I succumbed today to another baby grand. This one is an Aeolian Duo Art. I need to learn to play.

This is the Maytag set from Bloomington.  Ray came by today and helped get them inside.  They appear to be in great shape.  Ray popped the lid and lost the balls.  I have lots of parts on order.  I don't see any sign of the transmission leaking below.

Here are some better pictures of this beautiful fridge.  In spite of it running the meter, it's very nice.  I am not really sure why anyone advocating for vintage appliances would get hung up of energy use, whether that be water with washers or electric for refrigerators.   I got the worst of...

I was just doing my usual searching and found this. http://https//stlouis.craigslist.org/hsh/6053453108.html

I happened to see this article in our paper today.  I thought the other refrigerator dorks might like this. http://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/home-and-garden/check-out-that-fridge-affton-home-has-highlights-from-the/article_7161cf39-b5b7-5457-b169-a305427bef5e.html

I was bad and looked on ebay.  I noticed someone listed a few antique refrigerators.  I bid for sport and won, so I had to drive across the state to collect them.   Here they are dressed for Halloween.  I wonder what the other drivers thought.  The second is them before loading.  The third is...

I am listing this for a friend. He rescued this and has spent some time cleaning it and oiling evaporator fan motors. It runs, cools and defrosts fine. It's for sale for $200 and outside of Peoria IL.

I have seen other vintage appliances get assaulted by another era, but never like this.  I will admit that I have avocado. http://www.ebay.com/itm/252577245234?rmvSB=true

This isn't the largest model made, but the largest I have seen still around.  This is the smallest of the commercial sized models.  It was likely installed in a large home or possibly a store.

This looks very nice. http://stlouis.craigslist.org/atq/5681153816.html

I recently brought home this Norge because it was cheap and in very nice condition.  It also had a GE monitor top chiller tray with it.   The previous seller said it would run for awhile and then quit.  Sure enough, it did.  I caught it trying to start up, but it took three attempts.  I...

This is a larger Monitor top unit that was designed as an ice maker.  The unit uses a standard single door cabinet without shelves.  A friend of mine has had this stored for years.  Once uncrated, I powered it up.  It ran fine but no cooling.  I finally got the right person to my house with some...

I am coming to the realization that I would rather have my back room be a master bedroom than a warehouse. This is as-is and seems to be in good shape. The boot is intact and flexible. The soap dispenser gasket as looks good. There's some surface rust at the bottom sides inside. The bottom...

This old stove came to me as part of a refrigerator purchase.  It's odd.  The stove is white porcelain, but the legs are painted.  The legs had yellowed, but I had them painted.   I was told when I got it that it was owned by an aunt who never cooked.  It's in very nice shape.  The burners are...

I realize that I don't need three dishwashers in my kitchen, so this one is available.   This is in nearly new condition.  It appears to be all there.  There's a slight bit of surface rust on the bottom.  The machine is very clean above.  Only after seeing the stub of the water line, did I...

It's becoming clear to me that I like refrigerators a whole lot more than washing machines. I am selling off both a Frigidaire WO65 and a WO65-2. Neither have been restored. Both have some chips in porcelain. The WO65 has nicer chrome, but is missing the lower rubber agitator part. Asking $150

For some reason I have been looking at this piano for days.  It's got an Ampico reproducer.  I am fascinated by the details.  I did talk to a piano technician to be sure that it would be working before I die.

I have felt sorry for this for the past couple weeks.  I have always wanted to see how these work.  I am not sure yet if I will keep it long-term.  It's so new for me.   Pardon the disgusting interior.

A friend of mine let me know about this poor old fridge listed on ebay.  It's a 1931-32 model.  The unit was rebuilt in 1942.  It's not running at the moment.  At first look, there are many dirty contacts.  I am crossing my fingers since I don't need and scrap metal in my living room.
