Tuttle & Kiff surface units.

Tappan's miserable attempt. The theory was that as a truck tire picks up and flings water, this rotating drum would do the same in two directions. Unfortunately, the drum in the dishwasher did not have tread like a truck tire. The drum did reverse directions and that was why there were detergent...

When the planned community of Greenbelt, Maryland was built in 1936 and then the defense housing in 1941, the kitchens were equipped with 21 inch electric ranges with three surface units. Thank God there was no natural gas service to the town which was in the middle of nowhere. Everyone cooked...

Beautiful machine. Are you going after it? If so, congratulations.

I have one of these ranges. It is 20 inches wide which can be proved by looking at the 24" GE next to it. The oven uses open coil heaters. A friend's mom had a collection of cookbooks and range manuals and one of the manuals was for a Pre-1950 Frigidaire range and I was intrigued by the heating...

I wonder if the newer one rinse machines have nylon coated racks because the nylon stands up better to the detergent rich environment in one rinse machines than the vinyl rack coating does.

Decades ago, I found a machine like this, although a built in model. It was out on the curb in front of a circa 1956 house on Reno Road in upper NW DC. I got someone to go with me and I put it in the back of my Toyota Celica. That beautiful timer lens was broken. I remembered it from the...

How to keep your racks from rusting When the machine drains after the main wash, it will fill with about a quart of water which it circulates to flush the filter. I kept my racks from rusting by standing by it with a 4 quart pitcher of hot water which I poured in as soon as the fill stopped...

That's a lot of money for something that old. I'm not saying it is not nice, just expensive.

Thanks, Cory The world was too busy fighting wars to realize most of these predictions. Notice how they do not show the washer-dryer combination. I wonder if the cooktop was induction.

I had a rug fatality and needed a new one. The 6' X 2' runner was priced $59.99, but when I got to the register, it was only 34.99. There were all kinds of Clearance signs in the part of the store I walked through.

If you spun out the load properly, like in a Unimatic which was the best extracting machine at the time, this was not horrible as a dryer-- a little hot on the regular setting, but not so fierce on the delicate setting which cut out the 1400 watt element. This machine was slightly more fool...

Your poor cookware looks like it was used over an open fire in a turd world country. Spray the outside with a good quality oven cleaner like Easy Off and let it sit for a few hours. Maybe if it did not look like hell, the heating element would not shy away from it.

That is a very generous offer.

My 1964ish GE clock radio had a little orange neon tube behind the clock face.

Why do you need this POS? Do you have a gas stove?

A wedding photo with a baby? That offends my delicate sensibilities.

Looks nice.

Thanks, Launderess I had about all the fun I could stand with my Duet. I like my Second Gen Speed Queen far better.

Thanks, Cory.
