auto parts store
guess im lucky.. i work for a nissan dealer so i can snatch up on all kinds of stuff..we have plastic spray that they use on used car engines to make them all shiny..thats all the can says is plastic spray..but im sure its some sort of poly..i used it on the tag agi and that was a good 2 years ago..it seems to hold up pretty good..but then again i only wash soft items like socks ect..am sure zippers ect would scratch a whole lot more..

Now does the paint
come off if you use bleach in the wash??
Boy that Surgilator looks OOB!
These KenWhirls are getting scarce now , especially the water fall models!!
I am in the process of restoring a 1957 Kenmore for the collection. Can't wait to see my own water fall filter in action.
Nice pix Chris

When working on a Whirlpool BD I use a chain with hooks on the end to hold the top up. Hook one end on the frame corner and the other on the front top. It has to be long enough to open the top a little more than 90 degrees so it doesn't fall back down. Works for me.
Chris these two pages should help you out...

LOL ROFL LMAO
Chris...I'm sorry...I shouldn't have teased you
..in a time of distress.
Friday night Instant Karma retaliated with a vengence at 3am! Some funky allergic reaction caused my stupid feet to painfully swell to twice their size, painful even to a gentle touch, and turning to an almost exact color match to your 1-18. The final result was to render me totally unable to walk.
I live in a 2 storey apartment, on the 2nd/3rd floors of the building! It took me 45 minutes to work my way dowstairs and outside.
I had called 911, and the EMS gent carried me like a baby to the ambulance. I was conveyed to the Ratzinger Radisson! To those not familiar with St. Louis, that's a local wag to St. Louis University Hospital aka SLUH, the reknowned teaching and healing Jesuit ministry of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis. Lesser known, is that the movie "Exorcist" was partly inspired by the role of a priest dispatched from this same facility eons ago to provide a "healing."
My Kirby's once again, showed versality. Vintage appliances are the best! Had I not had a few on each floor of the apartment to serve as canes I don't know what I would have done! I'm no porker, pretty skinny actually, but any of todays vacs would have snapped like toothpicks.
So go ahead and laugh, it's your right! I promise never to tease you about your tootsies again, nor use the Catholic Church as a prop. Yeah right, like I'm gonna keep that promise, LOL! But you have to admit, the karma is hilarious!
You've taken that appliance from beat up old derelict to sexy and beautiful! Can I be next? I promise I won't show my gratitude by breaking your toes!
Cheers,
John
