I have two of these fans, with plastic grilles and no thermostats. I have a blue one labeled KMART and a pink one that is identical with no KMART markings. Recently, the blue fan got wet, and has malfunctioned. When you turn it on, it will only run for a few seconds and then kicks off. Do you know if fans this old have any sort of thermostatic resistor/circuit breaker? It sounds like it is tripping and then resetting. I have dried the fan out for days and it has not improved, so I no longer think that there is a "wet" condition still causing it not to function properly. Thank you.

Thank God his exists otherwise I would have no clue which color wire go’s where!

My grandparents used to have a washer like this, But the brand name was called "Estate"

hate 2011 government should have left them alone

Can you give me driver wifi for windows 10? Please.

Es muy poco probable que un motor de aspiracion necesite un recambio. El que tenia con un cambio de rodamientos y una buena limpieza podia seguir funcionado muchos años mas. Gracias. Para mas consejos, sigame.

Speed Queen made Montgomery Ward machines and my grandmother would always buy a Montgomery Ward

They had so much torque that they had a wheel lock on on wheel to prevent them from rolling when washing. You unlock them when you were finished with the washing.

Just for the people who think this clown knows ANYTHING, he doesn't! the first thing he should have done is clean the battery terminals. If the cable isn't compromised, clean the terminals first. don't replace with ghetto terminals that corrode horribly. If that Interstate battery was less than 5 years old, it's likely OK, unless you live in extreme heat. Also just know that the Wally World Neverstart batteries are made by the parent company of Interstate battery.A better choice for the terminals would have been to get some mil spec terminals from Napa and put eyelets on the cables for a more reliable repair. As a master certified mechanic for nearly 50 years, I've seen more failures from those junk terminals tha I could even count. This MORON in the video scraped the corrosion protection off the terminals, so I'd bet money that it's already failed. Probably within a month.

I have one of these, it only cuts at an angle and I don’t know how to fix it. Do you have any ideas ?

This very fan caught fire in my house last night. Very scary if I'd not been right there. The fire sprung up from around the motor. Happened when I turned it on. I would NOT have expected it just because it was old. It had been running fine.

I would honestly pick this over Whirlpool direct drive washers

Keep your nasty feet off the screen and hold the shit properly. Worst video on KZbin

Cleaned better than the dual action agitator! I had both.

Does it have to have water to agitate

My DVM600 is "please wait" do not work. 😢

The rollers on the wringer are still in good shape ! They usually disintegrated after some time.

Had one

Cool find! How’d u bypass the lid switch?

Oscillation function is missing the gears

Um is your washer level?

KZbin must be showing me this to appreciate my modern machine that washes and dries about 6-7 times that many towels with the push of a button. Who's got time to be wringing out clothes in 2024 for goodness sakes?

Given to me by ex roommate, barely used. Tincan speaker sounds, aux doesn't work because it will keep attempting to connect to Bluetooth as soon as it's on. I've had it for 5 years because i forgot about it and just recently pulled it out only to find that it's shit.

my elmo st 600 sound film super 8 chews up film any ideas how to stop it , it used to ply them okay

Compré la misma y la uso temprano mientras desayuno para ir a trabajar, es muy práctica y de buena calidad muy robusta. Saludos

This looks exactly like the Speed Queen wringer washer minus the stainless steel tub that's in the Speed Queen model. Speed Queen might've made this for Montgomery Ward.

you did use the real driverpack. it's real, it works fine for the driver part but it has a bunch of junk and adware programs bundled with it. make sure to delete it

The diode probably ain't the shit

I have a Newcomb EDT-12 C coming from a seller on eBay. I've owned this model before. Both the exact same color as yours. The first one died on me. It always played Shellac 78s, Vinyl and Styrine records fine. Just in case is there a way to adjust the tracking force on this model? I've read that Newcombs track at 10+ Grams, but that doesn't make sense as my previous one would have destroyed any Styrine discs on the first play if true. It didn't destroy them even after numerous plays. My first one the Pause feature got stuck in Pause. I suspect that the grease had gotten too old.

Awesome vintage Eureka from the mid- to late 1970s - and a super great price for such a workhorse! What is the model number of the Roto-Matic power head? The beater/brush roll is called a Disturbulator, because it disturbs the dirt and dust . Some have mentioned a production date stamp at the bottom of the cord winder, in case you're interested. Euphoric Eurekaing!

I remember HGST drives. Hitachi used to be good, or at least they were supposed to be, in electronics. At The Wiz, we had an escalator that was made by Hitachi that was always broken. If it went 2 weeks without breaking it was a lot. They always had a guy there "fixing" it. I don't know if there were just worn out parts or what the deal was but they never worked right. The "safety button" on the system is known as a case intrusion detector. It's kind of a leftover from the old days of computing. In 1984, starting with the IBM PC/AT, a keylock was included. Not only did it disable the keyboard, but it also locked the case on the machine. This was a big deal back then when a hard drive could cost hundreds upon hundreds of dollars, not to mention the rest of the hardware. It kept the honest criminals out. Of course if you lost the key you'd have to contact IBM. This continued on with computers for some time through the 90s. In the very late 90s, some of the Compaq Deskpro units had an electric solenoid that would lock the case, which was turned on and off in the BIOS, and obviously you'd set a BIOS password so people couldn't go in there and just turn it off. When toggled, upon reboot, you'd hear the solenoid engage or disengage. Nice idea but if it failed, there was no key. The case intrusion detection switch would give a message on power on that the case had been opened. Usually, you'd know right away if someone had been inside. I had an IBM PS/ValuePoint machine back in the day, I think it's still here actually. By that point, IBM had switched from a cylindrical keylock to a standard lock. Some guy gave me the machine, it was locked and there was no key. Took a big flatblade screwdriver and was able to jam it in and turn it to unlock. So like I said, it only kept the honest criminals out. I guess that temperature sensor on the drive doesn't do much since it never alerted you (or that feature is turned off). The drive should never be that hot after 15 minutes, so obviously there is a problem. Either which way, yes, you can try keeping the drive in the fridge, that was a common trick we used. Freezer too, but you have to watch for condensation forming. Glad that new drive worked out for you and the machine is operating well once again. My guess is that particular machine was one of the last ones with Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 10 upgrade rights, where the key is stored in the machine electronically. Though typically if it had Windows 7, there would be a product key sticker on it, which may have been lost to the sands of time. So it's possible it came with 8 and the key is good for 10 as well. It's nice when stuff just works the way it's supposed to.

I love vintage crt tv's. Here in Mizoram black and white tv from 1990s are rare and willing to buy it for 600 rupees,

I had one that looks exacting but remembered it being a 19" but with composite input. The flip down door was all the way towards the right and ended with the right side and think it had the speaker on the side. Great TV, my dad found it in the trash early 90's with the top corner banged up pretty good like it was dropped. It came right on, just would had snow in the picture at times but a smack or two it cleared up. Few years later got a solder gun and found a loose solder joint and lasted for a good while until the snow returned and self deleted. It was my gaming tv, and man it was nice to have with the price of tvs in those days!

The solid state TVs you never want to put them on a very ac. You can actually cause more damage that way. Take it from a TV technician of over 25 years experience

You are king of the odd size TVs. 14 inch was not common, 13 was, and in the black and white days, 12 was somewhat common. Strange that it would not power up wired one way but did the other. As far as I'm concerned, it most certainly should work either which way; many grandmas have backwards-wired outlets with ground plug cheaters and their TVs worked fine. But the variac may have messed with that slightly and that's why. Easy way to remember how to wire it is by the plug. The larger one is neutral and the smaller one is hot. Seems counter-intuitive but that's the way you remember. Then just inspect the wire close to the plug to see what markings if any it has, and check the other end for the same and you found it. When I was about 12 or 13, my grandmother needed a new TV, I told an Old War Story about it called "The Best Set!". Grandma's apartment was probably original to the building which was built in 1927. The wiring was ancient, she had a fusebox instead of a circuit breaker box, and it took the old Edison Style fuses if I recall. She had a file, and I sat there with this totally dull and uncared-for file for what seemed like a half hour, filing off the polarization on that plug to get it to fit the outlet. All I can tell you is it was a Samsung from around the same time period, no woodgrain. And by the end of all that filing, I didn't care which way it was plugged in as long as it was plugged in. It worked, however it was, and stayed plugged in how it was probably until she moved out of there maybe 20 years later.

🤦🏻‍♂️ first of all, the thermostat is at the other end of the engine under the throttle body in the other housing. 2nd that muddy stuff under the radiator cap has your radiator and heater core stopped up, so you need to replace the radiator and thermostat and remove the hoses and back flush the heater core. 😊

How do I bypass the lid switch on this machine?

I got one for free

I have a similar one of these branded JCPenney. It's the same cabinet just like this and same year. But the front is different and it's silver and not woodgrain. GE pic tube because they made it. The speaker grill cloth looks similar to one of those Zenith Space Command sets from the same era.

So much better than LED 2024... Glad I was here in person.

TV sets were actually serviced back then. Imagine that. Nowadays, everybody just throws their $500 unserviceable flat TV in the trash when it dies. What a waste of resources on every level.

I remember I had one of those little guys as a little kid. It was a hand-me-down from when we could afford a bigger TV for our living room (we were poor back then). So nostalgic to see this.

Typical overbuilt vintage Panasonic. Excellent unit, should last another 45 years.

Nice 23

That truly is in remarkable condition. Very nice all around. I had mentioned to you that my dad has 2 Eureka vacuums, they are probably both from the 70s. The "Tool-Pak" was actually an option, just for that plastic thing all of the attachments push on to. The one I remember most had all of its attachments, and we had the Tool-Pak. I think the crevice tool was shoved through that raised area. Ours didn't have a powered head, just the other one you have. Many of the styling cues from that are on the other one. Same clamshell case design. One may have had a toggle switch on the right side on the front, I don't know if that was just that model or a repair because the original broke. Ther other definitely had that foot-operated pedal to turn it on and off. Even had the suction control on the hose. Seems your hard floor piece is definitely missing something, I don't know if a piece from the power head comes off so you can use it or what. Sounded very very similar to the one we used regularly. Oh I think the retractable cord also had a small pedal you would step on to have it retract instead of the ratcheting kind yours has. The other one I remember my dad found thrown out one day, cord retract may have been broken so my dad rewired it externally. He used to use that with our old oil burner before he converted to gas. Last that may have been powered up would have been the early 90s, if even that late. Didn't sound the same as the original. The original one was taken out of service around 1985 I think. My mother wanted an Electrolux vacuum. At the time, they would give in-home demonstrations. I remember when the guys came over. They demonstrated the vacuum and asked for the existing one to show the difference. They had a tube that attached and 4 steel balls. The Eureka could pick up and hold 2 of them, didn't make the third or just barely tried. The Electrolux of course sucked up all 4. They also demonstrated their carpet shampooer. At the time, as we learned later on in life, that was the best one they ever made. All metal construction, metal gearbox, the whole nine yards. They shampooed the living room rug I recall. Couldn't get my dad to shake enough Shekels out for that, in restrospect it would have paid off in spades to have purchased it; I think he just wanted the free rug shampoo. I don't know how my mother convinced my father to get the Electrolux, perhaps that happened "behind closed doors" if you know what I mean, but it happened, and they still have it today. The Eureka vacuums are still around as well, haven't been used in forever. There is also some sort of upright vacuum that they never used that's been tucked awat in the basement for nearly 40 years. Don't know what kind it is. Hopefully the humidity hasn't rusted the motor in place.

These are really nice machines. I have 2. It takes a style B bag, easily obtainable

Nice 12
