Huh?

Speaking of draining washers, an aunt and Uncle of mine who lived in the country drained their machine out into a vegetable garden (I don't think it was intentional) and I remember cabbage that tasted like Cheer. Don't even want to think about the bleach. After my family informed them of the...

Well, today was fun again. I arrived at a new place, John's Trading Post, met a man named Chris and he was kind enough to show me around the back. Actually this is a new furniture and appliance store which sells Crosleys. I gave my number on a card to him and he jotted down the name of this...

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Something else for the yuppies to walk all over each other trying to obtain- Oh the fakery of it all! But seriously, the AGA stoves (cookers), look like the ultimate in la cuisiniere. I had read up on them years ago and was very impressed (who wouldn't be at...

Truthfully, Folks I apologize I was grieving for the loss of one of our truly magnificient old machines. Hope I didn't sound like a spoiled kid who didn't get the candy in the store! The thrill of the chase is a real rush, I must say. I must get in touch with Marty, aka as agitatethis who lives...

BTW Pete What did Sunbeam call that toaster? The vacuum pot was called a coffeemaster, the mixer a mixmaster, and I think the electric skillet was a frymaster. Certainly not a toastmaster! Anyway, it's a beautiful toaster, my favorite, with wide slots before everyone else started making them...

That's why it's called Venus thanks for the encouragement. Austin inspired me. Bob-have a kleenex. Just opened a fresh box. They are out there, aren't they? Hope you find a nice set for yourself.

hehehehe! Well, when you got it, you got it!

thanks Jimmy for the informative and instructional pix and dialogue. And also, airways rock! So does Frig. Hopefully, I'll get lucky and need to repair/restore one too.

Look at Robert and Greg and Jon They have plenty of machines to use, if one needs repair there is always another to use. Having many old washers and dryers certainly equals out to one new one and are much more fun to use!

Good Mike-I think everyone should try to be neat. Shined shoes, haircuts, pressed clothes. People do talk, your right. BTW- I'll volunteer to give free ironing lessons this summer at convention. No, I never did a mangle, but the rest is easy. I see the iron about once a week or so, so I'm not...

Since I drive daily on the job, I get a little extra time to do what I want. Went on a washer hunt in the vicinity of West Monroe-Monroe Louisiana. Found a dump alongside the road on US80, nothing but KM DD, an Amana dryer 2 KM dryers, 1 Maytag early 80's in Harvest (dryer), a crummy old WCI...

I ironed this morning A shirt with my GE and my trusty ironing board. loved every minute of it. I starting to get worried about me. Licking my fingers and checking the heaat on the soleplate. Spraying down the shirt with water from the iron. Lovin' every minute of it. Everyone needs a hobby.

Grate Nate Love your machines, love your wash-in. BTW thers really nothing bad about a hg maytag, so much better than what is made now with tag's name on it. I'm with you, tho, I'd keep that 1-18. If Roger's a Maytag man, then who better than to have it? Thanks for the pics and story-David

Great pics Nate Thanks for the mini-basket demo. I always wondered just how they worked, but only new one person who had one. The machine was a 65' versatronic I believe. It was the TOL GE in coppertone-lighted panel, just beautiful. You bet I'll grab the next one I see! And I want the dryer to...

Hello Rick I'm abstaining from the kitchen redo opinions, but if your family wants it authentic, then they must keep it. I saw a great deal of knotty pine growing up and it does tend to get old quick as a look. In my earliest childhood home we had youngstown white steel cabinets with yellow...

Hi Don Looked at your pics and You have quite a nice collection yourself! In one of your pics, I see a 3 stooges cookie jar? Love it, Love it. I'm going to be on the lookout for one of those. You have lots of great appliances, love your frige and stove (such a good match for that kitchen) and...

BTW Rick That's a beautiful paint job on your kenmore set. Wish I could see one like it. My step-mother back in the 90's had her 65 Frigidaire bottom freezer frig painted avocado(?) from its original coppertone. I don't know why she wanted this since nothing else in her home was avocado. Never...

Rick and Venus You can find a lot of car painters out there who are willing to moonlight, if you can't get into a shop. You probvbly will find one, I just don't see mnay shops in my area getting into painting things outside of cars other than spraying bedliners in trucks. I have seen a cooktop...

Hi Pete I share that problem with my dryer which is a Kenmore. I keep a container of those wet wipes- Clorox, lysol, etc.- to wipe my machines off when all that dusty lint starts spreading around the tops. And it helps somewhat. Even with a lint screen cleaned regularly, the dryer vented with...
