After nearly 15 years of blogging about the retro, I have stepped back from posting regularly.

can you postal mail me a color chart for your toilet, round, up to 17 1/2 inches tall, including the seat that flushes well? I have a 1995 Mansfield 130-160 ULF Toilet, standard tank,1.6 gif-6.0 Lpf, ULF, gravity fed flushing action. It doesn’t flush well at all. Keeps plugging up and my plumber said the design is now improved. How is it improved, please?

Pam…HELP!
Any thoughts finding a vintage NuTone push on knob??? ( black )
It’s to replace the vise grip clamped on the metal stem for the timer on a retro NuTone Bathroom Exhaust fan? It’s on the wall. It only turns on the timer, as the wall switch turns on the fan itself. Looks so tacky!! 🙂
Thanks So Much!!

The listing; Build an Eichler ranch house, 8 original design house plans available today…………was available a few years ago but today
I’m told Berkeley pulled the plans and no one is able to sell them,
but Berkeley. when I contact Berkeley they claim to not have the
plans……..what did they do, go up in smoke? Sort of like living
in Cambria on the Central Coast, “the gangplank syndrome” I’m
here and I don’t want you to move here. Any suggestions? Or at
least a response.
Pam Kueber says
Hi Wil, I don’t know the answer to this. As I recall, I wrote the story… then a few years later the company with the plans asked me to take it down because the plans were no longer available. Check this story out, though: https://retrorenovation.com/2018/10/16/84-original-retro-midcentury-house-plans-still-buy-today/

Looking for a case 3000 toilet for a 1952 mid century home designed by a famous architect needs to be perfect any help locating one would be super awesome thanks
Pam Kueber says
No single answer to this — start hunting ceaselessly. Salvage places and craigslist nationally are likely your best bets. Good luck. Pam

Pam Kueber says
I am not an expert on this, David, I suggest you go to a really good tile store and talk to them about the solution – they can show you.

Are you aware of any upholstery fabric that is a nice jadeite, fire king-y green? Moss and olive are the current trend, and I just can’t find a good vintage green. Thanks!

My husband and I are going to make a retro chrome and laminate kitchen table w/ double chrome legs. We have been able to buy everything we need except for the double leg caps for the bottom of the table legs. I don’t know where else to go. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks ~Fran W
