A simple, “someone else contacted me first and it’s been sold, I’m sorry”  would have been sufficient.   Eddie

My maternal grandparents purchased a brand new track home in 1955 with a GE AEK and it had a turquoise GE wall oven just like this one, along with a GE stove top, DW and WD combo built into the cabinet next to the DW.     All the buyers in the neighborhood immediately had problems with the...

My recommendation would also be a GE Smooth Top.  Like Mike in reply #6 I’ve also owned GE electric stoves for the last 20 years, two coil tops and the  current smooth top and I’ve liked everyone of them, but the current smooth top with a self cleaning oven is hands down the best.  I’ve never...

Yeah, and they INSIST that you purchase a dryer installation kit for about $35.00 with that cheap ass foil vent tubing! Whatever happened to pride in workmanship? Eddie

Congratulations Justin, that’s a great score! I’m sure you’re gonna have fun getting it running again. Eddie

I remember using Easy Off in the glass jar with the handle attached to the lid. At least you didn’t have to breathe the fumes of the spray on Easy Off. Eddie

I’ve found from over 60 years of cooking that the ONLY way to keep a stove top clean is to wipe it down thoroughly with a cloth, hot water and soap EVERY time I cook on it. I keep a wet dish cloth by the stove while I’m cooking and wipe off the spills and splatters right away and then when I...

The gas stoves that I can recall from my childhood were all vented to the outside with a stove pipe and that’s maybe why we never suffered any ill effects from their use. Most modern gas stoves aren’t vented to the outside. The last gas stove I had was in the condo we lived in before moving to...

Well Tom you have a good point. From what I can remember about that TV episode the machine looked a lot like the Thor Auto Magic, so perhaps this is where the writers got the idea for that story line? Eddie

In 1972 I bought a Waring Blendor like the one in photos 3&4 of the OP thats in the middle of the three next to the gray plastic bottle. I paid $5.00 at the Salvation Army Thrift Store for this blendor and used it until 1987 when I sold it in a garage sale that David and I had in order to amass...

I can recall watching an episode of “Life With Elizabeth” Betty White’s first TV series in about 1955 in which her husband, I think his name was Brad had monkeyed around with their washing machine to also make it a dishwasher, because Elizabeth wanted a DW. They loaded it up with their dishes...

Ralph, As long as we’ve had area codes we’ve had to dial the area code to direct dial a number in another area code. My area code is 707, if you wanted to make a call to say Marin County which is area code 415 you’ve always had to dial at least the 415 area code first. The need to dial “1”...

We’ve had mandatory 10 digit dialing here for two or more years now. When I first moved to Petaluma, Calif. in 1970 all the prefixes in Petaluma were either 762 or 763 for the old POrter exchange. To make a local call then you only had to dial the last 5 digit's. So if I was calling the...

We got rid of At&T POTS over 10 years ago. I did the installation and back fed the VOIP thru the wall jack for the POTS jack near the gateway and disconnected the POTS line in the At&T service box on the outside of the house. This worked great until about six years ago and then the phones...

Glenn, thanks for posting this! And only a fool would bet that YKW won’t ignore this court order. It’s a given that he will NEVER follow the law on ANYTHING! Eddie

Re: Yellowed plastic knobs, I believe that I one read somewhere that applying hydrogen peroxide to yellowed plastic you could get rid of some or all of the yellowing. It’s a cheap, easy fix to try and shouldn’t harm the plastic in any way. Eddie

If I were going to have a Speed Queen FL this would be one of the models that would appeal to me. I like the old school analog controls, can’t tell from the photo but I believe this model also has a timer control for the cycles rather than electronic and that would also be a plus for me...

When I make a cocoanut cake I frost it with American buttercream frosting flavored with vanilla and I fold about 3/4 to 1 cup of finely chopped cocoanut into the frosting, then lightly sprinkle shredded cocoanut on the top. This way you get the taste of cocoanut in every single bite without...

“Orth” stands for “Orthophonic sound” a term coined by RCA in the early 20’s for the superior sound reproduction from their Victrola’s and records. I don’t know what Lon and S.Fil stand for. Eddie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Orthophonic_Victrola

I’ve been wearing Levi’s since I was a toddler. I can still see my Dad on his knees in front of me rolling up the cuffs on my stiff, new unwashed blue Levi’s with a Chesterfield hanging off of his lip. Mine and my little brother’s legs were so short that Dad had to cut some of the bottom of...
