I've lamented many times that I was destined to never own a vintage washer. Every time I was close to swinging some deal the seller would back out or I'd lose the auction or whatever. I never was able to find a match to my old Maytag dryer or my Versatronic dryer. Well, thanks to the very kind...

Ladies and Gentlemen of Earth. I am Klaatu. You are stupid earthings. Stupid stupid stupid. Behold I give you my creation, Gort!

Kevin, I have tried numerous times to respond to your email but it bounces back to me every time. Have you changed your email address? Anyway, you asked about any new Heywood Wakefield pieces that I have acquired. Well as a matter of fact, I spent yesterday setting up my latest piece. One of...

I was searching eBay for items of interest and I found this lamp that made me do a double-take. I thought I would share it with you guys and see if the same thought occurs to you...

I'm not sure if this set was posted here. I thought someone may be interested. Since I'm here, I have an opportunity to acquire a Maytag A206 washer. Does anyone have any info on this model? Would it be worth picking up? Years of manufacture, etc.? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks...

A gentleman contacted me to see if I was interested in his parents GE Versatronic Range. I have no use for it (why can't people contact me about a versatronic washer!?). His note is below. If you are interested, email me and I'll forward his email address to you. I am helping some family...

It seems that there are a number of people here that are fond of these portable Hoover washing machines. A guy at work said his neighbor had it in a yard sale last week end. Nobody bought it and he's still interested in selling it. Let me know if you have any interest. Supposedly it still works...

For a long time I have been trying to get my hands on an old Oster mixer. The Hamilton Beach mixers show up everywhere but it's very hard to find an old Oster. The Hamilton mixers are a kind of "jadite" green color but the Osters are more of a turquoise color and fit in nicely with other...

My apologies in advance if someone already posted this. It doesn't appear to match my Maytag Dryer so maybe someone else would like to snag this. Auction ends in less than 24 hours. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7610666432&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Go ahead Jenny. Don't be afraid. Climb into your new playhouse!

I'm not even going to go into the I-swore-off-buying-more-lamps routine. I acquired this turquoise monster yesterday. It is 34 inches tall and 39 inches wide. It's HUGE!!!

A Sears Coldspot, that is. It seems to be about a 1961 model. I can't tell you how minty this thing is. It's not like that Kelvinator from Hell.

These days it seems you can post a picture of anything, including a soda can and get a tremendously long thread. So here's a picture of my Tor Johnson mask. Created by Don Post from an original cast of Tor's face.

Since PeteK is not retired, every day is treasure hunting day. It's still a weekend activity for me. Last week I posted pictures of that crazy lamp I found. This past Sunday, I made a pretty good haul as well. Remember late last year I said that I had acquired every chair that I ever admired...

In case this wasn't posted before. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7581515682

I was privileged enough today to have the magnificent Veg-o-matic grace my abode and I have some pictures to prove it! I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that he didn't wear his Tab shirt, but it is winter, so I understand. Here he is in my living room. What is that strange hand...

Check out the turquoise Thermador oven and cooktop. I didn't realize that Thermador made built-in ovens. My cooktop is pretty much identical to the one in the auction except that mine is stainless steel. I'd love to swap it with this turquoise version, but it's pick-up only in Cali. Too bad...

Seasons Greetings to everyone in Applianceville. There’s a long story about the light below. I tried for quite a while to get my hands on it but it was “Not For Sale!”. But I won out in the end and purchased it about two years ago, but I didn’t have a place to hang it last year. But this year I...

I just wanted to throw up some pictures of my visit to NYC last weekend. On the left there is Versatronic. On the right is Toggle. And in the middle is a trinket I picked up in Chinatown. Check out the climate controlled baby buggy to the left. It was hobo-killing cold all day long.

I entered into an agreement to purchase the Radarange pictured below. For any Radarange fans here, if this thing were in pristine condition, worked perfectly and had all the original manuals, what would you think would be a fair price for me to pay for it? What's the going rate for Radaranges...
