    Vintage Telephone Operator Intercept Messages

    The one I remember is rather long.  This would have been New Jersey Bell in the 1970s.  I will try my best to quote it from memory:   "The number you have dialed is either disconnected or is not assigned.  If you think you may have dialed incorrectly, please try again.  If you need help...

    ORANGE CAKE RECIPE

    I found a Mixmaster recipe for "Orange Delight Cake".  Is this the one you're looking for?

    Be a Good Mixer: Part Two

    For bread or large batches of cookie dough we use our Kitchenaid 600, but for cake batter I like my original unrestored Sunbeam Mixmaster model 5 circa 1939.  With the Sunbeam, I find it convenient that I can scrape the bowl while it's spinning.

    Do maytag A608 clean just as good as a direct drive Kenmore/Whirlpool ?

    The old Whirlpools had a spray rinse in the final spin so you wouldn't see any suds on the clothes caused by the neutral drain.

    Do maytag A608 clean just as good as a direct drive Kenmore/Whirlpool ?

    If you're wearing Wrangler jeans, an 18 gallon Maytag tub will wash 6 of them without breaking a sweat.

    Do maytag A608 clean just as good as a direct drive Kenmore/Whirlpool ?

    combo52 wrote: "Only four pairs of jeans?" "10 gallons of water for a pair of jeans is ridiculous" This is a small tub Maytag so it wouldn't be 10 gallons per pair. I suppose it depends on what type of jeans you wear. How many pair of heavy Carhardt jeans 36 X 34 would you wash in a small...

    Do maytag A608 clean just as good as a direct drive Kenmore/Whirlpool ?

    Put 4 pair of filthy jeans in the machine and I think you'll be impressed with the results.  The old 2-belt Maytag washers wash well, rinse well, and extract well.

    Sunbeam Appliance Center knobs

    I wonder if those knobs are the same as those found on an old clock radio.     http://renovatedradios.com/productlist.php?category=97

    Electric Cars are now Biting into Gasoline Sales

    My Soul is the base model, it was only $16,500 brand new.  Current value at 10 years old with 46,000 miles is about $8,000   How much is a 10 year old Nissan Leaf with tired batteries worth?   I'll keep my Soul until it's used up.  I drove my 1965 Rambler American daily until it was 45 years...

    Electric Cars are now Biting into Gasoline Sales

    For my 4 mile commute, an electic car just doesn't make financial sense.  My 2013 Kia Soul turns 10 years old this coming July, and only has 46,000 miles on it.  As I see it, the car is only half used up.  If it were an electric car it would be almost done at 10 years.

    In the 1930s, George Pal, of Puppetoon fame, made a few advertisments for Philips radio.

    HE Toploader Water Usage

    My good old Maytag A606 uses 40 gallons on large, and no extra rinse is necessary.  I suppose the Neptune would save hot water, but not much water overall.

    Maytag A612 lint issue

    Check the agitator for rough spots, and sand them out if needed.

    If you like 16mm film projectors

    Shy Guy (1947) I know there a quite a few fans of the TV show 'Bewitched' on this forum.  Here's a 16mm educational film with a 19 year old Dick York in the starring role.       I find it especially hillarious when it shows him in the basement working on old radios, because that's a hobby...

    If you like 16mm film projectors

    I have a 1952 Bell & Howell model 202 for my modest 16mm film collection.  These older models don't have that pesky worm gear that cracks from age.

    Maytag commercial

    I thought the Maytag 2-belt washers were the king of commercial top loaders.

    Electric Clock with mechanical chimes

    I believe that's a Telechron - Revere mechanism.  They sold a lot of mantle clocks with that motor / mechanism.
