All my loans are sub 5% so I’ve been putting my extra cash in Alliant Credit Union’s 5.15% APY 18month CDs. No point in paying them down if I can basically beef up my emergency fund as a bonus.

Used Canner - Advise Requested in c/[email protected]
[–] HoneyMonster 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

After a bit more research it looks like I can get the 910 running with $20 in parts as there are no extension offices that test gauges near me. The parts would be a new safety blow off and gauge. They do not sell replacement safety blow offs for the 921. This 921 seems to be older, it does not have a date stamp on it to tell exactly how old either. They do sell new lids though which with the gauge and new blow off would put me back $80 there. I’m looking at a ballpark $120 repair shipped for these bad boys!

Used Canner - Advise Requested (i.imgur.com)
 

(Humble brag intro)

Today I was able to score used All American 921 and 910 canners for $35 picked up! The canners were sold but the niece of the original owner with no known history.

In doing my research, my understanding is that this brand is built solid! That said, does anyone have experience giving an all American canner a tune up?

My general approach:

  1. Inspect for any structural issues
  2. Take everything apart and clean it
  3. Clean and buff the body with a scouring pad (not steel wool)
  4. Replace the safety blow plug

Is there anything else you’d recommend?

TIA!

I haven’t used liftoff but Memmy is also quite nice!

I hold mine for 1 year then sell at the current price no matter what, then buy S&P 500.

My logic is that while my company gives me a 15% discount and pays a 4% dividend so long as the company does not lose more than roughly 19% a year I come out ahead. That said, I have a rolling $25,000 in stock and my job with that company so I am eager to diversify.
