    RIP Bosch

    Hey, Erik ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I'm in Buffalo also!  If it's not being too nosy of me, what thrift stores are you finding these wonderful coffee machines in?  I know you said Goodwill and Savers, but may I ask which ones?</span>   <span style="font-family...

    How do you change the headlight on a Eureka 5071D?

    Thank you, Bud! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I should have thought of that, but I really appreciate you reminding me of the procedure.  It's a standard procedure on Eurekas of that era, from what I recall.</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'...

    How do you change the headlight on a Eureka 5071D?

    <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I just got a Eureka Self-Propelled ESP upright, model 5071D, and it needs a new headlight bulb.  Problem is, I'm not sure how to change it!  I can change bulbs in the non-SP models with ease, but the SP models are a mystery to me.  Can anyone...

    What kind of mixer do you use/like???

    John! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">You're not the only one with too many mixers, my friend!  I have a KitchenAid stand mixer, also -- it will be 25 years old later this year (maybe around August or so) since my wife and I bought it when we got married -- as well as two GE...

    Vintage TV's anyone?

    Here is my vintage TV set <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">It is a 1979 MGA Mitsubishi Electric 15" Color TV with ultrasonic remote control, model CS-1592.  As you can see from the pictures, it still has its original remote control and is in perfect working condition!</span>...

    Microwave ovens

    <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I have a Panasonic-made Quasar that's over 20 years old and is still running fine.  I bought it from a Salvation Army thrift store for under $5 when I was outfitting a secondary kitchen in my basement.  What I love about it is that it has the...

    saying hello

    I'll admit it ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I'm a fan of retro appliances myself.  I clean my house (mostly) with retro vacs like my Hoover Convertibles; I drink coffee brewed either in an '80s-era General Electric "Brew Starter" auto drip coffeemaker or one of my many...

    a question about my hoover upright

    Convertibles are WONDERFUL carpet cleaners ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... but their attachment suction is abominable!  And to my recollection, they've always been that way.  (Please understand, I'm not bashing 'em -- I love Convertibles a bunch -- but I'm just...

    Politically Correct Holiday Songs

    Monster Mash Bash 5

    Drat! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Regrettably, I'm not going to be able to make this one, John.  I've recently begun singing with our Band during our late service: on top of that, I'm now in charge of the sound for BOTH services!</span>   <span style="font-family...

    One-Pot Pasta with Shrimp & Tomato-Basil Sauce

    This sounds absolutely heavenly! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I've printed the recipe out, Charles, and am going to try it soon.  Thankfully, we have a deep-discount supermarket here called Aldi (no doubt you have it there in CA as well, or something like it at least) that...

    Advice, anyone?

    My two favorites are ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... the Epic 6500SR and the Hi-Tech 2100.  Both are really good plastic body machines: if you're planning to add one to your collection, you can't go wrong with either one of these.  I have the Epic 6500SR myself, but...

    "CHARLES RICHARD LESTER ... COME ON DOWN!" (*)

    We went to see "TPIR" ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... in 1999 when we made a cross-country trip on a Greyhound bus to LA!  I agree with you -- it's a grueling process, all that waiting and then not to get called to "come on down"!  We were staying at a hotel...

    Got a new Floormate!

    I have the same one that John Lucia does <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">and I simply love it.  It's the FloorMate Spinscrub 500.  I did my kitchen and dining room floors with it yesterday: I really can't believe how wonderfully clean the floors come out when I use it!  And...
