Here's the oven open. We were lucky enough to get the booklet, warranty card and World's Fair hang tag!!! The oven still had the original bo (not pictured).
OK, I"m having a blind moment (no comments from the peanut gallery who know me). Is this a Tappan creation? That's the only guess I can come up with. And it is a hot loooking piece of equipment, just like the 4 men are.

The flip-up cover on the cooktop is also the down-draft fan hood. There's a pull-out hook-up for the oven to vent into it as well!!

Here's the inside of the oven.
BTW, Steve, hopefully the wires make sense now?!!!

That is a real stunning
Set Up. I had completely forgotten that you mentioned a
Jenn-Aire being on stand-by and didn't recall that you had
mentioned the vintage. It looks beautiful. Is one of the ovens convection?

WOW, yes dears, NOW the wiring makes sense.
Where ever did you snatch that up? ENJOY.
How does it do simmering?
NIB? YEEEE-HAWWW!
How does it do with larger stockpots?
Is that a range-hood under the left oven?
AMAZING. TOTALLY amazing!
You guys are the trend-setters!

Dayum!
For a while there, I was afraid you were going to install a new cooktop and oven. Whew!
That is one sweeeeet setup you got there! Gotta see pix of the control knobs and maybe a scan or two from the instruction manual...
Congrats! That's an absolutely super kitchen!

Hey Darrel,
The small oven is a baking oven and the larger oven is for roasting/broiling and is vented (or as Jenn-Air calls it...Air Conditioned) to remove smoke and fumes. The large oven also has a two position broiler which you can see the white socket in the middle of the back wall. Neither is convection. What I love about the oven is that EVERYTHING comes out, including the back wall of the broiling oven and the rack rails, so that you have a simple box to clean. Everything but the two largest racks fit in the dishwasher. Clean-up should be a snap!!
"Where ever did you snatch that up? ENJOY."...Thanks, Toggle, I tripped over it at the Brimfield Antiques show. I looked down to se what I tripped over and nearly fell over with suprize
The cook top was not in a box but the oven was still packed in it's factory crate.
We haven't had time to cook on it, yet, but we will let you know how it is.
Thanks , everyone, for the nice comments and the encouragements. We still have a ways to go to finish up the remodel and we will post a picture of the finished product.

OOOOPS! I forgot to answer that!
The silver thingy that is comming down from the left oven is a ventilation connector that simply slides forward and drops down to connect with the ventilation system in the backsplash. It gets lifted up and pushed back in when not in use. It worked quite well on the bit of smoke that rose when we fired up the oven. The smoke just went to the back of the oven and vanished! When we opened the door there was no lingering smell of smoke!
There is also a safety switch in the range top that will not allow ANYTHING to turn on until the back splash is fully opened. Then a red light comes on allowing you to use your burners.
"You guys are the trend-setters!"....Thanks. Maybe for 1964!!! LMAONow I am off the the beauty parlor to get me one of them "my hair is so big it went condo" hairstyles I don't know anything about this unit but I have to immagine that it was quite a big deal in it's day. Jenn Aire knows nothing about the history of it and one member, here, feels that it might have only been available to contractors. I'm hoping that one of you may know some more about it!!!???

See, makes sense! In today's world I beleive the law requires approximatley 30 inches(75 cm) clearance from the top of the cooktop to the bottom of a cabinet, etc.
Although this installation looks closer than the above-listed above dimension, a non-flammable metal surface would makes sense (be reasonable) a bit closer!

Our pleasure! Anything special ,in the manual, that you would like scans of?
"I was afraid you were going to install a new cooktop and oven."... NEVER!!! We had been looking for a vintage stove for a while but NEVER thought about something from the sixties! We were looking at fifties or forties.
"Congrats! That's an absolutely super kitchen!"...Thanks so much. Chuck wasn't too crazy about it when he first saw it but we are both tickled by it now! I find myself going out to the kitchen JUST to pop the stove top up.
We are also installing another vintage suprize that I found at the DUMP!! It is from the same time frame sooooo....stay tuned!

When there is chemical warfare, WHY break a nail scrubbing?

uh-huh. LOL Don't tempt me to say anything, LOL
Still,how can you beat an oven where the parts come out and get shoved in the DW.
...and both stainless steel and glass do well with Easy-off (lye-based) YAY!

ok, I am eating my words...
Rich & Chuck,
For the life in me I could not imagine how you could take out a beautiful vintage wall oven like you had in favor of something "new".
Now that I see what you did put up, HOLY COW!!!
That is absolutely beautiful!
Your kitchen is going to be stunning when its all done!
1964 by the way was a very GOOD year!
Congrats!
Jeff

I'm just green with envy. What a beautiful stove. So sleek! I've never seen one like that before. My Tappan has the same kind of doors, but your controls win the classy prize, hands down!
