Hey Guys! Been a while since I've posted here. I need some help! I have the above mentioned washer which is 33 years old. I have not used it on a daily basis like most people. I pretty much use it once a week and will do two loads at most, even though I can actually go for about two weeks...

Hey Guys! I have a 28 year old Whirlpool washer model LA7680XTN1 from 1992. I also have the matching Whirlpool dryer and both are in mint condition! Last week I had a Life Proof floating (100% virgin vinyl) floor put down in my laundry room. Today, I finally was able to move the washer and...

Hey Guys! Anyone here an iron collector, also? I have a Proctor Silex steam iron model I913L that will not steam no matter what I have tried to do, including using a solution of white vinegar and water to unclog it. It doesn't seem to be clogged and it doesn't appear to have been used very...

Hey Guys! What is the best way to clean a white Sunbeam Mixmaster that has discolored over the years? What is the best and safest way to whiten it without removing or damaging the paint? And, what is the CORRECT type of motor oil to use? I know there are oil ports on the head of the mixer and...

Hello Gentlemen! I am working on an idea with a fellow collector/enthusiast. Our idea is to host a small appliance convention for those who collect other appliances besides vacuum cleaners, washers, dryers, mixers, toasters, irons, fans, well, you get the idea! We could host it at a hotel with...

Hey Guys! Hope everyone is enjoying the summer months! I sure I am as it's my time of year! Do any of you fan collectors have a center medallion (I don't know if this is the proper name for it) for a Montgomery Wards metal oscillating fan for sale? This is a nice fan that has substantial...

Hey Guys! Just wondering if there is a no-nonsense Sewing Machine Collectors Club. I have searched hi and low and cannot seem to find one. ISMACS has lots of information but I don't see anything about a club. I am looking for a club similar to the Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Club and the...

Hey guys! Are they any sewing machine collectors here? I have been working on several Singers, particularly a model 328K. Does anyone know anything about this model? I have two of them and they are different. One has an on/off switch and the other one doesn't. And, I have seen a third version...

Help! Can someone tell me why my Amana bottom freezer refrigerator is leaking water every so often from the bottom right corner? It's about 18 years old and there are no kids going in and out of it constantly. It has been well taken care of. I did notice this morning that the bottom floor under...

Hey Guys! Is anyone here a member of WACEM? I think I am but it is not an easy site to navigate and I could use some help. I know I can log in, but I can't seem to post anything and I can't seem to get any help when I've asked. I have question also regarding this model 10 in terms of what is...

Can anyone tell me what exactly is this? I have an idea but I want to see if someone comes up with the same idea as my original hunch.

Hey Guys! I need some help with a GE pot belly percolator model 33P30. The percolator looks brand new, but the inside is worn to the point of showing what appears to be copper accents (?). Is this made out of copper? And, is it still safe to use or will one get copper poisoning? Can anyone...

Hey guys! Does anyone have a source for new mixer cords? Most of them are 17-gauge I believe. I could use a vacuum cleaner cord but I would prefer the smooth mixer cord style. I have not been able to find a company who sells them. Hardware stores sell replacement appliance cords which are...

I have a Hamilton Beach stand mixer model G--the "art-deco" looking model from the 30s or 40s (?). Can anyone tell me why on this particular machine, there are two black button screws on both sides of the mixer itself toward the bottom. They appear to be motor brush covers but in fact, they...

Can someone please help me find the thread that had a blender "recipe" or two of sorts to utilize the machine? I have searched high and low and cannot locate it. Alan, somehow I know you will be all over this! LOL Thanks! Louis

Hey Guys! I recently came across a Speed Queen wringer washer at a flea market. Now, it was very white, and it looked fairly new (?) which is was took me by surprise. Even the cord was modern, grey, and a three-wire type. Can I assume that Speed Queen, like Maytag, was still manufacturing...

My mom has a Kitchenaid Imperial (WaterSaver IV) dishwasher which was installed in the late 70's maybe even very early eighties. She has hardly used it over the years. Basically it was used around the holidays and even then, very sparingly. During the last few years, after she would finish...
