I looked online and I couldn't find any other appliances from this collection! Does anyone knows where I could find amore about it?

Please tell me what you think of these. Owner may want to sell. Located western Canada.

Kenmore 10 K BTU dual hose portable AC with remote control, purchased used in 2010 for CAD $300 , Toronto Canada.

I love that it has de-humidification mode because the modern de-humidifiers only last 3-5 years! There is still a minor cooling side effect which is perfect for summer climate control. AC mode is also working for very hot weather but my home is well shaded and rarely used.

The only issue is finding the air hoses that actually fit. Found one that fits onto the machine but not the window boot, but its close enough to be workable.

Apparently it was still working great in the 2010s when it disappeared. This one makes great smoothies

Just picked her up! I think we have a missing door plate but it is otherwise pretty pristine (need to reseal the door). Any tips and tricks, info about the exact model (or where I could get that) or where we could find the correct door plate?

I bought this range today and stupidly didnt strap it down in my truck. It tipped and smashed the handle and chipped the enamel what can I do about the enamel? I was so excited to get it home and my wife was in love with it but now its damaged and its really got me in the dumps.

I'm not sure when they were made but both are in great shape and come with spare parts, manuals, etc. The washer is like a tank!

Family member has a Maytag wringer washer and trying to find out what year it is. It is model E2LS and serial number 33282 UY. Also has 745G on the plate, not sure if that says anything about it. I tried searching but didn't find anything, maybe my search skills not so good. One thing I do know is that thing has some weight to it.

I am 30 and my dad is convinced he’s had it since before I was born. I have been using this to make cookies and cakes literally my entire life. Google ai is telling me this model was produced from 1960-1979 but obviously that is not a reliable source. I am curious if anyone here could give me more information on this model. It still runs perfectly!

I have an Okeefe and Merritt model 2040-3 oven that works great, but requires us to keep an eye on a thermometer and keep messing with the control to maintain temp. I'm thinking it needs a new thermostat, because if I set it to 400, it'll heat. At 350, it'll maintain temp fairly well, and anything below that seemingly acts as if it's off. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate the help! I tried to include as many pictures as I could to help

Need to replace the broken coil heating filament, the heating coil wire is broken, I have no idea where to order a replacement, I have looked online but do not know what to use.

Wife saw it on marketplace for $30 and had to have it. it works perfectly fine. She deciding between restoring or just leaving it as is. Shes talking about using it in the garage and taking the clothes straight to the clothes lines.

I got a run of the mill portable washing machine through Facebook marketplace and the person offered his old metal one for free since he was trying to get rid of it. I want to know some information about it (if it’s a pump drain or gravity drain) but I’ve had difficulty finding information about it online other than it’s likely from before 1985?

In the photos I have the two instances of model numbers, the exterior and knob closeups, and the interior of the washer and the spin dryer.

Any thoughts on this? Year, perhaps?

I run a tiny cafe in an old brick building downtown and my landlord just offered me this gorgeous 1950's glass door cooler he had sitting in storage. The timing is funny because our current commercial refrigerator has started making that low “death rattle” hum and froze half my prep yesterday.

​

I’m obsessed with the look of this old unit - rounded corners, chrome handle, the whole thing - but I’ve only ever used modern stainless stuff. I’ve been binging posts here and then looking at new options late at night, like some shiny double glass door merchandiser type commercial refrigerator I saw while price hunting, and now my brain is mush.

​

For those of you who actually use vintage fridges/freezers in a working kitchen or shop: how do they hold up day to day? Do health inspectors give you grief? Is it realistic to keep them cold and reliable with updated compressors/controls, or am I being romantic and setting myself up for constant repairs?

​

Would love any stories, pics, or “if I could do it again” advice.
