70s 30" Range in Baltimore

[bluejay]

Harvest gold stove in Baltimore for $75. Spotted on my local CL. The fridge in the ad appears to have had a rather rough life...

Out of curiosity, anyone know what brand this stove is?

That is a Sunray made range. It might bear the Sunray name or some other name but it is not anything you want to consider having. I saw one of these in a store that had a broil element under the oven in a pull out broiler compartment as a way of getting by with using just one element in an electric oven. This is not scraping the bottom of the barrel, but rather the stuff that kind of dries in rings on the sides as the level drops, the crapola of crapola. The fact that the refrigerator is in dreadful shape shows the sort of property, property management and tenants one would expect to encounter when one sees a Sunray range.

My sentiments!!!

Exactly, I would rather have an ingrown toenail...you can get rid of that, I hate to say this, but what is on the market today is better than that! And you all know, I dont like new stuff!!!LOL

Sunray Electric Range

I also would completely agree with comments above, the only thing this range would be good for is an in-store-display where it would never be hooked to power instead of a cardboard mockup of a stove, this only looks like something you might want to actually cook on LOL.

I would hesitate to recommend this as a prop in a reputable store since it would reflect poorly on the quality of their other merchandise. Where it might be most appropriate would be as a prop for those Eunice & Momma skits on the Carol Burnett Show so that if someone yanked the oven door open in some degree of anger, slammed it closed in a fit of rage or opened it carefully to check on a cake that had been put together with great care in the face of constant derision and it fell off the range or one hinge broke so that it would no longer close properly (like at an angle with one side hanging down or something) it not only would not be a loss, but might also add to the hilarity of watching a family that was even more dysfunctional than any of our own. I'll bet if the property department rigged that up after the rehersals, they would have to put pails under the whole cast like they did for the horse when he took a whiz onstage during a song by Carol.

Eunice, your pilot light is out.

Eunice, you've already had 4 beers.
And I've needed every one of them.
