Clean that surface really well with a stainless brush and some elect contact cleaner then apply some mil spec type of JB Weld and let it sit a few days. Then drill and tap the hole. You could slide a snug fitting piece of heat shrink tubing over it and cut it flush to get the basic shape of the...

Pics sent, hope they are clear enough

I have a brand new in the OEM Maytag box a Kingston timer for an A407. The box says 204889 but I can faintly make out 204889-2 on the timer. I bought it for my 1974 A407 but that uses a Mallory timer which Ive since found a replacement. If interested its $50.00 plus shipping.

Fire suppression..... I think all kitchens should have an ABC fire extinguisher handy. And not some tiny Walmart one made in Shanghai. You dont have to have a gas stove to have a fire. Careless people not paying attention to their cooking and starting a fire no matter what the stove runs on...

Reply #8 What did they attribute that insane increase too? Thats a huge amount of money for NG back then. Here in over priced CT it was very cheap at that time.

Deadly gas stoves My whole family has cooked on gas stoves forever. My great grandparents lived into their early 80's, grandparents into THEIR early 80's as well, Dad till 92, and Mom is gonna be 92 on the 28th. They cant be too bad for you. I'd worry more about second hand smoke from people...

Sis just had her 275 gallon tank filled last week at $5.07 a gallon. It was $1394.25. SCREW THAT. Her boiler runs all year because it heats their hot water year round. My gas bill in Winter is $140.00 a month with forced hot air and around $45-$50 when the furnace isnt running. It would cost me...

Here in the Northeast most homes used to heat by oil and that has gradually changed the last 30 years with lots of people switching to natural gas when they replace their furnace/boiler. So demand is much higher here now. Home heating oil prices here at times are just too unstable as we are...

Long gone.. Even some of the replies on here are by people Ive never seen comment the few years Ive been here, and they had lots of comments under their belts at the time. I wonder why they left?

I'll echo what gsd-dan said. Pull that front cover and inspect. I recently had to scrap an A806 that was given to me that was in a damp basement near a shower stall all its life. It didnt look too bad outside but once I removed the cover it was filled with rust scale and corrosion everywhere...

I gotta disagree with that article. I think first place should go to the 1935 and later Monitor Tops that used Sulpher Dioxide. By 1935 GE had perfected the system for ultra long life and reliability. The Methyl Formate models suffered from build up of non condensible gasses that had to be bled...

Metal knob, plastic knob, white dial, metal dial, blue trim, gold trim, Kingston timer, Mallory timer, who cares as long as its got that Pitman job in it, put the pedal to the metal! LOL

The time is NOW To start looking for an older machine. They are still getting scrapped and tossed daily so the supply slowly is drying up. You'll want a very clean low mileage one for sure you can use many years with little to no issues. Thats gonna be hard to find unless you go 90's machine...

Having been stuck in a check out line at the store many times behind people that smell like anything from under arm B.O., lingering fart fumes, either alcohol or cigarette abuse or both sweating through their pores, to raw unkempt ass I can see how there are some people out there that not only...

Thank you. Im going for monoclonal antiviral infusion later today to hopefully beat it back.

Sorry for the late reply folks. Been battling COVID the last week solid. Still on the mend. I did try the hot wash with Dawn dish soap, then a warm second rinse with no softner just 1 cup white vinegar. Then followed by a hot wash as normal with Persil and warm rinse with fabric softener. It...

As far as cordless mowers go, do yourself a huge favor and splurge for the best one for longest battery life etc. Box store crap like Troy Bilts that are $400.00 get tossed in the trash when even one $150.00 battery fails outside warranty because they advise changing them both out. At that point...

I recently bought several pairs of Dickies relaxed fit denim painters pants. I guess you could call them stone washed. They had a funny smell thats a cross between a petroleum and Lestoil smell. Prob the chemical used to distress them. They're nice and comfortable but the problem is I've washed...

I’m watching a DVD set I bought of The Smith Family from 1971. One of the second seasons episodes has a scene that takes place in the kitchen as normal but for the first and maybe last time I saw the pantry and spotted a set of brown 806 series pair. The series lasted only 39 episodes and I can...

I use it for cleaning the bathroom or white laundry washes. For kitchen cleaning I've switched to grain alcohol because the fumes get to me after a while. Speaking of fumes, about 15 years ago a shop I worked at used Boraxo hand soap in the bathroom along with Dial liquid. One time I mixed the...
