Have you been told that it's not practical to repair major appliances any more - they should just be replaced?. I get a real kick out of sharing the trade secrets and insider tricks I've learned over the years - with YOU, the 'handy' homeowner!. You just won't find the practical, hands-on information on this site anywhere else! It's NOT the usual "is it plugged in?" or "is there power to the outlet?"
I published the DRSNews, a monthly email newsletter sharing what I've learned, for over a decade, but since I'm trying to "semi-retire" (sort of) have decided to discontinue writing it. But you'll find newsletter back issues and appliance repair tips and articles here on the site, so feel free to dive in, no email signup required! Dave, I work in partnership with Whirlpool and it is rare that I see individual appliance repair sites that are really helpful.
Your site exceeds helpful! We really appreciate you providing valuable resources to appliance owners. Fantastic site for DIY-ers, and we will be recommending.

First of all, a huge THANKS to all of you who have purchased parts from me in the 27 years I've been selling them, and the 15 years I've sold them here on my own website.
I can't put into words how encouraging you've been to me, and I've been blessed to have made so many new friends this way.
I'll still be directly selling a few hard-to-find and vintage parts and a few I fabricate myself, as well as repairing vintage Sunbeam Mixmasters and auto toasters, selling vintage service manuals, etc.
I've just started working on the list below, which will connect you with a very reliable wholesaler's store on Ebay, a family-owned business with whom I've dealt for over 40 years, and highly recommend.

These manuals are high-resolution scans of originals unless otherwise noted, and are in Adobe's pdf format.
A really handy feature of pdf is the ability to zoom in and examine details just not visible in ordinary hardcopy.
Another big advantage: NO SHIPPING!
These manuals can be directly downloaded, with no mailing costs and no waiting for the mailman.
I do make them available on CD if desired, but highly recommend the downloads unless your Internet connection's really slow.
I've made a note beside the few really large ones, and would usually recommend the CD version for those.

Ampex
Report
Here's a list of the vintage Ampex audio equipment manuals I'm currently either offering or working on for sale.
They're in Adobe's pdf format for instant download.
This is a really nice format that allows 'zooming' in to closely inspect details that just aren't visible in print.
Unless otherwise noted, these are direct high-resolution scans of original manuals, not 3rd or 4th generation copies.
In Adobe pdf format, so you can simply download them with no shipping charges.
They're also available on a Priority-Mailed CD for $5 more.

Speed Queen
Report
Here's a complete 37 page Speed Queen parts and service manual for those great old wringer washers.
Covers models FW2070, FW2071, FW2072, FW2073, FW3090, FW3091, FW3092, FW3093, FW6132, and FW9053, but the Speed Queens changed very little over the years, so much in this manual applies to all of their wringer washers.
This is a direct scan and remaster of my original manual, not a 3rd or 4th generation copy.
In Adobe pdf format, so you can simply download it instantly - with no shipping charges!

Sunbeam
Report

Another original (1951) service manual for these great old mixers.
If you'd rather order by another method, live outside the US, or have any questions, please contact me today.
