Apologies if it has already been posted but saw a neat article about Speed Queen on MSN Money just now. Love the line "Washing machines probably aren’t what come to mind when you think of products with devoted cult followings." Little do THEY know. I just wish they made a front loading one...

Hello, I have watched "Dinner for Eight", the 1934 color film about the benefits of the modern electric kitchen (Love that Kitchen!). In the film, Mrs Mortimer simply turns a knob and the dishwashing is done. But, reading the manual for the G.E. Dishwasher of 1937, it was rather a manual...

my partner is rehabbing a house that had/has a serious mold problem. It has been fogged, but still after being in the basement working all day, he and his clothes positively reek of it. I made him shower and change before I would serve him dinner last night it was so bad. I washed them in the...

Question for the group. Has anyone heard of or know of a source for a roll out coat rack for a deep narrow closet? A friend had one in a 30s or 40s house and we would like to get one for our house. Tried searching on Google and didn't get very far. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Alan

Excellent Vintage ad... not sure when it is from, but I am guessing it is Pre WWII? Funny, or not so funny, aside... I am reading a novel called "The Good German" that deals with the US in Germany after WWII. In the book a comment was made about the background of one of the characters being...

Hi All, My trusty 10 year old Miele 1918 died this weekend. We did some checks working with Miele Tech Support and we think it is the power unit and the control unit. Wondering if anyone has a doner machines they would be willing to sell us the parts from. I think this machine is...

When I was a kid we had this before we redid the kitchen and got the built in Roper.  It had the coolest buttons and lights and made all sorts of sounds when the timer was advancing.   Anyone know any more about it?  Was a cool machine.  would love to see better photos of it or an owner's...
