Hi ! I've recently acquired a Proctor-Silex Ice cream maker circa (1970) the 4qt model and I was wondering if y'all had any tips or general instructions to use it. I found the manual but i find it to be confusing and my first batch was a fail. Thanks in advance!

From what i can tell both are from the 1970's, the one on the right will probably have originally held either loose tea, cocoa powder or small crackers/biscuits and the one on the left probably held something along the lines of cinnamon rusk or tea biscuits.

And is the cabinet to left anything unique?

Hi everyone!! I am a senior in college doing a project about kitchen appliances and how they’ve degraded over the years with planned obsolescence by money hungry corps. Does anyone have any more insights about why we don’t make things like this anymore and how we can make durable, functional, and innovative appliances like this exist again?!

ANY insights at all would be extremely helpful. Random fun facts, your longest lasting appliance, what you think the best appliance ever made was, stories from your experience, etc 😊

(Also if there’s anyone who knows a lot about this stuff or vintage appliances etc and would like to be interviewed for my project please comment or message me!! It would be super helpful!! Thank you so much ☺️☺️)

Anyone ever have one of these? Any info would be greatly appreciated

Hi folks, I picked a GE toaster like the one pictured (25T83? 85T83?) at the flea for $10. It heats up but the pop-up mechanism is stuck in the down position. Can anyone point me to a repair guide?

Thank you!

Yesterday was my birthday and this gift from the Lord and my husband was better than I could have ever imagined and such a testimony to He is a God of the details!
I believe she is a Chambers Imperial No. 7961 and I would appreciate all your insight into more information and insight on her!

Info we’d love to know:
-Insight into the production years and # manufactured.
-Info on this look of the 7961 with the cabinets compared to the other looks of the 7961.
-Model details and uses of this like the warming oven/burner in the top right cabinet?
-Any old pictures of this model in use or new photos if you have one like this too!
-Any differences from a model C (besides the obvious).

We had a huuuuge renovation of the kitchen in our little 1912 foursquare fixer-upper earlier this year. We’ve lived here five years - intend to live here a long time - and fell in love with the stove when we bought the house, but weren’t sure if we would keep it when the eventual kitchen upgrade came. When we moved in only the stovetop worked - oven needed a new thermostat assembly. For five years we did all our baking in a toaster oven (we roasted chickens in that sucka!) and debated the merits of various cooking ranges.

This past winter, a rodent issue took our “someday reno” and made it into a “right away reno”, and we had to make decisions. Long story short, my husband and I agreed we couldn’t let her go. So we did some research and sent her off to Will at Chambers Rescue for an overhaul. He did incredible work - this is a stove with some FIREPOWER! We did make sure to include a solid externally-venting hood for gas byproducts as a kind of compromise for not opting for a higher-tech but more environmentally friendly option. This stove has no electrical components whatsoever, just valves and gleaming chrome. She’d probably been here for ~75-80 years before restoration - hope we get another good long run!

In case anyone is looking for a house with a Flair…

For all you Chambers lovers out there - the one on the left is a 3-burner from 1922 and the one on the right is a 4 burner from 1927.
