Picked this Kenmore dryer up today from Craigslist, it’ll be living in my brothers laundry room. It is incredibly quiet and looks to have been well kept. Does anyone know the age of this dryer? This is the first time I’d seen a Kenmore/Whirlpool dryer with the lint screen in that location.

Hello all, Today in middle of cleaning I pulled out some duplicate saucepans to clean up and put with other wares for my brothers kitchen. This pan was one of my aunts 3qt Farberware pans, it appears to have been boiled dry or something, not sure how to go about reviving the interior of this...

I have a friend whose washer is nearing end of life. They are interested in a Speed Queen front loader pair, but the cost of them over other front loaders have them questioning if it’s worth the extra cost. I personally think it’s worth it, I have experience with the top loaders, and would like...

I have a late 70s Hotpoint 40” range with self cleaning oven. The clock and timer no longer work. My question is, am I still able to use the self-cleaning oven without the clock?

Last week I purchased this nice JCPenney VCR to replace the one I have that quit rewinding. Being an older model out of the 80s, it was a very heavy unit. The seller put it in a box full of paper and placed a piece of bubble wrap on top of it. Needless to say it arrived in pretty sad condition...

Getting ready for a cabbage roll dinner at church for tomorrow. Pulled out their early 60s KitchenAid K-5-A. I ended up finding the paddle is stuck on the shaft, and doesn’t budge when trying to remove it. Does anyone have any suggestions for trying to get the paddle off?

One of our church kitchen refrigerators has been acting up lately. It’s a True model T-35G refrigerator that is about 20 years old. It won’t drop below 45-50 degrees and runs constantly. Is there anything I could attempt to remedy this issue? Also with the age of the unit is it worth having...

Was flipping through a few issues of the magazine “The American Home” from 1953 Thought I’d share a few washer and dishwasher ads I saw from Speed Queen, Hamilton, GE, Crowley, KitchenAid, American Kitchens, and Westinghouse

It’s about time for mom to get a new dishwasher. She has the cheapest, most BOL model they sell at Lowe’s, it intermittently leakes and doesn’t perform the best. Also a the dishes come out with a coarse film on them. Not sure if it’s her hard water or the dishwasher. What are your suggestions...

Well, I’ve been on the search for another stove for several months now. I was tired of my yellow 1959 Liberator range, and the fluorescent light quit working, and the thermostat wires keep burning to the large oven thermostat. Tonight I picked up a 40” Hotpoint. It appears to be TOL with two...

Was looking at a 1952 Ranch home with my brother tonight. The Kitchen was remodeled at some point, and it had this 36” Hardwick stove in the kitchen along with a Nautilus hood. Just curious about the age of the Stove, and the quality of Hardwick. BTW the original 40” RCA Stove was in the...

Well it looks as the infamous southern mayonnaise, Duke’s had made its way north of the Mason-Dixon Line. It is now carried at both Giant Eagle and Shop n Save in the Pittsburgh region. I’m on my second jar of it. I find the taste to be delightful, and I like that it’s a nice heavy mayonnaise...

Well CorningWare is turning 60 years old this year. Much to my delight Corning has a nice array of 60th Anniversary special edition products. I started with the 3 piece mixing bowl set featuring the Cornflower Pattern. The bowls are 1, 1.5, and 2.75 qt, and they seem to be of similar material as...
