIX-TV and forwarded his request to do a show to Robert. Unfortunately I do not want his film crew for the show, Evening Magazine taking over my house since my small collection is scattered in four different locations (my parent's basement, my kitchen, my...

My brother-in-law has an aunt that had a Rheem gas dryer when I last visited her home in the 70's. I remembered that the dryer was quite bulky next to her GE filter flo washer with the built in bleach dispenser on the front of the washer.

Met the owner of the shop a few years ago to purchase a chrome drip pan for my 1948 Wedgewood gas range. He mentioned that he used to have an appliance shop in San Francisco's Glen Park area which I remembered when I shopped in the area near my home. There were used washers, dryers...
