Could possibly have been the negative vibes earlier last month but in any case the Flair went down on Easter Sunday. Thank God it went thru dinner that day and then decided to take a crap. The back two burners won't heat anymore. I assumed a bad safety disconnect switch and proceeded to read...

A friend called me the other day and asked me if I was still collecting old automatics and if so, would I like a few more. Well, what do you think I said to him? He said he guessed these were quite old and that he was sure I would like them. Imagine my surprise when his truck pulled up and I...

I'm asking if anyone has any idea/s as to how I would attempt to "snap" this portion of the bakelite base on this Sunbeam mixer back into place without causing further fracturing. I have already tried with my thumbs to push it back into place but it won't budge and because I didn't want to cause...

I will be picking up my "new" Easy Spindrier tomorrow and it will be at least a 2 hour ride back home before it is unloaded. I am wondering IF it can ride those two hours on its back--in other words not standing straight up, without harming any of the mechanical components and not having any oil...

I want so badly to save the Frigidaire Flair range that came in the l962 completely unmolested mid century home I just bought last month. Both ovens work, all the lights work but the four burners don't and neither does the clock, (btw, the clock isn't a biggie at this time). I know not a...

I'm at wits end out here with one of my washers! I have been trying for quite a period of time to get my Kenmore bolt down up and running and it has been fighting me every step of the way. Please, does someone out there have repair information for this early Sears 1952 machine and answering...

....I get around to telling all of you of some of my recent (within the last year) washer/dryer acquisitions starting with the most noteworthy and greatest one of all--- My 1952 brand spanking new Kenmore "Frogeye" Look at the pic-It didn't have any feet on it

I've been working on this project since the latter part of August and arriving home yesterday from a trip to central California to pick up the washer has brought it all together. I've got my work cut out for me but I've set my B-day which is in a couple of weeks as the deadline to have them...

.....and running like a top! Silly me, I thought I'd just go out there, plug 'er in and she'd take off. Was I ever wrong! Anyways, I wrestled with her one day last week and then today we got her into the washroom and hooked her up. She now runs great and ever so quiet. I plan to make and post a...

Looky what dear ole' Santa brought me for Xmas. It is so close to my "dream machine" which is a 58 Lady Kenmore that it will be absolutely peeerrrfect and a total match to my 58 Cycla Fabric Four Star dryer. I am so jazzed on Xmas day. The 25 pounder is already in the oven, the pies and...

...and my very first attempt at a video movie to boot! I still don't know exactly what I did but it's up on Google nonetheless. It's a little fuzzy but I'll learn. If anyone out there has a pointer or two to shoot my way about making these movies, I'd be most appreciative. ((--:: The load...

There were literally minutes left when I stopped at one of my old "haunts" Thursday afternoon and saved this wonderful old Maytag from being trashed. Literally minutes! Was it my "sixth" sense that drew me to this place that afternoon or can I just "smell" out old washers that are in distress...

Hi everyone! Finally, after much much time and many, many mistakes I, ("Mr. No Mechanical Ability At All")have completely revamped this wonderful 56 Cycla Fabric Deluxe Kenmore. It runs beautifully including the suds saver and germicidal bulb so kindly contribuited by Rich. Because I'm not a...

to express my most sincere and warmest thanks to three great guys--Roger, Ross and Nate for a most wonderful weekend. Your three went totally out of your way to host a fabulous wash-in for us all. Your machines are out of sight--Roger, your Blackstone kicks butt, and Ross, I wanted to load your...

First of all my congrats go out to DADoES for his great find! Man, that is one good lookin' Frigidaire. Here's to many happy hours of watching it go thru its paces with load after load. Just a year ago I had but a handful of washers. Now my collection has increased a bit and I plan to keep on...
