So, if I'm crazy enough to consider rechroming part of my "new" 1969 GE P-7 range -- specifically, the trim around the oven door window -- can anyone recommend a place, or places, for getting that done? Thanks in advance, Dean

I think this range is kind of cool looking, and it seems to be in great shape. It would fit nicely in a basement spot I have. But, it's way too expensive ($500) and too far away. :( And, isn't the oven missing a shelf...

Hi all, Some of you know that I have a 1966 40" GE P-7 range. Well, I decided to "upgrade", and I bought a new range! Don't worry, it's still vintage. :) It's a 1969 J487 40" GE P-7 range. I wanted to upgrade for the window on the main oven door, though I also like the infinite (rotary) heat...

Okay, so this 1975 GE P-7 range is not a TOL model -- no Sensi-Temp burner or rotisserie, and minimal (not "deluxe") chrome around the oven window. But still, it's in pretty good shape, and only 20 bucks! If I lived closer, I'd be tempted to pick it up as a parts range, although it's new enough...

I need some advice from Craigslist buyers. Twice over the past year, I've responded by email to a Craigslist ad. One ad was for used audio equipment, and the second -- very recently -- was for a vintage appliance. In each case, I received no response whatsoever from the sellers, even though I...

Folks,   Ever since we've owned it, my 1966 GE J486 P*7 40-inch range has never done a great job of self-cleaning. I finally decided to measure the temperature during cleaning, using a digital thermometer and high-temperature thermocouple (rated to 1832F!).   During a cleaning cycle, the...

Hi folks, My pantry contains an old electric warming oven. It has no markings that I can see. However, the house generally had all GE appliances, so it might be a GE. Based on what I know about the history of the house, I'd guess the oven dates from the late '30s or early '40s. It's 24 inches...

Hi all, I’m the proud owner of a 1966 GE J486 40-inch range. We’ve recently been upgrading our kitchen appliances to stainless, and I was thinking of replacing the old GE with a new Frigidaire Professional stainless electric range. The cost of the Frigidaire (~$2000, discounted) made me...
