Emerson fans in general Right up to the early 50's were built like tanks. I think Emerson was just about the last fan company to stick with cast iron while the rest switched to pot metal or stampings. The AP-G govt issue fans qsd-dan mentioned are all I run from May till Sept on a 24/7 basis...

Gearbox removal Is very easy on that fan. Remove the screw holding the arm to the adjuster wheel under the gear box. Then the three slotted screws holding the gear box to the back of the motor and just slide it off. Turn the gear box upside down and theres a few small slotted machine screws...

Figured I’d post this here in case someone wanted to save this. My friend does architectural salvage and has this available for sale I’m assuming here in CT. His Instagram page is Urbanminers if you want to check it out and contact him. Or urbanminers.com. He has it listed as mid century...

I have some misc parts I took off a 1964 500A years ago. Mallory timer, temp control assy, washer action assy, and pressure switch assy. This washer was working until the start winding burned out in the motor and my friend let it sit a few years with water in the tub thus rusting it. I'd like to...

I would have told her " Well Im here right now with the $125 for it take it or leave it ". She prob would have took it and burned Missouri seeing as how she burned you on it

My good friend needs to replace his 5 year old washer thats dead. I saw somewhere here that Speed Queen still makes a top loader with an old school agitator and trans thats built pretty well? Hes looking for something thats going to wash clothes like our trusted old school machines, isnt worried...

Ive been using the Pro Clean several years and love it. Cleans my dirty work clothes great. Although it tends to suds lock the A407 if I over dose it.

Not sure if any members here in New England like myself listen to WCBS 880 news radio in NY, but its going off the air in a few days after 60 years. Audacy bought the parent company and shut them down. It will get new call letters and be an ESPN station now. I've listened to their news, traffic...

Never Seize Man that shitte is brutal. I dont care how careful I am with it, how little I use,  or how much I wipe the bottle off the stuff is everywhere. Its just like working with pizza dough. It'll drive you crazy at times and can sense fear.

Many years ago I started out with Liquid Wrench I bought at the auto parts store. It worked well I thought until I started working in the truck/trailer industry and we had a Ryder Truck Rental shop around the corner. One day a tech brought me over some Howes penetrating oil in a pump sprayer...

3 in 1 oil If you decide to use that oil make sure you buy the blue bottle for electric motors. The more common red bottle is different stuff.

Frozen can have as much salt as canned or more depending on what you buy. On top of all the preservatives and chemicals. Once in a while I'll buy a Healthy Choice beef merlot frozen dinner but its rare. I try to eat fresh and Ive gone from 3 blood pressure pills a day to one and dropped from...

I remember my parents had a WP washer like that in the early 70's. It was a heavy chrome thing with bristles on it the water flowed through and it had a sight glass on it on the middle so you could see the flow. It just lifted right out to clean then you pushed it back in.

I have a whole agitator with that filter. It came out of a 1964 A500 machine. Lost it for a while in the garage but found it a few weeks ago. I actually was able to save the agitator on the rusted shaft without having to shatter it. I just drilled a 1/2" hole in the top and sprayed Kroil into...

Stan You need a 1930's General Electric 2H08 Garcon clock in black in place of that modern round one.

Its a lot of work, but Im sure a machinist could press that bushing out and make a new one out of bronze and press it in, They could also turn that section of the shaft down if they had to make the I.D of the bushing over sized. Then they could make a bushing for the gear as well and cross drill...

I have a daily 1985 Magic Chef microwave that works great although I think its going to need a magnetron soon because I smell something hot and electrical after 10 minutes use. Im on the hunt for one as we speak. My question is though that the paint or coating inside the cooking area at the top...

I listen daily to WATX 1220 AM. They play all the classics from many decades. Its station is here in town plus they stream live online as well. Back in the 70's I loved listening to the CBS radio mystery theater with E.G.Marshall. I still listen every night to get me to sleep.

Congrats on your success! I would take the pitman apart and rebuild it to install back in at a later date with its original agitator. The simplicity and robustness of them is legendary. As for the gas hook up, is that to code?

Owning a home obviously is not for the faint of heart. You have to deal with the constant cost of it whether high taxes or maintenance, etc. The other huge issue is if you buy when the market is way over priced like it is now and the market crashes like its done before and you're paying on a...
