I looked at '30s-40s SQs and they were way different. Looked over a bunch of pics of other wringers and only one was kind of similar but had no info-someone had cut part of the skirt out to clobber in a B&S gas engine...

certain features kinda remind me of SpeedQueen,but i am not familiar with SQ wringers...Get some "up the kilt" pics showing the machinery underneath and if practical,motor spec plate-motor may have mfg. date and if original close to date of the washer. Looks 1940s

so far i have had good service from all my Li -ion batts,some are over 12yrs old- Stihl, DeWalt, Have been great.I got a Chinese motorized yard cart that came with two batts and they cell type instead of LiPo foil packet type that i thought they might be.I do practice proper fire potential...

8-88 built date on the subject fridge

You probably have seen the Youtube video of a Honda Pilot "running away"from a teenage driver-apparently car would not let driver switch off ignition or shift to neutral...I do not know if a Honda Pilot has vacume brake boost,but i suppose brake assist could be reduced if engine at full throttle...

Still running my Stihl RMA 370 and bought a 2nd one on Ebay recently-the little aluminum cog pulley on my first mower wore out and belt started skipping over-2nd mower is far lower usage and going strong. I tightened belt tight on original mower and mostly stopped the belt skipping problem. I am...

Those very early Mustangs still used a generator instead of alternator of '65 models :)

Watched the video on Youtube-that e-Mustang clobbered that other car real bad once the Mustag got past the concrete divider that was guiding it. I looked at an electric converted 1990 Geo Metro about 20 yrs ago and the emergency cutoff was an Anderson connector hooked to the E-brake pedal...

white and blue fastback,289 2v 4 spd. Teenager evaluating first car choices :) Car ran pretty decent with that distinctive small block Ford sound with the little skip in the exhaust note.Base v8 with 2 barrel and power robbing rigid fan, no ball of fire but stickshift and only about 3000 lbs...

I think my Neptune 3000 is like that-mechanical timer controlled by a PC board.

Welcome in Brad-there are a few other graybeards on here :) .I started shortwave listening about 1981 with a ~1938 Sears silvertone 3 band radio(I still have it,needs repair) Filter flo washers are very easy to work on,but seems some important service parts have become scarce lately... I would...

24" DDs really rock,much more capacity than a 24"BD-i have 3 : '84 black panel,a '95 Capri one knob,and a portable i just got and don't know anything about. The '84 needs centerpost bearing repair,but that '95 Capri is in good order.

Nice-probably got hot with those C7s,so LED a nice conversion.I had a company logo wall clock With a 15w florescent tube that kept burning out-must have had wrong ballast-and fixed that one with LED conversion.

Oh yeah,that is one cool clock-especially since it is lighted-nice save too! I was in a USAF air traffic control center in '82 and there were 24hr school size clocks that had EL panel lit faces in that blue-green color-Ihave tried to identify, find and buy these clocks with no luck...The...

Was given a Sears combo yesterday-1985,so a little out of thread timeframe and mid-80s style: cube shape,dual cassette,equalizer,slide controls for everything.Interesting part is it said "BSR" on the turntable-on top and on red sticker under-Taiwan made after "real" BSR went belly-up,Total BPC...

AC current motor driven mechanical clocks. I have gathered a decent collection of these over the years,a few are from the '30s and need a spin to start the synchronous motor. Lots of different motor designs and brands before the '90s. Telechron started in the '30s and went to about 1993. I...

Found on a forum where it was said Russia quit exporting tubes to countries that have export restrictions to them...

Found this old post and bumped it up :)

I have a '59 Zenith Stereo,not sure model-has 12" woofer in console and two satellite speakers with 6x9s

Anybody know which countries/companies still make tubes? 30 years ago(when I had a lot of active tube gear) I had sources selling new tubes from Russia,Yugoslavia,czech republic,China and NOS '80s military production GE,Tung-sol,Sylvania. Radio Shack could get tubes also-seemed a mix of...
