Those were in some of the grade schools i've had the... ehm, pleasure of attending some years ago. http://tinyurl.com/z28jt43 It's been a very long time. -- MID: Hmmm. I most certainly don't understand how I can access a copy of a zip file but then not be able to unzip it so I can watch it. That seems VERY clever! http://al.howardknight.net/msgid.cgi?ID=145716711400 heck when i started working in 1975, i repaired office machines, including ditto machines that made those blue copies, the alcohol smelled good. mimeograph machines black copies. kinda messy. mimiograph machines are still in use today, they are called risograph. basically a automated mimieo machine. sold and repaired coated paper copiers, both wet toner and dry poweder machines, overhead projectors, thermofax machines. some system 80 teaching machines that used a record and card guilde.. currently i repair and sell laminating machines that put plastic on paper |

Actually I have an old Kenmore non defrost with coils on the back and they are not that deep so you can clean them and still get them close enough to the wall! They do not get dirty as the ones under which are impossible to clean from that front guard. You actually have to open the back panel and clean that way but still they are dirty and greasy. The only true way to clean them is to have someone tilt them back on a hand truck and you vacuum and wash them that way .First one side and then the other. There can be frost free with coils on the back and they are absolutely more quiet as there is no need for a fan to cause the air flow needed for evaporation. IN a WORD they SUCK! -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...sh-257822-.htm |

I agree, it's such a pain.to clean all the time believe the coils in the back were much better .I forgot to unplug the unit and I broke the fan blade with the vacuum and within two years whole thing died. Only lasted not quite 5 years. What happened to the fridges that lasted 10, 15, and even 20 years? -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...sh-257822-.htm |
