I tried to search on the site for this video to see whether someone had already posted the link, but I did not find it. Video appears to be an internal promotional video for 1957 Imperial Sheer Look appliances.

I bought it on eBay several years ago. At that time, it was discussed in a Usenet group in which I participated. They had suggestions about what it could be but nobody was certain. I had occasion to move it from one closet to another recently and so I decided to have another try at identifying...
An online friend of mine in England has the washer named above. He complains that it takes *minutes* to unlatch the door after the cycle completes. I wonder whether any of you are familiar with this machine and could opine on whether that is normal behaviour or indicates some malfunction?
Some photos about a local appliance restorer.

A guy at work has one of these. I had no idea that such products were available. He has a 40-mile roundtrip commute (such distances are common here in Tucson) which is less than the 60-mile range claimed for a charge, but he keeps it plugged in while working in case he needs to go somewhere else...
I recently drove from Tucson to SE Missouri and back again. I listened to right-wing talk radio for a lot of the journey. One point that I heard that seems to be correct is that the profit margins enjoyed by oil companies have not seen large increases, but that the quantity of product sold has...
The recent thread started over the Norelco drip coffee maker with the basket that fit on top of the pot rather than being attached to the frame of the device reminded me of this relic of the 70's which has been resting in the closet since the 80's. This coffee maker had an interior metal...
A house I pass by every day has had one of those big, old, squared-off Lincoln cars parked out front for sale. This is just the sort that appeals to a lot of you based on previous threads. The price advertised was $1400.
Now yesterday afternoon a violent summer thunderstorm blew through here...
In a field in Michigan in 1973. For the last 29 years it has sat in my carport in Tucson, covered with a piece of particle board and used as a table. I cannot recall ever reading a post that referenced tubs such as these. Are they of any interest to collectors/restorers?
I heard a few moments ago that Peter Boyle had died. While some of you remember him as Frank Barone in that show he was on for so long, and others as Frankenstein (Puttin' On the Ritz), I remember him from a movie 40 years ago called "Joe". He scared the s**t out of me then.
This was found in my Father's barn-sized garage. I sent photos to Robert thinking it was a pump from the GE AW6, but it was not. Can anyone identify this thing?
GE cross-eyed front loader. (Adora?)

Right away I have a dilemma. There are three round filters between the bag and the baffle within the canister. The question is regarding the correct order of assembly. The exploded-view diagram in the manual shows baffle:hepa:microbe:carbon:bag, while the prose description a couple of pages...
The gesture, I mean. I have seen various member photos with people doing this.
