"a faster Subaru" "I've always told everyone that if I ever won the lottery I'd probably just buy a faster Subaru, and that's still true!" Well, I ain't won no lottery yet but when my 1998 Subaru Legacy GT wagon threw a rod I did not hesitate to bag the TOL 2006 Subaru OUTBACK XT Ltd turbo...

I would so love to have a stainless steel BOCK centrifugal extractor in my basement. I've been looking for one of these for 8 years, ever since they disappeared from the 3 local laundromats. In fact they seem to have disappeared across the nation; I simply never see them anymore. Certainly never...

Re: Reply# 44 & 45 Yes, I did, Pete...after intensive online researh. As always, I wanted to see and examine the item in person to see if it would meet and satisfy my needs. Agree whole-heartedly, Doug. I luvs my coffee and have a rather excessive collection of vintage manual drip and electric...

I remember those although I don't recall the brand or where I saw it. The one I remember was in avocado green so that'll help date it. I'd say early to mid 1970s. How wonderful yours is complete and the fact that it works means it was treated well and is a testament to how well things were still...

Well and simply explained, Neil. Yes, and Lewyt had a toothed metal gleaner bar comb/scraper for the tub series and Big Wheel carpet/hard floor nozzles. This bar was spring-loaded (usually the spring is broken) and it was hinged so that it flipped back and forth with the to & fro motion over...

The business end.

Not at all the same. The Vibra-Beat is a whole different animal. A curious inexplicable design that Eureka made for many years, if not over a couple of decades. Which is weird considering how ineffective it is and the ear-shattering racket it produces. I can't imagine a new Eureka owner using...

Dave's personal ergonomic analysis I like to sit back in my Morris chair and view the 25" widescreen monitor set at 1920 x 1080 pixels, from a comfortable distance. I have been using scroll wheel wireless mice for what seems like decades now and I use the chair's wide level arm as the mousing...

Getting the same thing here. The highlighting is distracting and unnecessary. If your mouse does not get placed at the top before you start scrolling down it jams on the way back up with subsequent scrolling. Not liking it. Not one bit... Dave

Three thumbs up for portable AC I have three of them and they are ideal for my situation, an 1895 brick cottage with a second floor built in the peaked roof attic space. A house this old was not built with hermetic sealing in mind although I have over the years thoroughly replaced and caulked...

My Subaru Outback is no Lexus but it is AWD since I live in Gary's neighborhood, relatively speaking. The ignition uses a chipped key that will (should) only start my car. The separate unlock/lock remote does not work when the car is running. Thus I too was not able to keep the car running and...

These days the average tire width is 225mm and up and alloy wheels measure a minimum of 7.5" wide, for that fat beefy butch look with the larger rounder body stylings. SUVs really go overboard in tire width falsely advertised as a safety feature, to mimic the looks of Monster Trucks. Most SUVs...

Funny this thread would come up. Workmates and I have been talking about going to the Drive-in this summer & fall. While most are long gone (Stratford had one I would go to weekly, until 1980 when the lot corner at the edge of town was converted to a transport truck parking lot) quite a few are...

Municipalities do flush their systems twice a year and we always receive notices that water may be discoloured over a few weeks as they move around the town. If you have a cold water inline filter as my water softener does you will see the yellow sediment and I always wait until after the...

When I got the 2006 Subaru outback there was no shelf depth or room to suction mount my old faithful 4" NUVI within the instrument cluster; I used to mount it to the left of the speedometer over the tachometer gauge in the 1998 Legacy. I got used to the convenience of glancing quickly through...

A little while back I snagged this totally groovy slant drawer sewing table for $5 on half price day. No machine inside but that's no problem with more than a dozen lying around my house. The top leaves open out for a looooong cantilevered work surface. Dave

Paul, Chicago is a mere 6 hour drive south west of Minneapolis MN where the greatest Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Club Convention of 2011 will be held in mid September. I understand that there is a minor smattering of Washing Machines, Dryers and Appliance Smalls there, too... Dave...

For Vacuum Trivia Minituae fans. I started an First & Early Power Nozzle thread over in Vacuum land that kinda exploded. :-) Dave http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?11920_38

bottom plate with edge channels and three nylon rollers. A little bird tells me that due to Minneapolis' proximity to Chicago a certain webmaster may be packing a superbly pristine prize-winnable CanLux 80 Series... Well, I do have all 6 variations of the Canadian LOAF series with hoses &...
