Hey,
Anyone notice that Big Honkin' Ass Casement A/C in the window to keep that 60's Housewife Cool ? Now that was luxury back then.
Look at that thing. That's gotta be at least 12,000 to 15,000 BTU to keep up with the stove. Look at all those outside louvers on the extention outside. They set up that A/C the same way I have mine. Casement Window, Remove the Window, set the unit in place securely, and use Plexi Glass so you don't lose the day light or the view. Perfect !!! | ||

I still had the ad up in my browser, so thought I would post the second photo from the ad for posterity. The cabinet fronts are attractive.

I think that style AC unit is rated around 8000 BTUs. I would like to know what happened to the door of the corner cabinet. Did something in a jar or can go bad and blow it off the hinges? Wonder what hapened to the end panel for the stove. Surely they did not leave it like that all of this time. | ||

Perhaps the corner was intended to be an open display cabinet. | ||

The AC.... Is not from the 60's, if you look closely it has digital controls on it so it is fairly new. | ||

Youngstown!! These are the Youngstown cabinets with wood doors, they were made to compete with wood cabinets, I would love to have this kitchen!! That is the largest dishwasher ever made, 30 inches wide The door is missing on the corner unit, probably the hinges broke and never got fixed!! | ||

Congratulations! I'm glad this nice kitchen is getting recycled as opposed to ending up in a landfill. The cabinet fronts are really pretty. Can you tell if it is a veneer, or is it a solid wood? Any idea what type of wood it might be? | ||

These Appear to Be Exactly.....
....The Youngstown Kitchen cabinets my parents had in the house they owned from 1974 to 2005.
That kitchen was installed in 1962, by the previous owners, and included the exact dishwasher shown, which was eventually replaced by a GE. The bodies of the cabinets were steel, in a tan painted finish, and the door/drawer fronts were Formica, in a six-foot woodgrain pattern (a six-foot woodgrain pattern is one that is only convincing from six feet away). The cores of the fronts were MDF or some similar "manufactured wood" product. The edges of the doors and drawers were finished with tan vinyl T-edging; there was a routed groove around the edge of each front, and the T-edging was tapped into place, trimming the edge. They did not hold up as well as say, St. Charles cabinets would have. The construction of the door/drawer fronts did not hold hinges and pulls as well as steel doors would have, and replacement parts were impossible to find even when my folks first bought the house. And the gauge of the steel bodies was lighter than St. Charles cabinets, which I've had in a house. They weren't the worst cabinets ever, but they weren't the best, either. | ||
