My first set at my rental were cast-offs, a beat Whirlpool and some kind of antique dryer that eventually tried to catch fire, then we got a matched set of BOL buider grade Hot Points. They managed to last 10 years by luck and then I got a rebuilt DD Whirlpool and a Kenmore Dryer eventually when...

Well it should still be fairly common, just not as much as the pickup. I'm sure being a gm there should be tons of info and gm forums that can tell you what parts will interchange between the vans and pickups of similar vintage and body styles. I know for a Dart valiants, dusters, Darts from 67...

Well they made that body style for a few years as far as your pickup so I bet you can choose from and chevy pickup with a similar body and use the steering wheel from it. My Dart most of the parts from 67 to 76 when they stopped making them can be interchange or at least modified to fit easily...

Yep, the older cars didn't always get turn signals or self canceling, but by 50 I'd think most cars had simple signals. I only ever saw that one aftermarket upgrade turn signal system with self canceling on my buddies Dodge pickup. I bet it was much more expensive than others and the steering...

All I know is my water usage dropped significantly when I upgraded to my 28102 Kenmore and my clothes get clean. I needed to save money on my overpriced water bill and being much bigger capacity and quieter is a bonus. I agree too many folks have a automatic bias against anything new and look...

As far as wiring the aftermarket turn signal thing lots of old jeeps and power wagons and other old trucks got them back in the day so there should be basic instructions on how to wire one up out there somewhere. I bet Google would find some somebody has archived. My buddy had one in his 55...

The Tandy computers came with a excellent clicky keyboard too if you can find one today. I started with Radio Shack computers and loved their keyboards. The earlier ones had a full sized ps2 plug and the newer ones had a mini. I think I might still have one around but I use cordless keyboards...

Turned our forced air electric furnace on the 10th I think. Same here, no more heat gain during the day and it was getting to the low sixties in here. We have equal pay so it's about 124 a month year round and goes up or down each year depending on how severe the winter was. Last year it got...

I think for some sets as far as proper tint and color balance many owners didn't care that much, plus many cheap sets had sub par circuitry and really didn't resolve the color properly. I liked Zenith sets best, but many of the later sets did a good job as long as you spent some time tweaking...

4k sets If you want a cheap but great looking 4k hdr set look at the Hisense 55H8C and their bigger 65" version. They are dirt cheap, look great, and do HDR pretty well. TCL I think it is has a really nice P series bunch of sets with multi zone local dimming and HDR and is supposed to also look...

The reason many car radios had better reception back in the tube days is most used 262mhz if stages plus a tuned rf stage on the tuning capacitor. It made them much more sensitive and they had tighter tuning and close channel rejection so they picked up just the channel you were trying to hear...

Got my latest washer and dryer from them at their scratch and dent stores here, got great deals and they worked great. They probably will go like Radio Shack did, which also sucked. I loved their tools and always made a few runs a year looking for deals on things and the catalogs back in the day...

I used to fix old sets and sell them. I started when tubes still dominated the market and hybrid and solid state sets were just becoming comon new. My first HDTV was a Toshiba cinema series 34hfx84 CRT set I paid 1225 cash for in 2005. 34" screen, 160 lbs, beautiful picture, looked way better...

I think Radio Shack used to sell those as a Realistic rebrand but pretty sure the upper end models had 3 heads and all the better bells and whistles. I still have the last high end 3 head Denon deck I got at Costco probably in the mid to late 90s and it sounded great. The last gen of cassette...

I bought it I think in 13 after I got the first decent refund from buying my house in 12 I think. They are known for having the seal leak and take out the bearings early and quite a few models used the same shaft, bearings, and seals so figured might as well buy the complete kit for the next...

Parts showed up Well the kit showed up Thursday, now I just have to get the ambition to clear the area and pull the machine out or move it enough to do the repairs. The bearing are Chinese and it has a year warranty on the parts. The grease is just a bag of bulk black grease and the gasket...

Mom switched all of us over to whole wheat bread, bran, high fiber etc. It was hell at first as our bodies flushed themselves not used to all the fiber. I don't think we usually ate cheap store brand white bread, after that she bought whatever was cheaper and got a kitchen aide mixer and made...

Ordered the parts today Well decided to go with the full meal deal and got the shaft, bearings, and install tool for 119 shipped. I saw a few offers for renting the tool for 25 plus 69 shipping which would be refunded if you returned the tool, at least the shipping. I figure I like to keep my...

Thanks, I looked at a few videos too after posting and doing more part no searches and it looks easy enough. I can get a complete main shaft with the bearings and tool for about 118 shipped with a warranty. The old shaft is PROBABLY OK only being maybe 3 years old or so now but probably best to...

Well poked around once I found the part no's and I can buy JUST the bearings for around 20 and the whole replacement shaft and bearings kit for 50 up. If I do just the bearings I might need the bearing tool, if I get the whole package I think it's just a pull old out, put everything together on...
