Aside from the fact that the surface burners are all 9000 btu, any other negatives about this range? (I wish the back panel lit up.)
Thank you
Thank you

Thet were good sellers on the used market. Landlords loved 'em. Usually all that was wrong was the oven ignitor.
Are you sure the console doesn't light up?

It works now, but are replacement igniters available if it stops working?
The only switch I saw was for the light inside the oven.

I’m sure it works, but it’s very basic
It’s nothing that I would ever want as an appliance enthusiast, I would look for something of higher quality that’s easier to clean that has a waste high broiler, maybe a self cleaning oven and a little bit more style but if you just want basic range for a light use I suppose this would work well.
Yes, the bake igniter is still readily available.

Looks like the one some neighbors bought in the early-'80's...
It easily outlasted all their other appliances, hardly needing any repairs and worked perfectly right to the end when they just wanted a new stove...

John, thanks - you always bring me down, haha.
I definitely hate that the broiler is on the floor, but on the other hand I rarely broil anything and I have an electric range in the basement if the need arises.
I like this range because it's slightly interesting looking, clean, and not too expensive. My dream gas ranges have been out of reach price-wise because of the shipping cost and the uncertainty of not being able to see them in person to confirm condition.
Dave - thanks, good to know.
Still debating

I agree.
Nice looking Mid-mod stove in good condition.

price...
The price isn't right at the moment, they started at $500 and dropped to $300 after a week, which is still too much for this range in my opinion.
I found another one nearby - a Roper - still has the floor level broiler but it's decent looking and clean. They sent me a video showing the whole thing but I can't figure out how to include it here.

I doubt they're going to get $300.
Make an offer and see what happens. Usually works better if you're there in person and ready haul it away.
