My dad taught me everything about fixing stuff, etc. My husband was a genius at what he did, but Mr. Magoo at home!

Oh, I didn’t mean the knob only — the front knob. I meant the innards
of that baby. (See the photo).

Interesting that you are aware of these things. You’re a regular
mechanic too. Your husband taught you well.

I think when they sell their “industrial strength” ovens, it’s the same
oven but not using their genuine plastic.

Thank you again for this. Did you make it to prayer meeting this week? I was still recovering from that virus from the prior week and I had planned on attending, but I had to go on Wednesday, next day for eye surgery for a cataract and I didn’t want to chance it. It went very well, due to many prayers sent up for me. I will call you later. We plan on going next Tuesday.

My father was a chrome plater for O’Keeffe and Merritt in his younger days. The pride and joy of my mother’s kitchen was her O’Keefe and Merritt stove. White baked enamel and shiny glistening chrome – and weighted like a tank. Built to last till the second coming! I called on a customer on Atlantic Blvd. just south of Whittier Blvd. in East L.A. and there is a small 2nd Hand Store next to his office that sells refurbished stoves and ovens; and there sat a ‘new’ stove that could have come out of my mother’s kitchen! They sell every gleaming model that you could imagine – and in all colors and sizes – also other brands. Fun to see. That’s when things were made to last. My school friend still drives a Model A Ford….
