Yep - we had one like that too in the 60's and I also remember those being used at the Navy bases......great score JC!

Very cool!

Thanks.

It works better than any of the modern plastic fans I have.

Beautiful.

We had a GE fan just like that one. From what I remember anyway. Anyway we were using it one night and we smelled smoke. Turned out the fan overheated and dripped some kind of oil onto the carpet. We unplugged it and took it outside. I wanted to keep it and see what happen, but Ms. Rocket tossed it.

Another score from my Mom's neighborhood this morning. I think it's a piano bench. In pretty good shape - hinges work very well.

Might use on one of my covered decks as a place to sit and to store magazines in.

Yard sale find. Don't need this but I can find uses for it - an older Park Tools bike repair stand for ten bucks. Needs a good clean and lube but it's like new and it came with a bunch of lubes and greases in a tool box.

Great score, why can't I find a deal like that.

Really nice score there, Herr Oberst! Love the vintage/old school stuff - if nothing else than for it's historical value! The box full of lubricants is icing on the cake! :)

Saw this on a friend's FB page and thought of you Baz..... SmileWavy

Ha ha - so true! And I love those Corgi's Craig. They're herding dogs, ya know... ;)

LOL, hilarious.

We just bought a working Chambers stove, model BZ (1948). We paid towards the higher end, but then we got a 75 year old stove that has no dings, chipped enamel, etc..., and when they unplugged it 2 months ago, it was working. Most of the stuff that you find that's cheaper is dented, dinged, chipped, and has pitted, rusted-through chrome.

^^^ NICE score, Steve. How much was it? :)

1k. I probably could have talked him down, but didn't try. It felt like a good price to me considering the shape, so I paid.

Wow that's a fantastic price! New ones are going for MUCH more than that and they don't work nearly as good as the classics like you got. CONGRATS, buddy!!! SmileWavy

Scored these dreamers from a garage sale for 5$ each. It was an old couple pretty much all they had was their kids old board games and these. All of it was from the 70s they said they never had a sale before. I dont know the brand of the yellow one the head badge and chain guard are gone. I already got the red one cleaned up a bit and working . The yellow one i think im going to leave as it is but the crank is bent and has odd pedals so ill work on that. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1664834771.JPG

One person's trash...another's treasure. Isn't that the ultimate recycling? Here's a fun video...a youngster repairing a free rollaway combo. Probably his first...good job, kid. Hope it lasts him a lifetime. (edit) Kinda wish somebody had shown him the trick to removing the drawers. Pretty simple...slide in an old hacksaw blade to push in a tab.

Professionals in my neighborhood can’t be bothered to fix things - it’s a throwaway society. I got this power washer off the curb on trash day, checked it over, determined that it was overfilled with oil, drained and refilled with new oil to proper level, and it started on the third pull! Sold it today on CL for $120. Third power washer I harvested in the last year. The others were a Simpson 3000 psi with Honda GCV engine and a J D 3300 psi unit. Replaced the carbs on those and they’re good as new. Just amazed at what gets thrown out these days...

Scored this old Park work stand, I actually used this stand back in the 80s.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1665079263.jpg
