So our B & D space saver can opener stopped working.
This is maybe the third over thirty years so no complaint there.
I thought I'd buy a new one. You can't find the under the
cabinet type. I guess they went out of style.
So I go to Ebay hoping for new old stock.
Some are asking hundreds of dollars for them.
This is an item that went for $50 or so. One
seller had their price over $500!!!!!!
Used ones are going for $50 to $70.
So I go back to mine. I found a piece of plastic broke
off but I was able to weld a piece of sheet metal
onto the other side to restore function.
Seems I have to "fixalot" these days.
Geesh!

You DO UNDERSTAND that even Off-Topic should be at least somewhat automotive related!

any pics or links to what you have? A few places by me have vintage stuff of the sorts and might be a viable resource.

Maybe he was planning to install it in the trunk of the Beretta

Or he's just a bored old man with nothing else to do except trying to figure out how to open the Stewed Prunes!

Ha!

I suppose I should have said that I never thought I'd use the welder
that I bought for repair of my cars, on a kitchen appliance.
Sorry you didn't like my post but I thought it was okay to post miscellaneous
ramblings in off topic.

Off topic subject
Feel free to post about anything here, just keep it work safe.

I think this topic fits fine...

On topic (in off topic lol)...

I remember the under counter ones you mention, my parents had (have) one in their kitchen. I wish I had one in my kitchen!

Friend of mine, their parents had one. I thought it was funny when ever it was used there cat would prowl the area.
we had the mechanical off brand that mounted underside. However, my folks did have a sweet Dust Buster mounted to the wall in the closet. was an anniversary gift from the grand parent. Sure made lugging that eureka limited for small cleanup jobs!

My God we have devolved into the Black and Decker Forum!

ROFL!!

And I'M the "old guy"?

I may have one in my dead Mother's locker if you want me to go look for it.

Along with some Fizzies, a couple of canisters of Carter's Little Liver Pills. and an Easy-Bake Oven or two.

Know what they are going for these days?

So what did you do automotive-wise that might be relative to the Forum today?

Well I put my new dome light in and ran new speaker wires.

Not much automotive wise today, I received in and left feedback for the 2nd Doorman 800-401 which, with recent son in law, we'll be installing with a new radiator today, (Saturday), on my daughter's 96-z26.

Thanks again to Corvetteberretta for identifying the name of the part.

No one needs can-openers anymore anyway it seems -most (at least many) of the cans out there now have their own openers (pull rings, and scored lids for 'easy open') built in... Lazy.

Of course, I also remember when you needed a can-opener ("spout") for engine oil! There, now that is automotive-related... As well as old-person related.
