I've never had much of an issue with self-checkout lanes.  They've become more commonplace as the cost of wages has either increased or been threatened.   Home Depot rarely has more than two manned lanes open.  I try to use them, but when faced with a soccer mom with a cartload, I default to...

Hopefully, the person that got this will show up.  I do know that there are a number of members that are in the shadows.  Just a look around here will make some people wonder if they want to be involved or not.   I used to think Vacuumland was full of members of questionable tack.  Now it...

It's not just the increased load on the refrigerator.  Sometimes you wouldn't want the condensation that would result.

Louis,   You're absolutely right.  I tend to collect things from the late 1920's-WWII.  It's a shame to see so much of this stuff available and to few takers.   If you didn't grow up with or weren't exposed to this stuff you likely don't want it.  I can't wait to see someone try and restore...

I think I've seen that one before.  I sent an email to him and offered to buy parts of it.  Freon, lol.  That baby's so2 and stunk like hell.

That's an 11 cu ft cabinet with a wartime replacement FEA unit.  Where are the legs?

Phil, The vintage appliance collector market is tiny, especially for large appliances. I've done my best to mother over the monitor tops, but more escape me.

Paul,   The internet is a double edged sword.  It's because of it that we have easier access to vintage things.  It also gives sellers quick access to dealers of these things and plenty of misinformation.   I often get a chuck at antiqueappliances.com.  The reality is that the restoration of...

Very little value, but thanks for trying to save it.  Many would just toss it into a dumpster and be done with it.  I would post it and anything else you have on Craigslist.  You might find someone that has another or is doing a vintage kitchen.    

In my opinion, the later models with knobs were ugly.  I don't use a microwave.  I just wanted one to show that I have one.  You know, when a normal person comes in and comments that they couldn't live with a microwave.

I'll have to send you an RR4.

Ralph should want that.  He needs more chrome in his life.

Beautiful Westinghouse refrigerators.  There's no chance of them selling for those prices.

It's a good ruling.   The world needs less lawyers in general.  From what I see, the desire to have more for less is a universal human trait.

I went out and picked up all the boxes of piano rolls to go with this new piano. I spent the better part of the day annoying the neighborhood.

Sadly I won't be able to attend, but I've heard Duke is coming. That's all that this public forum will allow me to say. I hope someone takes video!

I will measure and get back to you.

The flat top units were all made in the 1940's to replace the older units.  That's an older cabinet with the wood breaker strips.  It would have had a DR3 unit like I have in the kitchen.   Flat top units run great, but lack the sex appeal of the round units.

Ken,   That's a 17 cu ft 3 dr cabinet circa 1928-30.   I'll post the link where it will get more attention.  I have had one of those once.  It felt like you were next to a bank safe.

Ralph,   I am betting it was an expensive and complex system.
