pima67, Worth a shot I guess... I suspect Tech Support will be less enthusiastic about helping with a machine that's over a decade old but we'll see. I would still be interested in hearing from anyone that has heard similar noises from their 8500. Best regards, Scott

I have several Liftmaster 8500 Garage Door Openers. One of them, installed along with 2 others over 10 years ago, started making some noises a few months ago. Initially I thought the noise was coming from the door itself as it traveled up the rails. Now I realize the noises are coming from...

Way overdue for a bump

Sunday - February 5, 2023 A year ago my dad gave me 3 Bluebird Houses that he had made in his woodshop. I mounted them on some trees at various locations in our yard. While each birdhouse had been occupied at some point, a disaster of one kind or another had befallen the eggs inside. My...

AZpilot, Thanks! All I have to do is look at the calendar on our kitchen fridge and I can see that it's probably hopeless until mid-March or so. February is always clobbered... taxes, an annual ski week with Navy buddies, wedding anniversary (45th this year!), son's birthday all happen in...

AZpilot, HA! At least they haven't feathered. Thanks for stopping by. Except for routine maintenance on some of my vehicles and such, life (holidays, etc.) has kept me from doing anything significant in the LBG. Hoping to get back to it soon but I see more obstacles to that on the horizon...

I recently purchased a Tool Cart that had some Akro-Mils 19-Series Cabinet Drawers being used as "drawer organziers". There are a total of 7 Drawers for 3 different 19-Series Cabinets: 19416 6-Drawer Cabinet, 19715 15-Drawer Cabinet & 19909 9-Drawer Cabinet. (4) Akro-Mils 20416 (20-416)...

I purchased a couple of Akro-Mils Hardware Store 28-Drawer "Cabinets" at an Estate Sale. I am looking to replace a missing Akro-Mils 22-251 Drawer/Bin from one of these cabinets. So far I have not located any identifying information on the cabinet itself. The Akro-Mils website...

cvairwerks, I think the Model 30 is older than mine but I think there's a lot of DNA shared between the different models. I will look for some adapters. I'm more likely to be wanting to shake Spray Cans so if I could find an adapter for that I'd be very pleased. After I exercised the machine...

Saturday - December 3, 2022 About 3 weeks ago I attended an Estate Sale. While there I came across a Paint Shaker sitting on a bench. It was quite stout and, when no one else was nearby, I plugged it in to see what would happen. The resulting movement and agitation was what one would expect...

Wednesday - November 30, 2022 Towards the end of September I was working on putting together a "Tube Tamer" to straighten out the RapidAir MaxLine Tubing I had on hand from years ago. Using this previously acquired tubing would have allowed me to "close the loop" on the compressed air...

Continued... I clamped the welded washers to the tube and put a couple of tack welds in place to hold everything in place. Even for me this welding job was pretty rough but I was needing to get the job done and I'm pretty sure the welding is good enough for this task. A test...

Saturday - November 26, 2022 Despite living within the city limits of Peachtree City, GA, I, like the few neighbors on my street, am fortunate to have a little acreage associated with my property. That information may be helpful to help visualize the story that follows. Almost exactly a month...
