Hello folks, Last February I replaced my BOSCH washer and dryer with a basic SQ washer and dryer. I love them. The drum light went out in my dryer. I can not find any instructions in my iwner's manual or on line detailing how to change the bulb. I found plenty of instructions for changing...

I've been reading these posts about automatic roasters.  My wife and I have seriously considered purchasing one.  Would one of the automatic roasters be good for roasting a rib roast in?  Thank you.  Jim 

Does anyone remember when JCPenney stopped offering and selling electronics and major appliances?  I remember just before JCP moved to Haywood Mall in 1978 looking at appliances, electronics, and furniture on the basement floor of their Main Street store.  I can't honestly remember if they still...

In the movie "The Birds" in the two kitchen scenes of Lydia Brenner's kitchen I noticed both her stove and dishwasher were avocado.  I never saw her refrigerator.   The stove was a Roper Epicure gas range and the dishwasher (not sure of the manufacturer) had a huge dial which was 1/2 white and...

My friend Andy and I have been chatting and he was asking the name of another store similar to Western Auto.  It took me a minute to think but I remembered the name Otasco.  We would see advertisiments on the television for Otasco but there were no Otasco stores near us.  In fact, I have never...

As I was leaving for lunch today my eye caught an estate sale sign so you know where I had lunch!  Anyway, while there I found something I have been wanting for years - a brownwear bean pot.  It was in perfect condition but unfortunately said pot was missing it's lid.  It was not a McCoy pot but...

My question is about the attractive lady in today's Kenmore washer and dryer picture.  I keep going back to this picture and looking at it over and over.  That lady looks familiar.  Is she someone famous or does she just remind me of someone?  Does she look like someone famous to anyone else...

Just a few moments ago I was reading the new posts to Ultramatic's Vintage Appliance Advertisements: Part 9 concerning Revere Wear.  And may I say I have truly enjoyed that thread!  Anyway, in my post about my older Revere Wear I mentioned finding some abused Revere Wear at thrift stores.  I am...

I'll bet you couldn't touch folks who bought that Westinghouse with the "computer"! 

Does anyone out there have a quick lemon glaze recipe I can use on Ultramatic's Lemon Pound Cake?  I love the Lemon Loaf cake and it's icing at Starbucks and would love a similar lemon glaze recipe. Thank you, Jim 

I had been eyeing the Martha Stewart all natural fabric softener in the large pump bottle at my local Publix Market for some time now.  The $12.00 price tag prohibited me from trying it, however.  Last Saturday when I was in my Publix Market I found all the Martha Stewart fabric softener on the...

That Wizard Imperial washer looks like it did everything but load itself!  Only $10.00 down and $3.25 a week too!  Western Auto.  Good times.  Good memories.

Man... that is one fine-looking washer!  The washing machine, not the lady!   

When laundering towels do you use fabric softener in the final rinse or not? I do not. I hate a "slimy-slick" towel that does nothing but spread the water around when you're trying to dry off. I know a lot of folks who love using fabric softener on their towels and claim they hate a stiff...

Do any of ya'll (I refuse to say you guys) shop at Trader Joe's? My wife has a lot of allergies and for years we would shop at Garner's in Greenville and make an occasional Saturday trip to Atlanta to shop at Harry's. I had heard of Trader Joe's via another board I used to frequent then a few...

Although I tend to be handy with a hammer and saw I am not ... and never have been a mechanic. Many of you all are seem to have very express opinions concerning belt drive or direct drive washers. I realize belt drives have a belt and the direct drives do not. Could someone please explain the...

Lately I've noticed when I remove laundry from my 2007 BOSCH Nexxt Premium dryer there is a lot of lint around the inside door front. When I pull laundry out of the dryer this lint gets on my dried laundry. The lint filter which is in the front of the dryer is no more full of lint than before...

When my 15 year old Whirlpool electric low-boy hot water heater goes out I'm considering replacing it with a gas tankless hot water heating system.  Several years a representative from our gas company came out and discouraged me from going tankless.  However, a friend of mine who is a plumber...

My dad was a carpenter. Growing up I would often accompany him to all the little family owned hardware stores and lumber yards around Greenville and nearby towns. I was fascinated by all of them. My wife's father was a finish carpenter who did the most beautiful cabinet and trim work I've...

Is it me or have any of you folks noticed that all Sears stores, even the scratch and dent and local appliance outlets have that distinct Sears smell? Every Sears I've ever been in from Greenville to Virginia to Mississippi all have that familiar Sears smell. Is that some kind of air freshner...
