I live in a historic neighborhood where more than 2,000 houses are 100+ years old. Almost all the houses have gas appliances. In 100+ years only a few have burned down. Mostly from arson, or old wiring. The house I grew up in was built in 1910 and still has it's original gas pipes, 112 years...

I didn't realize this was a dug-up thread. I don't know about this particular oven, but my Magic chef oven can perform all functions with the clock internally disconnected. It can perform all non-clock functions with the whole stove unplugged because the pilot lights are always burning, and the...

To clean the pilot light... I would push a toothpick or needle around in the orifice, and then blow it out with shop/compressed air. It ought to stay lit then.

These were either kept in separate rooms or are not a true set. The plastic on the washer is sun/smoke faded where it isn't on the dryer. Also, years have faded the blue panel separate hues.

Some refrigerators of the 60's had trim around them to fill with decorator panels/wallpaper. That is the only thing I can think of. It also looks like it has a foot pedal, and really a massive freezer for it's age.

Lots of features...

I should've known the cooktop doesn't match. The odd counter around it is a dead giveaway. The original must've been tall enough to make up the at least 6" difference in cabinet height.

Seller is looking for offers, cool looking set. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/621393099184610/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks

While i've never worked on an ironrite, I have worked on a ton of electromechanical machines like this. The chances of you having enough hours on that to actually wear out the bearings is slim. Most likely it just needs oil and will continue on for decades to come. If you have the know how to...

That westinghouse laundromat looks so much smaller than I expected. The set I once saw on "Father knows best" looked massive in my memory.

Wait out for the right freezer, and trade them at a later date. Trust me you'll need that freezer. I used to have an rca-whirlpool fridge a lot like this one. Every time I went to the store, I purposefully had to not walk through the freezer section. There just isn't much space in there...

Era and color-centric. 70's yellow and brown Majors: Magic chef concept series gas range, coppertone with chrome top. Sears sxs refrigerator, coppertone. Maytag washer & dryer, harvest gold with coppertone front panels. Smalls: Hamilton beach blender, harvest gold with brown cover. Sunbeam...

I've done a search in all of those areas. Nothing upright that is large enough, working, AND vintage. That is a great set, and I hope you get the freezer too!
