    Wringer washer users out there .

    Hi guys Elisha’s post about searching for a usable wringer for his folks caused me to wonder how many here on the forum are using wringers exclusively? I recently had a breakdown of my automatic daily driver, and until I could get a part to fix it, I resorted to the faithful Maytag wringer...

    Vintage Mechanics Hand Soap recipe

    This recipe has hung on the one beams in the basement of my house..I’m guess over 80 years..based on my knowledge of the history. Over the years, I’ve watched the paper slowly deteriorate. I’ve thought about cutting the recipe in half and trying it out. Thought I’d share it here.

    Mid century appliances shown on Amazon series “THEM”

    Been watching “Them” on Amazon. It’s very well done and the plot is frightening/disturbing. For those here that are interested.. especially mid century modern kitchens of the time, check out “THEM” The cars are what initially caught my attention, then got hooked on the plot.

    Small 1940 electric motors by Black and Decker

    It was time to service these motors (I have three) so thought I'd share some pics. I was inspired by David after watching his repair of his 1926 Frididare. I paid special attention when he got to servicing the electric motor. I finally had to settle for carbon brushes that will work for them...
