Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. As you may have already seen, I picked up a 1989 G.E. Filter Flo for the collection a couple of days ago. One of the main things wrong with it is that it leaks water through a round hole (which I can only assume is an oil port) in the pump. I’ve plugged the...

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all well. Back in December, I was contacted by a family friend who was getting rid of his 1989 G.E. Filter Flo, and wanted to know if I wanted it. Of course, I replied with the only answer that there is to that question, yes. Fast forward to today, when I got the...

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all well. As some of you may know, about a year ago, I took in a BOL 1984 G.E. Mark 27 range that was fixing to be scrapped following a kitchen remodel. Tonight, while I was baking with it, the 41 year old door gasket got damaged, and needs replacing. This model...

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. I had a couple of king size comforters to wash, and the Speed Queen 8 series isn’t big enough for that task, so I’m at the Mr. Suds laundromat off of Southland drive. The washers aren’t anything too special; mostly Wascomat, with a few Dexters, Alliance...

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all well. I was scrolling through marketplace the other day, and saw yet another KDS-21! It appears to be a pretty strange machine, too. It has the newer style writing on the control panel (superba classic 21, sure temp water heating, and light/china), which...

Hey everyone! Hope you are all are well. I’m hopefully not too far off on starting the restoration work on my Hobart KitchenAid KDS-21, and I’ve been thinking about what all I want to do to it while I’ve got it so far apart. The main things I’m thinking of are adding a constant rinse arm from...

Hey everyone! Hope you are all well. I’ve read on here in the past that modern enzyme based detergents are just about worthless in these classic DW’s. I currently have a NOS box of phosphate based Cascade from 2008, so I should be good for a while, but I’d like to find a more permanent...

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. I was scrolling through marketplace, and just saw this Imperial Selectra 21 dishwasher. I know that the electronics on these didn’t survive well, and that as such, they are extremely rare, so I figured it was worth posting about here. Thatwasherguy...

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. A couple of days ago, I was scrolling through Facebook Marketplace, and saw something that nearly made my heart stop; a Hobart-built KitchenAid KDS-21! I have wanted one of these for at least 6 years, so I was extremely happy to have finally found one ‘in...

Hey everyone, hope you are all well. I was given a 1988 Kenmore dryer yesterday, and it is absolutely shot. The drum rollers are bad, the timer is bad, the paint on the inside of the drum is peeling, and it’s got a ton of little dings absolutely everywhere on the exterior paint job. I was...

Hi everyone! Hope you’re doing as good as I am today. I went to buy something on marketplace today, and the house that it was in had a gorgeous early 60’s roper double wall oven in coppertone, along with a vintage NuTone range hood. The couple told me that they recently sold the home to a...

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well. At work yesterday, a scrap truck came by to pick up some junk and drop off a washer (I think you already know where this is going, so I’ll cut to the chase). The guy was fixing to junk a 1998 WCI Frigidaire 5000 BTU window A/C and turquoise 1960’s Singer...

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well. I'm very excited to share with you all my latest treasure; another vintage fridge for the collection. I'm going to let you all guess at what it is by the pictures. I'll give you a hint; it's much newer than it looks like. Thatwasherguy.

Hi everyone! Hope you’ve had fun over the holidays. I’ve currently got a very sad 2003 Maytag Atlantis sitting in my garage. It still runs, but very poorly. It has a groan and clunk that comes and goes during agitation, and agitated during the spin cycle. Right about the time it gets up to...

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well. We just tried a new recipe to go with dinner tonight. It's very simple to prepare. You just use the magnet on the back of your digital meat thermometer to stick it to the bottom of the pan you're cooking with, and stick it in the oven at 425 until the...

Hi everyone! Hope you are well. I just came across this listing for a beautiful turquoise Westinghouse hand mixer. I have found that Westinghouse mixers of this style can be quite elusive, especially in colors (I spent three years searching before I found a pink one), so I figured it was...

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well. I was browsing Ebay the other day, and found a listing for this 60’s-era Westinghouse hand mixer. I already have two others of this design in the collection, but both are different colors, and neither were this complete, so considering that it’s price was...

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. As you may know, I recently acquired a 1984 GE mark 27 range, which has put me one step closer to having a complete house of vintage major appliances. The last thing I need to complete this is a dishwasher. I’ve finally got the space to store one, so I’m...

Hey everyone! Hope you are all well. As you may have seen in a previous thread, I acquired a 1984 G.E. Mark 27 drop-in range from a cousin’s kitchen remodel. I’ve had the chance to use it some, and have found that I really like it. The only things I don’t like are the lack of a self cleaning...

Hey everyone! Hope you are all well. I recently learned that a family member is remodeling their kitchen, and has saved for me their old stove, which is a beautiful 1996 G.E. Mark 27 drop-in. I am told that one of the surface units is out on it, but that’s nothing I can’t fix. I was doing...
