    Be a Good Mixer: Part Two

    KA Pro 600 in copper     Picked this up on Craigslist last fall.  Tore it all down, rebuilt, cleaned and cleaned.  It shined up like a new penny.  Yup, it's real copper(plating).  I lusted after these and the earlier Custom Metallic version so when it popped up, I jumped.

    Kiitchenaid Mixer Copper Insert Question

    Mine looks to be similar size, fits perfectly into my Hobart KA 5 qt. bowl-lift.  Whipping egg whites is magical in the copper bowl.  The best angel food cakes, ever.   I found a newer Pro 600 in Copper on CL a while back, swept away by the gleam, I figured I'd be less than happy with the...

    A Royal Restoration - Summer of Love Speed Queens!

        Another top-notch restoration. These machines are just stunning, I remember them as a kid at my mom's aunt's house - the lighted panels were breathtaking to a little washer-obsessed boy, surrounded by low-end GE and Maytag Highlanders. Congrats on a job very well done, your talents for...

    Picture Of The Day 2-26-2023

        The Super Fast dryer was a new introduction for 1956-57;  larger capacity, higher heating ratings (up to 8000W electric, 33,000 BTU gas) and nearly double the airflow of 200 Cu Ft/min.  This new model was the first of Bendix to require a 4" vent.   Previous "Fluff & Tumble" dryer models...

    Swedish kitchen adverts part 2

        Thanks, again, Louis.  Always enjoy seeing the kitchens and appliances from the day.  When I was in high school, I used to sit at the public library downtown paging through the home magazines from all over and was always excited to see the sleek European designs and modern rooms in...

    Kenmore refurbish

        Excellent work - they look great.  When paging through the pics, I got to #9 and did a double-take - wait, what??  Lol.  Love the green, I always like the black panels on this era of machines.

    What's the best cookware for coil element stoves?

      I've tried the Amway Queen, Wonder Ware (mom has a set of this she bought in '67) Montgomery Wards, Sears etc.   Ecko, West Bend & Regal made many of these in lots of variations for different sellers' brands.  Many will work on induction, but sensors on ranges vary so it can be hit and miss...

    Vintage GE Washing Machine - $30 (GP)

        My grandfather's sister, Rose, had this washer (in white).  She grew violets under lights in the basement so when visiting, we always had to take a tour.  This was the first GE FF I saw with the flume at 12 o'clock.  She also had a wringer washer (Maytag, I believe) and the GE saw little...

    Signature Smooth Top Range

        Looks like a gold KitchenAid? dishwasher is still there.    Range looks lightly used, usually the glass plates are discolored and/or stained.  I had a friend in high school that had a single oven Tappan slide-in version with this same cooktop.  They hated that range, slow and impossible...

    Welcoming A Westy!

        What a great find, congrats.  I've had a couple of Westy top loads, both newer than yours but they did an admirable job of cleaning and rinsing was accomplished with copious amounts of water in a long spray rinse and a (2nd) deep rinse.

    Vintage General Electric "Spin Drier"

    Blue Monday GE     I'd love it for just the agitator cap.

    Trading Stamps

        We had S&H Stamps around here, several stores participated.  Don't remember them being given automatically, the cashier usually asked if we wanted them.   I've found a few catalogs from S&H over the years, one of the POD with late 50's Westinghouse appliances was from one of these.    ...

    Digital Speed Queens

        A few TRs have shown up for sale around here as well.  One was on a farm in Iowa, I can't even imagine the never-ending washday disasters they must have endured.

    From the West Coast to the Midwest - a Bendix restoration

        A hat-tip to your fine work, Ben.  This looks like a new machine underneath and the control panel cover restoration is outstanding.

    Sears Best Kenmore dishwasher

        I took these pics in 2015 at John's, note the double element.

    Sears Best Kenmore dishwasher

    Genuine FOMOCO     This was at an estate sale down the block from us.  Banished to a corner of the basement workshop, missing lower rack.  This ghastly upper rack design has to earn at least a dishonorable mention in the D&M lineage.     Have had several through the years, still have a 74...

    POD

        The Power Shower sprayer is hidden by the plates in the rack, the water feed for the P/S spray meets the lid at the front of the machine, just to the left of the latch opening on the tank wall.  The ad copy mentions the 3rd level, lower end models didn't have the plumbing for it although I...
