As my grandfather was getting up in years (he passed at 84) he was replacing many of the movements with quartz movements. I think the repairs were getting to be too much work and too costly on the old movements for him. Only guessing, though. The last time I was at Grandma and Grandpa's house...
The closer you get to Milwaukee, the stronger the beer culture is. There was a time it was the brewery capital of the world.
I did start a brewery collecting thread on here some time ago.
Yes, it doesn't chime like a regular clock. I read what all the chimes meant, but I forget. It's a beautiful old Howard Miller, but I would like to replace the movement.
Thank you. I love them very much, and miss my Grandpa every day. Grandma coming to see my house for the first time this...
We have a winner :p
Thank you! Works, too! The sofa was my Great-Grandfather's. My Great-Grandparents lived in the lower level of my Grandparents' house, while my dad was growing up. He tells stories of playing on it as a kid. It came from the old house on 3rd st. before that. It was in the...
My mom had the rear one explode on my dad's old '85 Bronco (which was fairly new at the time lol )
My '87 Caprice Estate must have had it before my time, too. There's little glass pieces inside the tailgate to this day.
Nice! 3.08 gears are nice highway gears, too!
Thanks!
Oh, you haven't even seen all of them lol We do live in an area with quite a beer culture!
Thank you! I've been into clocks all my life, "clock" was my first word, actually. I have many clocks, mostly vintage, many belonged to my grandfather. Some he built, some he bought. He built many...
I spent the last week on Vacation from work. I did a lot of work in the yard, and outside, and on the new truck, but managed to do some work in the house, too.
For quite some time, an old Console TV with a blanket over it has served as a table in the dining room. Well, I had enough of looking...
Some recent finds:
Actually got these from a buy-sell-trade page on Facebook. Came from an old lady who was going into assisted living, or had passed away. Her children weren't really clear. One thing was clear from the lamps, someone in that house was a heavy smoker!
Another buy-sell-trade...
Thanks! It's a half-ton, single cab, long box, 2wd, 350 4bbl/TH350. I really like that it's factory A/C, cruise, tilt wheel, an the embedded antenna. Makes it a bit less "run of the mill."
Turned out to be the plastic gear in the governor on the trans. A ten dollar part, and we're back in...
Hoping so, as long as I can do something about the RUST!!!!!
Besides cosmetics, it runs great, but needs some tranny attention. Sometimes, it doesn't want to shift out of first. I've found if I start out in L2, instead of drive, then shift into drive, after 2nd gear, it'll shift.
Worst case...
My mother and I went in half and half on this one, today. We bought it from my sister and brother in law.
It's a '77 Chevy Scottsdale. Needs plenty of work and will certainly keep us busy lol
PS: Mom is camera shy lol
You're a saint with a heart of gold to take on the care of another person, while already taking care of a loved one. It speaks volumes to your character!
