    That's a fun one to find, hurricane in a box.  Lucky to get the panels NIB as well, do you know why it was never installed?  

    All GE by this point, JCP had a long relationship with Hotpoint prior to (these) machines so GE had an "in".

    Bernina's Record series (7xx,8xx,9xx) were some of their best and still sought-after by many.   Bernina still supports these machines, though only through dealers for access to parts & service.  Like Miele, parts outside of the Bernina networks can be hard to come by and a few have been...

    The colder the better for good smelling sheets.  Did you use the blue or the lemon Wausau detergent?  :-)   I had to remove all the lines from our T-posts last year after a bad (90mph) windstorm brought down some branches last July.  One snapped one of the five lines so I took the rest...

Now that's a sweetie, and red!  

    With a house full of Gibson, Jill will be spending time waiting for repair techs and at the coin laundry, stamping out her cig butts in empty tuna can ashtrays.  

    We went to purchase a new washer to replace the 72 GE FF and a new dishwasher to replace the months-gone KM Roto-Rack in February 1981.  The store was clearing out the last of the center-dial models, mostly dryers by that point.  We bought a 110, BOL washer and a Maytag portable...

    I don't remember my grandmother's Tappan having the problems you describe, but it would have been only around ten + years old when I was a kid so it's very possible that it would have degraded as you describe with a decade or so more age.  Hers did have a pilot for the oven, don't recall...

      Mom's parents had a 30" model of this range, bought new in 62-63.  Theirs had a temp-controlled burner at the right-front, and slightly different knobs. The rear panel & clock were the same design, it stopped working so my grandfather removed it to store it on the workbench for a few...

    Not sure why a regular or short cycle won't work just as well for soft toys, etc. but building blocks?   When my son was young, I used a tight-mesh laundry bag and put them in the dishwasher, flipping the bag over mid-way through the cycle.   Spread on a towel to dry.     I use the short...

    If these were only closer....   lol    

    Glad to hear you weren't seriously injured in an accident.  How maddening that it took three weeks for the other driver's insurance company to get in touch with her, hopefully that will factor into her underwriting renewal decision, as well as the accident.     I read yesterday that New...

    Nice looking machine, Jon.  What do you think of the drying?  The fan-assisted "pro-dry" is only on a few of their models, should be a step up in performance.   I bought an 800 series Bosch (like Bob's) 10/20 and had an E-15 (water leak fault) 14 months later.  Took a while to find the...

The WP/KM self-cleaning filters get my vote as well.  During a 'remodel' of my 61 Mark XII, I had an extra self-cleaning cone filter from a 68 KM. I broke it open to get a look at the filter media and was surprised to see it was much cleaner than I expected it to be.     One of the most...

    That's very cool, so many buttons.  Here's a fun rabbit hole for vintage a/c's, yours appears to be from ~1968.   https://air-conditioner-man.tumblr.com/search/admiral

Nice save - and a pair!  I bought this washer used from a shop in the late 80's, fixed the wig-wag and washed in it for a long time.  Mine had the softener dispenser screwed onto the agitator post.  Great washer, well featured for a mid-line model.  I always liked that flatter, plastic timer knob.  

There was a study of these similar "Ionized water" laundry balls some time ago at University of Missouri, they found that plain tap water was as effective as the balls, though the addition of the silicone rubber balls to the load might improve the agitation action slightly from the thing being...
