Regina Ad Has anyone on here ever thought of using their buffer to polish an end table, dinette table or buffet? That's an idea I never would've thought of, although I'd probably never do it (if I had a buffer). Furniture polish is good enough for me. | ||

I'd never dare too.![]() My mom had one when I was a kid...in PINK no less, and that was one powerful machine. It had no speed controls, just an on/off toggle switch. Add Johnson Wax and the floors shined like they were wet. Was great for sock skating. Did you know that if you turned it on while it was standing by itself it would go wild spinning around? Yep, I was naughty. | ||

Was the Tappan Reversa-Jet Dishwasher the one that had the spring attached to the main spray arm that would tighten as the jets caused it to rotate in one direction and then when the spring overcame the force of the water it would cause the spray arm to fling itself in the opposite direction? | ||

![]() Wow, all these ads sure do bring back memories. My mom had the same Sunbream frypan as in post#595184. My sister and I bought her a new Westinghouse frypan which had a small slide out try on the bottom of the pan for keeping bacon warm, etc. but she never used it because she liked the Sunbeam pan better.

Gary: We had the similar pan, along with a smaller Presto. Each got individual duty quite frequently, but I believe the Sunbeam received more use. What I liked about the Sunbeam was knowing it was totally immersible in the sink while the Presto wasn't. It made it so much easier to clean. | ||

all this from a simple comment about a fry pan???![]() I'll bet me and my brothers ate well over 1000 meals that came out of that Sunbeam fry pan...chops, fish, fritatas (we weren't part of the steak crowd)...things my mom could prepare that didn't make a mess like frying chicken. She'd put newspaper under the pan and use a folding splatter shield around 3 sides. My mom and her 3 sisters were all neatnicks, but my Aunt Laura was the worst. She used hers on the washing machine in the garage, covering the entire washer with newspaper and then lining the cement floor around the washer with paper too. Her home had a Youngstown Kitchen with a dishwasher/sink. The dishwasher was never used. Many times I wanted to open the porthole top and look inside but was forbidden to touch it. We often had Christmas dinner or Thanksgiving over there and although the house had an eat-in kitchen and a dining room we always ate in the heated garage...still a good time was had by all.
Laura's husband, my Uncle Less was a super guy. He had a private plane and managed produce operations in Mexico, hence they had a very different lifestyle than us. Uncle Less spent a great deal of time in Salinas (the nation's salad bowl) so they decided to move to the Monterey area. They purchased a huge and pricey home in the Del Monte Forest next to the Pebble Beach golf course. Now Aunt Laura would have plenty to keep her busy since cleaning that place was like painting the Golden Gate Bridge...as soon as you finished you'd start over again. The house had 2 kitchens. The main one had all Chambers built-ins including 2 refrigerators that were grouted into the tile wall. In the very back of the house was a maid's quarters with a small kitchen. This is where Aunt Laura did all of the cooking. We went for a surprise visit one day and only my 2 cousins were home. I remember the enormous sunken living room with it's raked carpeting. All of us including my parents were told we were not allowed to even set foot in that room. We left shortly afer that. | ||

It was immersible, up to the handle part. Just had to be careful not to let the element inside the handle get wet. Good thing we always washed it with the handle facing up and towards us. | ||

![]() I dont see the little temperature dot that lit up orange right by the Off setting on the second ad like my mothers and now mine does. I remember as a kid her putting pork chops in, like the Westinghouse ad and they cooked almost 2 hours to a crisp because she thought we would get some sort of disease if pork was not totally, fully cooked through and totally dried out.

![]() That little GE mixer sure reminds me of good times. My mom baked a lot of "boxed cake mixes" and she always used the little GE. The motor blew air out of that front vent that had a unique smell, not a "motor smell" but something that reminded me of a Betty Crocker spice cake. After my mom passed away I only took a few things back here to the Desert with me but not the mixer. I often think about it and wished I had it. My brother saved a lot of stuff that's in storage, I hope that GE is a part of it.

My goodness! With an average annual wage of just under $1500-$2000 (two different websites quote me two different things), and those radios costing $10-$70---GEEZ! With a minimum wage of $.30 per hour, that means a $10 radio cost nearly a week's wages, probably more than that, after tax, if you were on minimum wage. | ||
