Rich, I bought the "Fabulous 400" off of Craigslist in Denver and had it shipped. It was expensive, but we don't see many cool gas stoves out here in the NW (probably because of the cheap electricity).
There was a bit of a drama when it arrived, as the upper hinge on the oven door cracked during shipment and was an intregal piece to the control panel. We were able to fabricate a new holder, however, so all is good in that department.
the only things that don't work are the thermostaic burner, the roast meter, and the oven indicator lights. (Anybody want to come to Seattle and work on it?
The oven is chrome, except for the bottom, which is enameled metal, and comes out for easy cleaning.
And yes, it is heavy.
Chuck, The 400 is nice, but that stove of yours wins out in the style department. Plus, it was a World's fair endorsed stove, so what's not to love?
Once all the installation is done, you'll love that stove and a covered cooktop is as glamourous as a pull-out, so Enjoy!
