I have a 36" Fisher and Paykel gas cooktop with 5 burners. The center burner has 18,000 BTU for wok cooking and boiling large pots of water. There is also a similar model with a 14,000 BTU burner in the center but costs less. I've been very happy with the layout and performance of this cooktop...

Those were 1951 Westinghouse slant fronts with a huge stainless steel extractor right at the entrance to the laundry on the corner of Washington Street and Powell Street near the Chinatown Branch of the SF Public Library. The business and washers have long gone since the 90's. As a child in the...

The launderette is still in operation for service washes. There is also a coin operated laundry at the corner of this building. They were using harvest gold Maytags for many years but switched to Speed Queens after a major remodel. There is another launderette about 5 blocks south of this...

I had the middle of line model of this GE dishwasher. Mine was a 1966 model.

Today's pic of the day featuring the WO-65 Frigidaire washer was the exact one my parents purchased in late 1951 after my sister was born. It has the white plastic lid handle and the newer version pulsator.

My partner's just completed office building in San Francisco required by SF building codes that the office kitchen must be ADA compliant meaning the height of the cabinets are two inches lower than standard cabinet height. Therefore standard height dishwashers could not fit in the space. I had...

I have a 1998 BMW 3 series that I love driving and has been relatively reliable. Just took the car in for routine service and my mechanic for the last 30 years mentioned to me that the 3 series from 1994 to 1998 has been the best when compared to newer versions. The repairs may be costly but the...

I did see this washer in person in a membership only store in the industrial part of San Francisco. The washer had the Easy spiralator agitator and solid tub.

I have the exact same machine (harvest gold) that I paid $30 to have it delivered to me in San Francisco. Originally had my Maytag removed from the utility room and the 1-18 installed. Discovered during the first wash that the thumping sound during agitation resonated throughout the house...

That's a beautiful washer. Brings back memories of my mother's 1963 Custom Deluxe washer that was used for over 30 years until the outer tub rusted out. Someone on Craigslist- SF in San Mateo had a 1963 Custom Imperial for sale two years ago.

I just filled up at Costco for $2.99 a gallon (premium). Regular unleaded was $2.49

Rich Wish I had known you were getting rid of the Wedgewoods. My partner has a 1948-49 40" Wedgewood with Chrome top. One of the burner drip bowls had corroded badly and we found a replacement that was in fair shape. I would have been willing to purchase a replacement from you if you had one in...
