Amana Radaranges

[pcasa]

I saw a few older posts on radaranges - anyone as crazy about them as me???? I got my first one new as a christmas present in 1981 - it was a real workhorse for over 20 years - I have collected 4 others since then and use them all - for me they are iconic design and are so well made - any other groupies?

The RadarRange has a huge following. I know there are members here who have them and love them. Over the years there have been various threads about them. Love all that gleaming chrome on yours!

thanks!

I found that one in Denver on Craigslist a few years ago - didn't want to ship it since it was perfect - I have shipped two others, but didn't want to risk this one getting damaged - it's being stored in a family member's home and we will drive to denver in August to pick her up! Here are my others and you can also get a peek at one of my Cuisinart Air Surge Ovens at the bottom (another sick passion)

Very nice, pcasa.

Something tells me you're going to fit right in here.

Here's one I have. I haven't decided it's fate just yet. Impractical, but unique!

 

Decisions, decisions.....

goatfarmer, could you maybe....

attach a load of full shots of the Amana cooking centre unit when you have time? I can't remember the last time I saw one of those....Thx!

I like them too! 

 

I have a RR-2, a RR-4D, a RR-10 and two RCM-10 which were made by Amana for Frigidaire.

Another fan

As a result of cadman(Cory), whose web site (below) got me excited about buying one of these for our apartment kitchen. Now I have four, and there's no room but to stuff them in the closet. I have another spare, but the panel, upper cover to distribute the microwaves....has been swapped or removed for repairs. It's good to have some extras for parts!

Pcasa, that's the response I get when I say, "I collect microwaves". I get the "you do what? collect what?"

The world is crazy - we're normal. Ha.

The RR-10 in the top thread is my favorite RR. Great find! Several of us have RR's, a few of us have a dozen or more.

Here's my rarity: a 1968 commercial Radarange R-2

I like that 3+1 Cooking Center. Very nice!

Pcasa.........i love your idea to display them on the metal rack! Very nice and very clever!

Goatfarmer........growing up we had an eyelevel for awhile. We had coil burners.

Shiny like a studebaker

I only collect the ones with the chrome doors - and a few people on Craigslist have refused to sell to me when I describe how they will need to take it to their local UPS shipping center ... They either think it's some kinda hoax or that I'm nuts! However - two Midwestern sellers and one in CA totally got me and shipped with no problem ... Getting harder to find though
