I saw this on the Chicago CL and had to share. I am trying to continue the Rodney-mania here on QB. http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/atq/3429761400.html It may not be as pretty without the pink controller though. :D ~G~
The Rodney in that CL add is identical to my American Home machine except for the color. I wonder which Japanese factory made it: Joe |

I have been working on a Montgomery Ward machine - it is molded 'Happy' in the bottom end of things. I have a clone molded 'Riccar' in the exact same places - go figure. I'm starting to look under them for that kind of thing. I may post some pics later today. Well if I remember.

Miriam, those wires looked melted together, who knows why. But, did you see the machine had been serviced in 1995? We are trying to figure out how to get it open so I can clean and oil inside? Cathy, this machine is cast in one piece from the top to the front. In order to get the top off to oil the machine, we'd have to take off the foot pressure release knob on top? I don't know how complicated it would be to put it back? There is no other way to oil the thing? Have you dealt with a machine like this before? I am afraid to use it much without oiling/cleaning it? I can oil the bottom and inside the back door, but there is no way to get oil in the front or top? Nancy |

I've run into this bubble gum mess with wiring on several machines. I'm not sure but I think it's a chemical reaction to the old latex insulation and machine oil. The motor wires in my HOTHER did that and it was stored in it's case on a shelf.

Hehehehe, I will tell him what you said about the machine - even with the pink controller! I can't tell you what he said, though, this is a family forum!:eek:

My Rod was just incredulous that anyone would name a machine Rodney - now two different versions? How funny is that!!!!! I'd get that one too, if I were within driving distance!
