I'm wondering if it's just ice underneath it. On an 81 Chevy I once had that happen with the driver's door. Besides it being frozen, and my having to force it open from the inside, it would not close. I had to hold the door shut while I drove for a few miles with the heat on high. That was a fun trip, but I was 17 and invincible then.

Very hard for me to tell you what to do when it's a different model. If it were the same, we're comparing apples to apples. This one, if I recall, had a wound plastic plug in the handle, after that was popped, there was a larger flat blade screw. Otherwise, keep trying. It went together somehow, so it has to be able to come apart.

Always remember, it's not hoarding if your stuff is cool! Yeah that's quite the DVD player, having no brand. Makes you wonder how _compatible_ it must be! The mouse actually isn't bad, only problem I foresee is that with use, the silver paint will wear off. Otherwise the mouse will work fine. No PS/2 port, no problem, there are USB to PS/2 adapters out there and just about any of them will run it. The little adapter things you see, one of which was included, is only for meeces that support the USB protocol. They were available in a number of different flavors over the years, USB to PS/2 and PS/2 to USB. In the dinosaur days where I'm from, meeces hooked up Serial (RS-232) or PS/2, and you found PS/2 to Serial and Serial to PS/2. Long of the story is you can pretty much make any meeces work from any time period, at least under Windows, provided you have the appropriate adapter. You know, KZbin's got AI for video ideas now. It's awful! I like your ideas better. I still think a few per video would be good. I'll read off the labels, power it up, if it needs to warm up, I'll let it. I'm not much into dimming it, as the only bulbs that will be truly dimmable are incandescent, and with that, you will get exactly what you expect. If you dim anything else, you will simply get unexpected results.

My mind has done that with that name from time to time. Especially since I associate "biz" with laundry, and lizbiz, I mean lizboz with laundry. biz of course being a laundry product.

Yes I still have it. The rust hole held with the caulk for a few years and then let go. I had another video where I used JB WaterWeld to fix it, and that has been holding perfectly for years. The dishwasher is used normally, on an as-needed basis.

Thanks, I appreciate your additional story and information, that may help others.

That could very well be. It's been a long while indeed! I guess we'll have to see which pump fails first. If the new machine does, I can put the old one on it. Or I can put a new one on the old machine. I wish I knew what causes the different sounds, the newer ones appear to be about the same, save maybe for the thickness of the plastic housing.

Yeah I didn't remember which video I first commented on, but that 2010 video sounds about right since I found that video while I was in CA with my mother during my parents' separation. That was in either April or May 2011, and that's actually when I first made the video on that 97 GE washer my late grandmother had. But I didn't end up posting that video until WAY later in November that year for whatever reason. But I think the first video I ever found from you was your 1990 videos, and I remember I was amazed at how similar the agitation sounded between yours and ours! Ahh, to be a kid in wonder again. Lots of memories from that year. I think you first commented on my first 2008 Kenmore 500 video from July of that year, and I remember being geeked out that Sharkie626 commented on one of MY videos!

​@@jaykay18I actually figured out why they sound different and was gonna maybe do a video, but it'd be like a bonus clip or something in the near future.

@@lizboz See, that was back in the old days of KZbin when the algorithm actually suggested videos you wanted to watch and were related to what you just watched. Nowadays, recommended videos first go to the highest bidder, second to the next highest, etc. Once it gets far enough down the list, there might be something you're vaguely interested in. It also is sort of what brought us together, if you will, having similar interests like that. Funny how you say "a kid in wonder". That happened to me, once, starting back in 1985 when we got our first computer. I always wondered why the program you can just put the disk in and turn the computer on and it would just work, as opposed to other ones where you had to first boot DOS, swap disks, then issue the command to runt he program. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you want to look at it, that steered my entire life in the direction it went, me becoming a computer dick. So "a kid in wonder" is actually a very powerful thing.

Yes! Also remember when people could actually post related videos in the comments? I think it was something like a "video response" comment. I think by the time the "cosmic panda" layout for KZbin took over in 2012, that was done away with. Indeed it is a powerful thing. There's lots of stuff I can remember I was ecstatic about when I discovered how it worked. Somehow my mother was actually the first one to figure out that the lidswitch for the newer direct drives was underneath the lid rather than just a hole on top like back then. When she showed me that, my jaw about hit the floor, and I was stoked that we could actually run our machine with the lid open. Before, I had to just peek in through the gap of the lid, hopefully without stopping it to even catch a glimpse of what was going on. Of course it all went downhill from there.

Thanks, you too!

You're welcome.

Toward the end of this video, I compare it with the 24 inch model I purchased, I guess going on 8 or 10 years ago now. Only rust is the skid shoes, which are a consumable item.

@@Madness832 Too slow, Liont picked it clean already!

Very good, I use bone conduction headphones already.

Thanks, that's what it's all about here, have fun while learning something.

I've found that the wireless headsets don't quite quite cut it for video editing. I always edit my videos with a headset, as the audio is more important than the video itself, so that way I can hear every last thing. When you're trying to line things up frame by frame with the audio and there is any latency involved, that all goes out the window. Over a 3.5mm connection, on the other hand, it's perfect.

Car battery health you mean? At over 12 minutes, this was a _fairly comprehensive review._ Should this device have had said feature, you can be sure the video would have been even longer and I would have included that.

Mee-yow!

Thank you.

You're welcome!

Yes, they used to be well made and very good sound quality.

That's a neat trick, that one, that your uncle used to do. Then again, I guess I have enough Amazon boxes I probably could do the same thing. You know, it's absolutely amazing how much cardboard they go through. And how much I amass.

You're welcome.

No problem at all.

Yes, 1979.

@@jaykay18 you have a lot of years left. i see that far from old.

@@pyeltd.5457 I hope so. Life truly is too short.

I should have used that big birthday glass...

This might actually go into service.

No idea what brand this one was. Though the name sounds familiar for some reason.

You said it well! You are right, and as far as the roads go, it's the same story no matter what state you're in.

There are 2 cables supplied with the unit. The cord with the cigarette lighter plug that plugs into the car does not charge the unit, but will run it even with a dead battery in the inflator. To charge the inflator's battery, you must use the USB cable. Where you get power from for that USB cable doesn't matter, so if you have a house charger and plug it into that it will work, or a USB port in your car, that will also charge it.

Quite possibly. Getting the backyard whipped back into shape takes priority over the extras.

Wow, what a way to go. Back in the day, sitcoms would have a light in the attic short out and that would start it. I had a similar thing happen to me with oil once back in the day, well, rather, I was the hero in that one. I'll save that for an Old War Story one day.

Nice. That's the best when parts like that live on in other projects, far beyond their intended purpose and lifespan.

No idea, haven't heard, and can't find anything online about it either.

I once place my gas can precariously and it fell over upside-down. Dumped about a gallon of gas on the garage floor.The garage and the rest of the house stunk like gas for a week, but it has since all dissipated and all is well. No damage occurred. The power was left on at this house so it really was minor. Still, it's a huge upset. They probably couldn't sleep there that night, just guessing on that. The lights were painful to look at in real life. But at least they were all being run on pure DC voltage so they didn't flicker. I've said many times, they got LEDs right for the cars, and it's all because it's got pure DC.

@@jaykay18 My thoughts on another comment here. I rarely see the reason mentioned if it ever does hit the news. They may or may not flicker on DC, but the lights on emergency vehicles are the worst and cause blindness for longer periods of time. Like I said, these leds have to be lasers, that is why the gruberment won't regulate leds. They also hide behind climate scam and carbon emissions and social whatever costs.

Yeah, really! Ancient Pagan rituals of bringing a tree inside while you go put the heat on to dry it out, lace it with cheap wiring, then get drunk and light candles. That was Gallagher's impression of Christmas from a fire prevention point of view. No scent of it till I was outside. Last time I had the windows open and the fart sniffer in the air purifier noticed it right away, it was glowing red and angry and running a mile a minute. I had people over all the time back in the day and when the doorbell rang, the electric skillet that I still use today was turned OFF before I left the room. I would open the door, invite them in, and come right back to the kitchen and turn it right back on. No chance I'm going to leave it for a minute while this one goes to the bathroom and that one hangs their coat up. Dinner will be just fine. I did once, and you were here, have the turkley ignite on Thanksgivmas in March. "Close the door and turn it off" was the best advise indeed. Fixed it all up and was able to continue cooking till catpletion. This year I was going to use the tisserie, but I ended up getting just a turkley breast. It fit the halogen oven so I used that instead of the jumbo tisserie. That thing had to cook for about 2:15 or so, and it did it like champ. Longest I ever cooked with it. I was faking infomercial camera shots when I carved this, and it was real. You know what this is, and have had it. Yeah, it's actually possible to cook an absolute feast for your guests, forgetting even the sides. That poor bird was devoured and only made a couple sandwiches after.

That was pretty minor then, but not as minor as this place. I am sure by New Years they will be back. Still a horrible thing to have happen. i feel really sorry it it happened due to not watching the cooking and instead watching something else. If that's how it happened, that's unfortunately how a lot of people have to learn their lesson nowadays.

Thanks, hope they're OK too.

I remember about I forgot how many years ago when I was little in this was during the summer by elementary school. They were working on the roof and something happened. I believe it was a generator exploded, causing part of the school to catch fire.

Oh yeah this is definitely a good one, scans every time reliably. I have an old LED one when the came on the market and you have to try, try, try again and maybe it will read. This is like the old-school ones you remember where it's pretty much perfect every time.

Mmm...depends on the set. This will "get your feet wet" so to speak. I learned at a very young age what was what, probably around age 6, positive and negative, all that kind of stuff. I still have the wire stripper I was given, and still use that same stripper 40 years later, it's a tool I'll have for life. For light bulbs, I had leftover 1960s IBM equipment that helped us get to the moon, for motors it was out of whatever toy that broke, and for bells I had 48V telephone bells, that was it. I had to learn by trial and error, which, in my opinion, is one of the best ways to learn.

I've saved a lot bigger, and a lot better that really is saving the earth.

Well they all play the numbers game, but it's considerably brighter nonetheless.

Congratulations for your daughter! Oh yeah, definitely keep that machine operational--AT ANY COST. I have many other repair videos of these types of machines.

I found a pack of 100 carbon-film ones, 1/4 watt for 2 bucks on Amazon. That would probably work fine. I'm still spearminting with them. The biggest one has a bug in its firmware, on the lowest brightness it stops responding to the remote. One brightness click up and it works.

You're welcome.

It might be possible to use this keyboard on a Windows 98 machine actually, as it did support HID devices such as this over USB, even on first edition.

Thanks. I know you have one of these. BN-LINK makes a lot of great products you always wish existed. They do, they're not very expensive, and they work well. Not much more you can ask for!

You're welcome.

Thanks. If you've had the leading national brand ones, you're missing out, they are GARBAGE! The Joray ones are all natural and there is a HUGE difference. The peppers, well years ago I could eat them as a midnight snack, but not these days. I remember carousel CD changers that took 5 discs, some took 6. For one to take 9 discs, the machine would have to be considerably larger than a normal piece of stereo equipment. According to Father Google: _"In Jewish tradition, mourners at a funeral do not hand the shovel directly to the next person because it is considered symbolic of passing on sadness and grief, signifying a reluctance to "give over" the responsibility of participating in the burial process; instead, they typically place the shovel back in the mound of dirt for the next person to take, showing a shared sense of solemnity and respect for the deceased."_ Uh, yeah, but not really. That's why like I said, a lot of religion is made up campfire stories, passed down from caveman to caveman. Here we are present day. I have seen notes along those lines on their fridge over the years. This was another one of them. I could totally see my Aunt Mary writing that note, she always has a little something to do. And while Leo was in the hospital and then hospice since April, it really doesn't matter if she wrote it before he died or not, the fact of the matter is, he wasn't going to be coming home ever again. I could totally see it being written after he died. Just seems right and on par with other notes I have seen over the years. She did put it in the right place for him to see it, on the fridge, as he was always overweight!

@@jaykay18 I mean, she couldn't just give Leo the note directly if it was something that wanted to be heard? I don't see the point otherwise, but ok. As for the shovel, that reminded me of the segment in George Carlin's It's Bad For Ya where he rants about the raising your left hand over your right hand to swear on the Bible. "Sorry wrong hand try again!" I think the CD carousel holds 6 CDs.

@@saturnevan Like I said, I think the note was written after his death. I know the Carlin bit well! 6 CD was possible indeed.

@@jaykay18It seems odd to me to say "He didn't see the note" when it was written after the fact. That would almost be like opening up an old wound to only to feel the pain. That is all.

@@saturnevan I know exactly what you mean. But the idea is "he would see it from up above" if you believe in that. Like I said, I can't prove or disprove it and it's a one-sided deal where there's no guarantee. My gut feeling is once you're dead, you're dead, and that's the end. You can have dreams while alive, and sometimes they are absolutely wild and none of it ever happened or ever could happen. We've all been there. But you have to be alive to remember it.

Yep, depends on which Bluetooth chip they use. Some have that voice, others just have tones, some have more American-sounding voices, there's a bunch I have encountered over the years.

One thing I've learned about the professionals is they are far from it. These days, a professional is someone who has done it once before. It takes year of practice, to the point where it can practically be done with the eyes closed, to truly be a professional. So I don't like wasting money on them. If expensive, specialized tools are involved, it's an absolutely huge job, too dangerous to perform, or other things of that nature, then the pros get called in. Usually, their work is sub-par, so it's best to do anything and everything you can yourself. For me, I can tell you that I am my own toughest customer, so the job's not done until _I_ am satisfied.
