So I stumbled upon this post again and it appears a Simpson wringer washer in today’s money would actually cost more than a Miele ,So that would be at least $2517 for a wringer washer in today’s money

Reply 53: A furniture-style double oven in the living room? Would have loved to be at the product development meeting when a brave soul made the marketing pitch for this one, lol.

Sure Frig.,
fine furniture grade kitchen cabinets were possibly the advertizing account company's thinking. Many kitchens nare visible from the entertaining space too.

That's EXACTLY the set-up we had in our house in Tacoma, WA! My Mother loved them! And I miss them! The cable for the cooktop to hood connection was routed through the back of the cooktop/hood with a slim cutout panel in the closet behind the cooktop area. Made replacement easy. Too bad I had to! But my Mother had them re-painted and the paint did not hold. I was sad tp replace them along with the pull-out Power Shower dishwasher. Greg

I remember when transistor radios like this first came out. They were considered to be an expensive item.
When I compare the $29.95 cost to what I earned at my first full time 40 hr. a wk job in 1970 it would have been a luxury purchase. I earned $50.00 gross per week, after payroll deductions for tax, FICA and DIB my net weekly income was $39.90!
Out of that income I paid $65.00 per month for rent, utilities included and $54.00 for my car payment, leaving $40.60 for everything else, and somehow I managed. Mainly it was the tips I received which on a good day were $5.00 or less. I remember very well having 50 cents in my pocket to buy food for dinner on my way home from work on many days.
One week I ate popcorn for dinner every night, with some melted 18 cents a pound store brand margarine poured on top because thats all I had. I sure learned the value of a dollar that first year out on my own. I also had a good boss who’s wife invited me over to their home for dinner a couple of times a month.
