$65.00 or whatever offered. Would like to make something on it but would like to see it go to a good home. Stove is virtually in amazing like new condition cosmetically for its age. However, clock and minute timer do not work, oven therm is off and runs "high/hot" 350 deg is min temp turned all the way down, it does run "hotter" if turned up and will maintain. Right rear burner only works on "hi, 2, and lo" but "3 and warm" do not work. All the wires have "continuity" and seem OK, it is NOT the burner. I tried a new one and same thing. I think the pushbutton switch may be "faulty" but can't find a replacement that size. All the other three burners work perfectly, including both the broiler and oven elements.

No warranty or guarantee, item "as is" and is accurately described. Other club members have seen it in person and should they choose to comment may do so.
 
The lower oven rack is reversible to give you exact measurements for the distance between the broil element and the surface of the food being broiled. If you can't get it with the straight rack, you can play with the options offered by the other rack. Lest this sound excessive, the TOL range had a rack with a crank-operated mechanism for adjusting the height of the broiler pan. Hotpoint ranges offered more features over the years than any other range. Among them: They had a roast thermometer that chimed "Tenderly." In the early 50s, when pressure cooking was all the rage, they compensated for their 5 heat selections by having a pressure cooker unit on their TOL range that had a sliding lever infinite switch in the place of the pushbutton control for the unit.
