Everything is up. Expectations are down.
I was just fixing my toaster — a 70 year old Sunbeam Radiant Control Toaster. I could not afford to buy one of these today. My parents bought one. I make more than my parents ever did, according to the government, the lying bastard government. The toaster is okay, it just needed a thorough cleaning.
$133.99 on ebay is the lowest price for a functional one. --- About 7 are listed as for repair and parts only. Priced much less. I see there is a website devoted to them
This past weekend I was looking to rig up a filter for the latest round of the Samsung washing machine battle.
I found what looked like a good inline kit and pretty cheap.
The bummer is none of the local big box stores had the nipple/union to connect so that’s on order.
Last week, Samsung did some more warranty repairs. Same problem. Brown particles eventually forming in the tub. No matter how many self cleaning cycles are ran, they form. I think they are few and not worth complaining about. The spouse is almost Adrian Monk when it comes to washing clothes sees it differently.
The parts changed this time were like the parts changed the time before.
I’m trying the filter idea out of frustration.
It could be a quirk in the plumbing. I never claimed to be a plumber. No other unusual stuff at the other taps. I’m picky about my clear stuff.
If the filter fails, mrs. Monk might have to deal with a commercial service or take a chance on a working used machine a relative has that I will get to move by myself. I have zero help to do anything.
