I'm very happy with how the aluminum turned out. If anyone needs aluminum polishing, here is the contact information for the person who did mine. The cost was surprisingly reasonable:   Ray Carpenter. email:  [email protected]   Thanks to Steve Sansone (54monroe) for the referral.

A couple of months ago I sent the aluminum broiler pans and the griddle off to be professionally polished. They came back today and look amazing! I'll post some pics this evening. Next I'll send off the chrome and then I can put the stove together and start using it. I'll then start on getting...

Thank you Louis.

Leek pie is a classic here. I make it with smoked chicken an Mmmm...recipe please!   Thanks for the input about the green parts everyone. I'll try using them in the future.

Absolutely no need to apologize for something out of your control, Robert. Thanks for keeping this great site running, visiting here is a nice break from a busy stressful day.

I love leeks myself and often sub them for onions when I cook. All of the recipes I've seen say not to use the green parts so I've never tried them, I've just used the white part.

For the stove insulation, check a local appliance repair shop or check ebay.   I replaced both side panels on my stove (A friend gave me a 40" Roper of the same style so I have a "parts" donor but will ultimately restore it too). As I posted before, the legs that the stove sits on are a weak...

I haven't had them made yet.

Very nice. It looks like at least one rear leg is bent judging by the damage at the lower rear of the side panel. This is common with these stoves, the legs are stamped steel trapezoids that are expected to support the stove weight. They bend if the stove is slid out from the wall for moving or...

Sarah, I'm sure there is a reduction gear built into the Kitchen Center for the ice cream attachment, you wouldn't want it to go at blender speeds. That will complicate making an adapter for the sunbeam mixer.   And its pronounced Fronk-In-Steen

Oh, I have the perfect beverage glasses for your outdoor bar, got them off ebay. There is another set listed if you are interested: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RETRO-50S-FROSTED-TALL-TIKI-GLASSES-W-WOOD-DESIGN-CENTER-BY-SIESTA-WARE-9-/321327229374?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ad09869be

Awesome set up Justin. If I can buy the vacant lot next door I plan on doing something like that with a Japanese style garden as a setting.

Kevin's cooking vids are fun and informative. His hummus and city chicken recipes are two of my faves. I hope he posts more.

The last fridge with the TV and beer taps - 1954 Frigidaire Imperial Cycla-Matic like mine.   Yes Sandy, they lost me with the same quote.

My house had the built-in ironing board too, but the ironing board was removed long ago. I converted the built-in cabinet into a spice rack.

I have a phone nook and two other smaller built in cubbyholes in my breakfast area. I have a mail slot/interior box like Polkanut's. I have added several ceiling medallions as I've remodeled, just waiting to take down and clean two chandeliers to add two more. I wish I had the transoms.   I...

You can lighten the stove somewhat by removing the burners, grates, and other loose heavy stuff before moving. You can also remove the side panels to prevent further damage.

Unless mice have had a field day in the insulation, or spilt grease has saturated it over the years, there is no need to replace or add insulation.   These stoves are safe to use, but as with any type of plumbing, you need to check all of the connections for leaks. Soapy water and a brush is...

Hi Snoggle I have my stove sitting on a couple of furniture dollies right now. Be careful, one common issue is the feet - they are stamped steel and bend easily so don't try to slide the stove. $200.00? That's a steal! Even in rough shape it is probably worth over $1000.00.   These old gas...

Phil That is an old one, missing the tray on back to catch the sliced meat. U.S. Slicing Machine Co. was the U.S. branch of Berkel, who invented the slicing machine. Berkel expanded to the U.S. (Chicago) in 1909 under the U.S. Slicing Machine Co. name but moved to LaPorte, Indiana six years...
