Having been in the appliance industry in years past, I always pause at this time of year to read this very ribald post from the best of Craigslist called "You can buy a turkey fryer or you can..." Well, you will have to click on the link yourself just know that there are a lot of four letter...

At first I was just going to post the picture of the rare bird known as The Kenmore Kart but then I realized that both of these pages from Sears 1972 "Accessories for Mobile Homes and Recreational Vehicles" are worthwhile. That little Kenmore Kart was Sears answer to the wave of British and...

I am not going to be specific about how long it has been since I have washed my king sized bedding because I am a little embarrassed. I had a bad experience at the laundromat the last time, so I put it all off for quite a while. Just to be clear I am talking about the deep bedding; I change and...

Since we moved into our mobile home here, I must confess that I have been running washday like an oil barron. Replaced the temp control on my Kenmore with one that has a warm rinse option and have generally behaved like my house sits on top of a hot spring. No problem with sweet & clean with all...

No sooner did I get myself re-signed up around here, we got the call from Dennis' family that his older brother had a heart attack and would require an operation. We made a fast roadtrip to southern Minnesota. We stay at the younger brothers house. My brother-in-law Bradley ruined the old...

Hi Kids-It's been a while since I've been posting here and so decided to get back into the washer conversation and say hi to friends old and new. Decided to go back to my old handle of "partscounterman" even though it has been quite a while since I've sold appliance parts. It's hard to believe...

Hi Gang- I know you haven't heard much from me since I moved from Maui as we chose not to have a computer at home. We are now well settled in and would like to have some folks over. Would like to invite anyone who is interested to come over to play with my two compact washers on Saturday...

Hi Kids! The delivery boys came back today with a WORKING frog eye Kenmore dryer (electric). I had them put it in the shop, but I cannot keep it for a long time. The model of the machine is 110.5918500, serial # M514697. If anyone in the area is interested, please email me privately (I finally...

Hi Kids- Just a short note to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers as we traveled from Maui to Minnesota. Kittyboy did just fine on the airplane (he howled a little bit) and is back to his old sweet self. I started back at my job with Plaza TV & Appliance yesterday and it sure was good...

Well kids, this is it... Today we are having our sale of all the stuff we are NOT shipping to the mainland. I hope to be selling our two computers, so I will not be "seeing" any of you until we arrive in the Twin Cities sometime next weekend. Monday, we are flying to Phoenix. We will be spending...

Found this ad in the June, 1940 "The American Home" Magazine.

Of course you probably already know that AW people are some of the nicest people in the world-for example... When I announced recently that Dennis and I were moving back to our homeland of Minnesota, another member here emailed me privately. This person, who asked to remain on the downlow, was...

Well kids, the other day I was out at Maui Ocean Center, repairing a big Curtis Gemini coffee machine (a model 612-ild, if anybody cares...)in the Seascape Restaurant kitchen. Once I got done with my repair work, I always do a quick check of the area to make sure I'm not leaving any tools...

Greetings and "Aloha" as we enter the New Year. I wish my whole AW family much good health and happiness in this next year. I don't always have a lot to say, I don't chime in on every thread and every topic, but I am here most every day and I do love you all here. Since our vacation back to...

Dennis won some cool early to mid sixies "Trailer Topics" magazines off of *that all consuming auction website*. The 1963 issues have some advertisements that you all will enjoy looking at. First off is this early american offering of the Hoover spinner washer. I actually had one of these that...

Dennis just won this book off of flEabay. I thought I would share some highlights here. I think mobile homes are cool, even though they have a bad "rep".

I am sorry to see that others have lost pets this week. I am suffering from our own loss. Dennis and I just went on a trip to Minnesota to visit family/friends. We left our two cats at our house with a complete run of the house and yard. We arranged for a friend to come over everyday and feed...

I recently whined out loud here about my lack of vintage small appliances. My dear friend Veg-O-Matic heard my plea and took pity on me for having to drink coffee out of a soulless white plastic coffeemaker made by Chinese slave labor. In the short time we had the elcheapo Proctor-Silax drip...

For those of you who enjoy geological events, here is one to keep your eye on. Seems like the Big Island of Hawaii has been rockin' and rollin' for the past day. I have been watching my own homemade seismometer (two "likker" bottles on top my 'fridge) but there has been no action here on Maui...
