Cool (or should I say Hot?) Caloric oven. Is the Westinghouse a freezer? I know if lived in the "West End" I'd be stopping by at least once a week.... | ||

Hi Matt. I remember the Caloric wall oven with the observador. It also came in colors back in the 1960's. I also remember seeing one on the set of The Dick Van Dyke show. Ross | ||

Thanks for all the positive comments, it is very encouraging. Had no idea the caloric oven was in show business! The westinghouse is a regular fridge, just sectioned off. The top section is the freezer etc. My building used to be a butcher shop, was built in 1893, and has a 10'x8'x12' walk-in cooler. In fact I'm inside it now, made it my "man cave." Here is the front. HAGD Matt.

Sweet! What an awesome place full of history. That walk in is amazing too. If I'm ever in your area I'll definately stop in and visit. I'll even buy you lunch for a tour! | ||

Actually that Lint button is not a light.......
but inside it there is a mechanical red flag that pops up to show you when the lint screen needs cleaning. To reset the flag you push the button.....This is according to a Sears repair manual I have covering dryers of that era....I beliee the kind Appnut talks about are only found on Lady Kenmore Dryers....if anyone else can shed more light on the matter please feel free to do so.........PAT COFFEY

The "Lint Thing" is a button. On my '73 Lady Kenmore dryer it would shift from yellow to orange as the lint built up on the filter. It almost looked like an oil based system when you looked closely at the button. You have to push it to reset it. It did not light up. | ||

Interesting bit about the lint indicator. When I first saw the pic, I thought, "it adds lint?" | ||

I realize this is a VERY old thread ... ... but OMG Matt you are totally living my fantasy. I would gladly give up my "glamourous" Manhattan network television life for a storefront back home in suburban Pittsburgh. | ||

The life I want!
Hello Matt ... your set-up with the shop down and living space up is just what I dream about! Real estate prices are so expensive in the Greater Vancouver area that this will never happen for me here. However, if I was to move elsewhere, perhaps I really could do something like that! I'd love to have a restoration shop where I could work on all sorts of projects: antique furniture, appliances, books.

A fire and a divorce
I am getting back in the saddle. Here is my new shop. It does lack charm, but the traffic is good. It has been a tough couple of years. Thank you to all of you, I love you all : )
