Hey all, Been a while since we've been on but this post might be right up some folks' alley! We bought this cute but ever-so-cool homemade project and are looking to get it running. My guess is that the "power plant" would have been 2-3 D cell batteries and the capacitor array is a step up as...

For our New England friends, have you noticed that the usual special sales of chix lobsters hasn't happened this year? Usually it's during the height of the season, July-ish IIRC, and again for Labor Day weekend. This year the best I've seen between Price Chopper and Stop and Shop (always more...

Hey all, audiophile question time.   I have a mixing board with 8 ohm speaker outputs. I currently run an 8 ohm Bose and 8 ohm Peavey (both passive) on each side in that order from the board (board into the Bose then another cable from the Bose to the Peavey). Could I go from the board to an 8...

Hey all,   I've been having trouble locating the above part (used) except on eBay for almost $130. Does anyone have any suggestions for other places to search? The local salvage yard no longer sells used parts (what?????).   I've found a couple on eBay for almost $130 but that seems high...

So I finally got us an air fryer. It's a Gourmia 7qt that got very good reviews. I thought I'd try it out last night with the main reason for getting it... chicken wings!   The good news is that they came out great! Not quite like deep-fried but better than baked/broiled. Acceptable for this...

As you may remember, we rescued this unit from an estate sale months ago, and it seemd to cool well, but down to 10F at the bottom of the fridge unit. I tried recently to turn the temp to the warmest and try again, but it still cools to about 10F. Any ideas? I'm hoping there's a fix inside the...

Hey all,   So, this is a little embarrassing! We're taking out the cabinets on the wall of the kitchen where the Nutone is built-in, and I can't remember how these stabilizing brackets are released. Anyone remember?   Thanks in advance, Chuck

Who here "puts up" food, and what? I've been making refrigerator pickles the last few years and they last months and months in the fridge; half-sours, dill and bread/butter. Froze grape juice from the Concords last year. San Marzano and Roma tomatoes canned for winter use. Unfortunately I lost...

Hi all, We bought an old fountain base yesterday when picking up the rest of our pagoda roof tiles in ME (don't ask! LOL!). Oddly enough, or not, for those of you who know us, we had a fountain tucked into a dark corner of the driveway for maybe 10 years after rescuing it from the transfer...

May not be the right forum, but has anyone else heard of this? I didn't know it was a thing" 'till I saw the sign at Lowe's checkout. Chuck

Hi all, Has anyone had luck repairing cement? The bowl cracked maybe 10 years ago and I was able to repair it with an epoxy, then used a sealant on the crack (that's the crack you see going from about 3:00 - 7:00 in the photo). It's been fine since, until... I noticed it wasn't holding water...

Hey there, I'd appreciate a little help with this one as I've not worked with a 2-speed one before. When I plug it in, nothing; no noise, buzz... nothing. Obviously I'm gonna check voltage at the end of the supply cord, but after that? I'm guessing that I can check the switch using the black as...

Hey all, So we found this fridge at an estate sale where people were let in one at a time by appointment. The power cord was crispy-critters, so I'm replacing it with an 8' replacement 2-wire 16 ga. cord. Meanwhile, I realized that the wires to the compressor are also crispy, and the relay-end...

So, apparently there isn't a shortage of yeast- the packaging's the issue! https://slate.com/business/2020/04/yeast-shortage-supermarkets-coronavirus.html?utm_source=pocket-newtab

We're letting this one go reasonably as we can no longer use it with our new faucet configuration downstairs- we used it regularly during the years we've had it without issue. More details will follow, as well as pics as time permits*, but if anyone's interested immediately, let us know at...

So, I saw this on the heating oil receipt/bill that was left for us this morning; "...The heating oil included in this delivery contains a percentage of biofuel ranging from 5% up to 26% of the total gallons delivered. Biofuel is produced from organic feedstocks and can vary from typical...

Hey all, I just posted this d/w on CL, and Rich reminded me that someone here had expressed interest in it some time ago. Here's the link with pix: https://worcester.craigslist.org/app/d/southborough-portable-kitchen-aid/6967128361.html Thanks, Chuck

A question for the gurus- I have a Woods freezer available locally- model F15NAA. My question is whether this unit is frost-free or manual defrost. Based on what I see online it may be frost free, but the manual says some models come with a defrost drain. I've attached a pic of the data tag...

Hey all, I recently bought a new computer and am using it with my karaoke software. I have an HDMI output that I convert to VGA with a box. When I first got my Toshiba about 4 years ago, a setting had to be changed so that when I plugged the HDMI adapter in, the HDMI port didn't steal the audio...

Hey all, We celebrated a big Thanksgiving this past Sunday with a group and are having a small get-together today. I've cleaned the bones of the majority of the meat, cracked them up, and put them in the Instant Pot with water, seasoning, etc. My question is: How long do I pressure cook them...
