    Bose buys McIntosh (audio equipment)

    Oh, I've seen many amp. and receiver repair videos. Mac, Accuphase, even in house plant service. Pioneer, Sony, Technics, Marantz, Sansui, etc.

    What’s your favourite washing machine cleaner?

    I do a load of whites with bleach before the clean cycle. I add a bit more for the clean cycle. Nothing else.

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    A neighbor never hand washes a dish! Of course now she is 81, so it took decades before she had the luxury.

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    More seniors using fewer dish and table wear, so they hand wash? New machine prices and budget limits?

    What's the deal with microwaves rusting so fast?

    Sears Kenmore Belt-drive Transmission Rebuild

    I think it was red oil. Is there a red gear oil? My dad was a Sears servicer so I can't imagine he threw caution to the wind. Maybe I confused red Ricon grease for the spin tube bearings with the gear oil. there was usually an opened up trans. rebuild mounted on his garage workbench. Seems thats...

Low end McMansion standard finishes. No thanks. My aunt had a 1940's grey and red accented tiled bath and had her cast...

    KELVINATOR KITCHEN CABINETS - $1000 (Kenosha)

    Matt, while I wasn't the one who really wanted a new kitchen, I'm glad we did it. The oak edged Formica tops were still nice, except behind the heavy Kohler cast iron sink where it was beginning to separate from the backsplash. While I was installing a new disposal in 1998, I dropped a pipe...

    KELVINATOR KITCHEN CABINETS - $1000 (Kenosha)

    Is Your Washing Machine Running?

    Call a grocery store and ask, do you have pigs feet? If yes, say then wear high button shoes so no one can see. If no, ask if they carry mountain oysters.

    Ward SIgnature version of electric Tappan Fabulous 400

    Signature Menu Magic ranges usually mirrored their Tappan equivalents. Gallery warming shelf and double oven series too. Wards sold a version of the warming shelf Gallery in a gas self cleaning model with an integral exhaust fan and electronic oven ignition. Big Lemon. I think every one was...

    When did Maytag start to go bad?

    Was the Neptune released to compete with the first Whirlpool Duet? Whirlpool sourced it from Bauknecht in Germany. Was it a market test before investing in a domestic design? Was Maytag trying to swim rather than sink amongst it's competitor?
