Title: New Here from Pennsylvania
Post by: nadelma on March 07, 2004, 10:26:00 PM
Is everyone here from the west, I live in Pennsylvania and never see any posts from the east coast.
We just bought a 78, 440 rear kitchen. We are remodeling the inside as everything is original and has a musty odor.
It is in great shape for being so old.
I tried to start the refrigerator yesterday and it wouldn't start, any suggestions?   (//images/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

Hi and wellcome yes there are a lot of clippers back east but the reason theres so many out here is they were all made here  as for the refer you might have to bleed out the air in the lines the best way Iv found is turn it on gas and have someone hold the gas plunger while I use a propane light on the flame tube sometimes it takes a min or two to get going after that it should light right up you might have the same problem with the water heater if it's been shut down a long time  (//images/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

Nadelma....

So. Fla. here, and someone said there's another Clip down around here somewhere, and I think there's one around Atlanta too.

Be patient with the fridge... like Jim said, just takes time to bleed the air out before your gas gets in there and lights up.

Re: the musty smell.... do you have access to an ozone generator?

Nadelma,

There is a member roster in the new member package you receive upon becoming a member. It list the members by state. I strongly suggest becoming a member.

I'm in Houston, Texas and there are 6 or 7 owners in Texas.

Happy Clippering.

I must say, I too am fond of the musty smell!  Just knock down the visible mold with some vinegar/water, set one of those desicant moisture absorbers like Dri-Z-Air and spray some Febreeze.  Sounds like the upholstery may be too rotten to save, call me strange but I like the original patterns!  (//images/smiles/icon_wink.gif)  
I didn't see any members from  Pennsylvania but there is one in Massachusetts, one in North Carolina, Ohio and Indiana. Welcome aboard!
