You Gotta Check-Out this Range, I Sneak-Peeked a Picture Of!!!!

[daveamkrayoguy]

At the house my daughter gets her swimming lesson at... All this time going to the local JCC in our city, then when out shut down, driving out to one in another town, just for her teacher all-along to give swimming lessons at her very home...! (She has a fairly sizable, and not particularly deep, indoor swimming pool there...)

 

Magic Chef..., Gas..., That thar's a 'lectric cord for what li'l 'tricity-operation she needs... As well as the Gas Line for 'er... The "unidentified, secret, mystery" dryer is an electric model, using the Dee-Cee...

 

Bonus: The Pool Pump, that I frequently hear going off, causing electricity surges, (though hasn't blown any fuses) and accompanied by another sound, from another area, (couldn't shoot that) that goes off seconds later, both shutting off at the same time... (I know--you can't see it; I couldn't get the light w/ a not-functioning pull-chain to go on!)

 

-- And -- The door that I didn't even know this was behind, adjacent to the bathroom/changing room, when all-along, right across from the "pool room" was the entrance to the utility room/laundry, which I'd seen (all) this behind, promising myself to someday get a picture of...

Here: Jim Lowe's "The Green Door", is playing!

My

grandfather spent his final years at the Grand Rapids veterans home. The entire place was green.
He was a WW I veteran, and became too much for my aunt to handle. He suffered from mustard gas exposure, so he drank since he returned from the trenches in France.
Some life eh? A 1905 Italian immigrant who fled a devastating earth quake, went back over to fight in a war at age 17, then came back to mine coal. He had his legs crushed in a collapse, so opened a bar.
He was mean to my dad, and grandmother and all 7 other siblings. A wonder he lived until 1975.
He had all his teeth, but was bald. He used to chew on chicken bones until there was nothing left.
I'm starting to go bald myself with all my own teeth also.
I've done ok for myself considering my roots I'd say.
America is great, and all kinds of people made it this way.

Do you see the red dial? That is the oven thermostat. That means it is a Magic Chef. MC was one of the first brands of gas stoves to have an oven thermostat. It was a "red wheel" on the side of the stove, not integrated with the gas valve on the front. Because the "red wheel" was such a distinguishing feature of Magic Chef stoves, even models made into more modern decades featured a red accent on the oven knob, like the little wings on the end of the knob by which you turned on the oven.

Notice too

There are TWO Red Wheel Regulators ,as they were called, this is a range with TWO full sized ovens, Wish I had it!!!!

 

[firedome]

my folks had one of these

growing up in Baltimore in the '50s to '60s, remember those red knobs well.

The only other major appliance was a 1950-ish Frigidaire, the one with the gold circle on the door behind the horizontal door pull lever.

Used my Zoom & didn't know it unloaded from my Phone!

Tradition Continues: A Washer in the Garage! --That you can, right from (the house, across) the street, easily see! And Probably NOT the Whirlpool that was there, originally (which I'd helped buy) but the one that it REPLACED!
