You can get led bulbs in any color range you like. 2500k or so is yellowish like the old incandescent bulbs we are used to. 5k is very bright white and is what I decided to use in most of our house. PGE here was giving out energy saver kits for free if you asked and eventually sent us about 8 3k...

I have the Royal/Starks version of a Kirby and it's lighter and still cleans and grooms the carpet like a beast. I also have their 4650 canister with the later power head and a older 413 power tank, plus a Compact C9 Canister my mom bought new and gave me recently. I mostly use the 5700 upright...

Acetone might cut it as long as it doesn't melt the shirt. I try to hit my clothes with wd 40 if it's fresh. We use vulcem at work and it's like tar but never dries out and stays flexible for years but once it gets on something it's as bad or worse than tar and will not come out of clothes once...

Look for pure gas.com or something similar and you can find all the non ethanol stations in your area. I have one a few miles away but it's premium only and is usually a dollar more then ethanol premium is. I use it in my lawn equipment and should have put it in my cars that just sit as they...

I'm sure back in the day I worked on a few but I never really like the way they were built or the picture they gave. Some of the later Magnavox and RCA sets weren't too bad and I actually put a new tube in a Magnavox early 80's console for my Mom and step Dad back in the day because they weren't...

Watch craiglist I found a used Royal/Starks top of the line 5700 upright on CL for free. I already had all the machines listed but I kinda wanted to try their upright as we have a lot of carpet and they are supposed to be lighter then a Kirby and clean and groom just as well. Guy listed it...

I have a couple Royal canisters, a 4650, a 413, a 5700 upright, moms old Compact C9, Moms Royal 501, a couple of stick vacs etc. I usually use the 5700 and the c9 lately. The 4650 gets into corners and edges best, the C9 does great on throw rugs and the 5700 is a beast that really grooms and...

Radio phone contests... I was given a old 4 line rotary black business phone in the late seventies and wired it probably with a adapter to my rooms phone jack. I used that phone to win many, many record albums from my favorite rock station, a trip to the US festival in 83 etc. We didn't have...

You might as well wait for answers and do some research now that you have it apart anyways. I have the Kenmore 28102 top loader he machine I bought new in like 14 and the tub bearings are shot already. I bought the shaft and bearings kit and the tool and just don't feel like tearing it down as...

I'd go for the biggest one you can comfortably afford. Like everyone says when everything starts back up thats a huge current draw till everything stables out and gets to steady state that should draw a lot less power. As far as solar the tiny house next door was equipped with a large solar...

750 watts seems like a ton of power back then. I have a 1.4cf early 90s Emerson and it brags about being 800 watts. I had a older Sharp from the 80s that was 600 watts and could barely do popcorn. I remember seeing those in friends houses back in the early 70s and being impressed. One of thems...

I'm off the main street about 10 blocks, the house had new double pane windows, siding, roof, and great insulation for when it was built so with the windows closed even with neighbors 20 feet away on both sides its pretty quiet at night. You hear some cars occasionally and a noisy Harley a...

We use some round flat pancake led bulbs in our droplights at work now too. Same thing, I don't get burned all the time and they put out decent light. We haven't broke one yet either.

If you want old school element bulbs I think you can get them in heavy duty severe service bulbs for drop lights and things. The led bulbs tend to have the electronics fail from overheating. The led lights save money and obviously you can get various color temperatures. We mostly use the 5k...

Watch for sales on weather stations at Costco as I bought my 2032 display and 5in1 from them about 14 for 80 bucks which was a good deal. I bet the 3in1 uses the same sensor but I haven't looked into it as I like all of the goodies the 5in1 comes with. Sometimes Acurite themselves have good...

I was told by a very experienced user that stations made after early 2012 used the new sensor, and after 2013 they used the plug and play version. If you have a early one that still uses the sensor but not the plug and play version and you know how to solder you can do like I did and cut the...

Could be low on freon too if it tries to fire the compressor and kicks back off. I don't know what type it uses but for cars you can buy the charge in a can things of 134a and if it is just low it will top the low side up and they cool again. That worked for my Neon till the compressor blew a...

Acurite has a web page, a Facebook page and there are a few user groups on Facebook and some weather geek web sites that cover just about any popular weather stations out there. As far as your display suddenly reads 99 percent humidity all the time the temp/humidity sensor has gone bad and if...

When I thought my IAC valve was bad on my 95 Neon coupe I bought a cheap new one on eBay and no difference at all. By the way it should mount on the throttle body about the middle somewhere if it is similar to the Neon setup. My symptoms were dying every time I rolled to a stop. No codes at all...

I remember that when we bought our demo Kenmore 28102 front load they included stainless steel hoses as part of the installation package and no extra for the hoses. Pretty sure they do last way longer and are less prone to just blowing open but I agree making you pay extra or refusing to install...
