I recently bought these two Oster Kitchen Centers for $20 CAD each. I now have most of not all of the more important attachments.

The dial potentiometer was making the machine shift quickly from fast to slow, glitching really.

I unscrewed the bottom to gain access to the back of the potentiometer.

I then used DeoxIT D5 contact cleaner and sprayed it in the hole at the back of it.

Turn the knob a few times to work the solution in and the problem is solved.

These machines are built like tanks and with a little maintenance can last past my lifetime and my kids will own them if they want to keep them.

What's your favorite attachment?

What do you like to use it for most?

This is so beautiful and I will probably never get the chance to have something so intricately carved again but I live in an apartment on the 3rd floor with no elevator. There’s no chance this thing can live with me.

I am dying.

Just picked this tzedakah box up for $4 at an estate sale. Any and all information welcome!

Some people see it as a nightgown some see it as a dress and I've been super confused (the images are from a video I took of myself so theyre a little blurry sorry)

Hi yall, so I bought this jacket for $20 apparently it was $600 im not sure bought it cuz it fit very nicely, anyone hear of this brand roamans ? I have never
Apparently its real leather feels decent quality but it has this smell i cant exactly explain it but like moist or something. Did not notice at all till i took it home :(
how can i clean this? Is it even possible to clean it or did i waste $20

But as soon as I saw it I had to have it.

In the last month I have found two holy grail finds. I remember seeing Amy Browns art work while I was growing up but didn’t own anything from her. I’ll never sleep on the frames or coffee book section again at the thrift!

SO LUCKY

I think it may have custom paint. Does anyone recognize this OOAK dachshund custom artist? Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

My uncle wore them when he was young so they‘re pretty old. Also i don‘t know how to find out what size they are.. I‘m thankful for any kind of help!!

Theres no way this translates well😭

I’d been wanting one of those trendy glass cups for years. I’ve always thought they were so pretty but the prices were absurd. I finally found one at my local thrift store for a dollar. It had some of that circuit final stuff on it and I destroyed my nails picking it off (thankfully it wasn’t to hard since it was cursive text)

Anyways, I’m halfway through my iced tea and noticed the condensation is perfectly tracing where the text used to be. That’s so weird. I completely scrubbed every last bit of it off. The glass is fully smooth to the touch. Why does this happen?

I believe it could be 19th century but I’m not entirely sure. I can’t find a manufacture stamp at this current moment.

Correct : Hi! I thrifted this beautiful coffee table and I was wondering if any of you knows the brand/ year.
There is no stamp or brand tag. I believe it’s vintage
