I don’t know much about old CRTs but I thought this looked really cool. It’s listed for sale at $50. Are these hard to get working?

I have 2 full brood boxes and I’m shocked to see a full super. 8 frames.

I added a queen excluder (she was in bottom brood box) as well as another super today.

Everything looked great except this. Is this wonky comb or should I be worried?

The protected original color was a bit lighter than the aged body, so I went with a close color to that. I left the motor the original color - I just couldn’t bring myself to alter that.

I’m not very handy but I’ve been having fun restoring this 1960s fan. High mode works, just not medium or low. All looked good on the other end, now I just need to get inside. I figured it would just be nuts and screws but I have these odd round things. Please advice. Thanks!

This looks to say Wenzel 1887. It’s a little bigger than a U.S. quarter. Any idea what it came off of?

I’d like to restore this. From what I’ve found, it’s a 1960s Lakewood Country Aire. I’d like to know which exact year/model - most I’ve found online have a dial for speed and not these colorful buttons. Thanks!

Water drips quickly and leaks only during agitation. It does come pouring out in the front right side of I’m facing the washer. Probably a quart or 2 every time it agitates.

The beige hose/clamp seems to be dry. I did get a video from the bottom up with my GoPro but having trouble uploading.

I tried to get a video of it with the top off looking down but doesn’t want to agitate with the top off. It got stuck on sensing forever.

I’ll attach a picture.

Red = where most of the water is coming from
Orange = 2nd place
Green = third

But good chance it’s coming from higher up.

If you can help, I’d appreciate it!

I purchased this 2 days ago and have had a blast with it so far. I ordered new capacitors, dial cord, replacement lamps, and decals.

While waiting for those to arrive, I’ve been downloading radio from the era and plan to use an AM transmitter to play through it.

Any advice appreciated!

Hive age: 6 weeks from package

Info: first and second brood boxes (8 frame) were 90% full. Added my first honey super with queen excluder today. I will stop feeding syrup now.

Questions: is all of this weird comb normal burr comb? Does anything look odd to you? The last 2 pictures are from 2 frames stuck together that tore.

Also, I only noticed eggs on 1/4 of one side of a frame. I assume they ran out of room last week.

Any advice or anything you see is appreciated! Thanks

Time frame: Started 1 deep from a package 1 month ago. Half of the frames are filled (middle frames) the other half hardly have anything on them.

The uncapped swarm cell is at the top on this frame in the picture.

Overall everything looks great. I see nectar, bread, eggs, pupa, I saw the queen, capped worker cells (didn’t see any drone cells)…no beetles or moths.

Is this just a practice cell? Should I remove it? Are they feeling out of room even though they have 50% of the frames left?
