Speed Queen parts vs. Maytag parts It seems like there are still several ways to acquire spare parts for Maytag wringers. Is the same true of Speed Queen wringers or are you on your own?

Maytag or others? I've been interested in acquiring a wringer washer for quite some time. I know Maytag wringers are probably the most common, but Speed Queen seems to be a close 2nd in the used searches. While Maytag wringer parts seem to be findable for the most part, are there still...

Well done, well done Good video. The washer did all the explaining and the music helped without any speech needed. For some real fun, you could take this video and put it through a program to make it look like a silent film. The music would be perfect...

I've never been to a Wash In before and am not a big poster here on AW. I'm interested in this one as I should be in Pittsburgh at that time.

Agreed zanussi_lover Usually change bath towel and hand towel once a week here. I use a hand towel (usually an old one unless expecting company) as a dedicated bath mat. When I moved into my current house the washer had a cold water hook up only. When I inquired why my landlord stated that...

Atari 1040 ST here ....from 1986. My dad purchased it one day right before picking me up from kindergarten. Still have it and I believe it probably still turns on. We had two: 1 had an external disk drive and 500K of RAM, the other had an internal disk drive and 1 MB of RAM. My dad would...

Good site too for lamp restoration The link below also appears to be quite good. I think I may just end up ordering the "new" kit cluster instead of attempting to re-wire the original as I'm basically an electrical novice. I was fortunate that the fundamentals of the lamp though, including the...

Mogul restoration question I recently purchased a Mogul floor lamp, that I hoped was in working condition. Sadly, despite appearing cosmetically ok, it does not work. I got it at a price good for restoration, so I'm not heartbroken. This model has the standard 3-way Mogul socket in the...

Neat I recall my dad's parents having what must have been one of these, but theirs had a circle fluorescent light on the lower ring instead of the 3 separate bulbs. As a kid I always wondered why they had a lamp with "little half moons" as I don't think the lamp worked by the time I was around...

No central heating here... I'm living in a rental that is my landlord's family's homestead over a hundred years ago. Due to its age, it does not have central heating or cooling at all. Instead in the living room, which is more or less central to the house, there are two LP stoves: one a larger...

Apparently still made, though quite expensive... in England. If money were no object, a Catchpole & Rye outfitted bathroom would be sweet. http://www.crye.co.uk/product/la-cage-shower/la-cage

None taken, agree with Volvoguy87 If I ever hit the lottery enough, I'd love to have a house with a few bathrooms outfitted in various eras, say early 20th, mid-century, current. This type of shower would definitely go in the early 20th-era one.

Clarification Sorry for not being more descriptive last night but I saw an article about them but was tired. I think they fall into the "what's old is new again" category. Ribcage/needle showers definitely aren't water/resource friendly as I've seen estimates you need at least a 70 US gal...

I've seen these in older movies/bathing areas. They look like a real blast, pardon the pun. They're quite rare as I understand. Anyone ever had the opportunity to use one? Thoughts?

Ladies and gentlemen, our tour guide Harry. . . I never realized Harry was Kimball455. He is the tour guide for the Atlantic City Convention Hall Organ Society's tour of Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ. I was on a tour back on the first week of August. If you're ever in the area...

Now for a comparison... Let's have someone create a similar load in a top loader and see how the results are..... I'm not taking bets....

Is Foca gone? I (like Polkanut) can't find Foca around here or at least can't seem to. Does anyone know if Foca's being pushed out like Polkanut mentioned?

Same here My previous apartment came with a late 80s/early 90s Filter Flo set and I miss them dearly....so much better than my current house's Roper. Yeah, it washes and at least it doesn't have a Cruel Action agitator, but I get tired of having to constantly remember to force it into a spin...

You mean I'm the first to notice this and post it? WOW. Anyway, looks like there will be an incentive for people to buy new appliances coming our way soon. Thoughts? http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/aug2009/db20090821_304909.htm

I've done some research, etc. as I begin looking for a new portable dishwasher for my house. My kitchen does not really have room for a built in, fyi. I know the model selection is limited for a portable, but I figured I'd get yinzes' (western PA's version of the South's "ya'll") opinion. What...
