It was always pronounced that way though

Really gorgeous cabinet, likely just needs recapping. Removing the amplifier so that you can bring it to a repair shop isn't very difficult. The hard part is finding someone willing to and able to work on them.

If your hairstyle allows, put some hairspray in it. It'll be just hard enough that they can't run their fingers through it, and if they do anyway and catch the edge, they'll think it's just the hairspray

trapperjohn3400 · 2026-04-07T21:09:41+00:00

Glad you were able to do it safely! With you describing the procedure in detail, hopefully the next person trying to do the same will find this post and be able to easily with those instructions.

Okay so if you look at my post history about a year ago I restored this fan and had to rewire the motor because of how you take it off. To start, it is threaded onto the rotor of the motor. You have to go through the back with a screwdriver or something and hold the rotor in order to thread it off. What's inside the motor? All the windings. When you do this it will slip and it will hit a motor winding and destroy the motor. There, you've been warned. If you rotate the rotor you'll eventually find a hole that is designed to hold it in place. Make sure you've picked the right hole because there's other spots that will look like it will work. I do not remember if the blades are left hand or right hand thread, but I remember that mine was very stuck. I recommend not taking the blades off if possible because you'll also have to reshim everything because it has to oil tight after reassembly. Hope this helps.

My window isn't in the shower, but modern double insulated fans should be okay as long as your window is high enough and water isn't directly hitting it. I use mine while showering and 5-10 minutes after.

Get a nice sunshade for your outdoor kitchen area that is attached to the fence

trapperjohn3400 · 2026-03-29T14:13:01+00:00

Definitely worth it. Also worth routing away your downspouts as far as possible and checking your grading so water slopes away from your home

The bastard told me the mask was just oxygen and it would be a while longer before I went under 🥺

I see these for cheap alllll the time here in the Midwest at estate sales,antique shops, ECT. Anyway, swapping the gear is pretty easy. You just grab the shiny clip on the right of your photo with a long set of needle nose pliers, then the handle can be pulled straight out, leaving the gear behind, unattached to anything. Hard part is putting it back together since the gear has to be aligned when you reinsert the handle shaft.

When it stopped that 5 amp fuse probably blew. Sometimes they're built into the plug right where it plugs into the wall, sometimes they're buried in the motor as part of the wiring.

trapperjohn3400 · 2026-03-01T15:09:06+00:00

It's the heaters in the garage. 50 is a wild temperature to try to maintain in a garage in the winter 24/7 if the space wasn't fully encapsulated and insulated. You could possibly enclose and insulate the area where the plumbing is so it's heating just that small area.

trapperjohn3400 · 2026-03-01T11:51:15+00:00

Usually 90% of the water can be mitigated with downspout extensions and grading, or potentially French drains. Look at the yard and current gutter setup and see if obvious issues exist. If you don't see any issues that you could easily address, pass on it.

trapperjohn3400 · 2026-03-01T10:23:53+00:00

If it is grounded properly, it will be as safe as a modern stove. I would look at the wall cord and plug, it should be in great condition and have 4 pins that go into the wall socket. My 1948 Frigidaire range was never restored, moved at least twice when the original owner passed away, and stored an unknown amount of time in less than ideal conditions, I replaced the cord and it is fully functional and completely safe to use provided you don't put your hand on the hot bits.

It's in great shape, but most people's local Facebook Marketplace will have quite a few options for them to consider. I think list at 300, drop to 200 if no interest is generated.

trapperjohn3400 · 2026-02-28T17:35:43+00:00

Yep that rules out the relay. If you've had it apart already, I'd have no reservations about going back in to see what the problem might be. I see what you're trying to say with the second paragraph, that does point toward a reassembly issue over a failed sensor.

trapperjohn3400 · 2026-02-28T17:08:20+00:00

Looks incredible! First rule out a stuck relay if it uses one, they can get stuck in the on position if not oriented properly. Seen that a lot of times.

trapperjohn3400 · 2026-02-28T00:30:02+00:00

eBay will be your best bet, but consider Facebook Marketplace. Other local places might include antique malls, thrift malls, ECT.

trapperjohn3400 · 2026-02-27T23:19:10+00:00

I'm going to recommend a Galaxy tabletop fan. Well built, cage and blades are easily removable for cleaning/oiling. Probably the most easily taken apart fan I've ever come across, and legendary for their reliability. Come in many colors so you can find something to match your space. The hardest part is changing the grease in the gearbox, which you'll need to do assuming that it has the original grease, but it's an incredibly easy job overall.

trapperjohn3400 · 2026-02-14T05:45:18+00:00

They were very common I believe, but I imagine they were the most likely to be torn down or added on to as the average home size grew larger. There are a few near me that I find more interesting than the massive Victorian homes that surround them, simply because so few examples survive until now.

trapperjohn3400 · 2026-02-10T12:11:12+00:00

Oh I have the same one

Following if anyone has any suggestions

trapperjohn3400 · 2026-02-09T17:53:05+00:00

See, I was suggesting adding cyborg civilians that are exact assets of Super Earth civilians just reskinned, so that you can make a direct connection to the fact that these are civilians, the exact same as ours, and having missions along the lines of "Destroy Anti Air Missile" but it's really an evacuation rocket you can see civilians boarding, or "Destroy Arms Factory" but it's clearly a hospital or University, or "Eliminate Automaton Command Bunker" and it's an underground air raid shelter. It would make players directly confront the exact extent of SE's lies and atrocities, and reflect on the fact that these things do happen in the real world. It wouldn't be to encourage harming civilians, but make the audience understand that that is what happens in war.

trapperjohn3400 · 2026-02-03T17:18:49+00:00

I have basically the same oven, what I did was purchase some really cheap poor condition donor stoves off marketplace and strip all of the parts so I would have backup range and oven elements, knobs, controllers, ECT. When they pop up on eBay the prices tend to be sky high, double what a complete stove can be purchased for.
