New Questions: jack springs,upholstery,microwave,fridge

[Jeff Miller]

Microwave: I'm told that there is still a Sharp manufactured, one
sold by Sears, Elmer should have the model number on that one.

The jack springs: On our '88, I found it easiest to put the bottom of
the spring on first, then the top with a prybar. there shouldn't be
any s-hooks.

That is the wide-rib wall/ceiling materal, it was available a couple
of years ago from BB, not sure if it still is. Good luck.

3801 Refrig: I have at least one set of all of the electtronics,
burner, etc. for that unit (donated by Bill and I don't remember who
else). If you need any of it, I'd love to see it find a good home. I
threw away the last pile of used Dometic electronics, ... I'm told
the 3801 is an expensive board so I've resisted tossing it so far.

I will be surprised if the original refrigerator will stay more than
25degrees above outside temp. It will probably freeze well, but the
refrigerator section will be weak, so on an 85degree day, ... the
math is ugly for your lunch meat. You won't find out until it is warm
out, the refrigerator is loaded with your favorite foods, and you're
on a trip. Replace the refrigerator, or at least the cooling unit if
you have a particular love for that unit.
