Very nice, Paul, worth the trip!

Oh I would have tried if we'd had the time. The storm was on a Friday night and there was hope in the beginning that the line in our yard would be repaired quickly. Lots to think about in the moment, 1/4 acre of my yard covered in downed trees and branches, hole in the roof, water in the...

GE deserves a mention, they always made my heart flutter a little..

Hi George - can you cut the opening a bit larger for the new switch body to fit into?

When we had 90mph wind storm in July '21 and lost power for a week, the last thing I was concerned about was how to cook food. I had thrown out all of the refrigerator and freezer(s) contents on day 2 so there was almost nothing to cook. Given the scale of the storm and localized outages all...

Another classic film - thanks, Cory. I wish we could sign up for a "home trial" of these today.

  Life changing for sure.  Many of us found the original Yahoo! group in the late 90's when the internet was still dial-up.  There have been many changes over the years and this is another.  Congratulations, Robert, you deserve a break now.  Thank you.

    I remember a 70's KM model that was not a roto-rack, standard upper rack/shelf but it had a spray tube under it with slots instead of holes.  The slot-openings were meant to direct the water in a fixed spray under that upper rack.  Low-end, cheaper than a rotating arm.

  Good luck on your dishwasher, this is a fun one to work on - never saw a pump that tightly clogged.  Are your racks in good shape?   When my mother remarried in 1986, they bought a house with this same HP dishwasher.  Everyone in the house hated that machine except me, mediocre cleaning and...

    These films are so great, thanks for posting them and your hard work getting them transferred to digital.     I was a bit too young to experience any of the World's Fair excitement.  What a wondrous place.   You can barely make out a shiny, moving drum in the film at the washer/dryer...

  Poppy.  I sighed every time I opened a women's or shelter magazine and saw this color in an ad or a featured home.     Is the bucket removable?  

  Another gem, thanks Cory.    

    I saw this ad, glad you were able to grab the dryer, it's a nice one.

    Congrats, looks well-kept and there's almost no rust.  Nice find!  

  I found a good-sized stash of vintage Cascade at an estate sale some years ago, snapped it all up.  I brought a box to Arizona a couple of years ago so we could "christen" a never-used KA dishwasher at Roger's.  It smelled good and was free-flowing out of the box but it didn't dissolve in the...

  Really fun glimpse into the mid-century California shopping world.  Thanks for all your hard work, Cory, these are wonderful pieces of history.

  This is interesting, just saw a video of Mr. Mixer's a day or so ago about his going to pick this mixer haul up.  Have been following him for a while on social media, he's from Kansas and has built a good business repairing and selling KA mixers.  I'm sure he was fun to meet in person. ...

    These are good spots, I remember only a few KA commercials through the 70's & early 80's but they were rare.  KA had a high-end, quality  reputation like Maytag, one commercial touted this with "Next time, buy a KitchenAid."     Has anyone seen this model floating around?  Not sure I've...

  What a great leap forward in automation for the clothes dryer, the magic of electronics had made it to the laundry room.  I only remember a few people having the Maytag or WP/KM electronic sensor dryers, it was still a step-up feature for many.

    Excellent work, of course.  The APEX is saved again!
