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 (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:

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

Is there anything else you’d recommend?

TIA!

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.
