Custom Imperial !!
My favorite! I only wish they still made these. One thing I was disapointed about regarding the 40 inch line of Frigidaire ranges was they never got a chance to introduce them with the ceramic top or the Touch N Cook line.This one has the "Electri Clean Plus" feature. I can see the removeable panels in the left oven.That was made before they changed the crown design on their logo.I remember their RSE36S,the 30 inch "Super" model, was rated number one in Consumer Reports for a few years in a row.I used to demo their porcelain drip bowels by placing an ice cube in it and putting a teapot on to boil. Once the whistle blew,I'd take a wooden spoon and lift up the Radiantube element to show the cube was still frozen.At taht time,most,if not all,the other brands had to use stainless steel drip pans to reflect the heat upward.The Radiantube elements were triangular type design that made the heat go directly up like a V.Great find!!I recomend grabbing as many triagle burner supports and porcelain drip bowels as you can find.

Late rotisseries?
My GE P*7 wall oven, all 27 inches of it, has a rotisserie motor and controls. And it must date from the 70's at the earliest (it was Harvest Gold until I replaced the front panel with brushed stainless I got off another P*7).
Alas, the rotisserie gear is missing... as is the temperature probe. Haven't been able to locate replacements. When I switch the front control to "Rotisserie" I can hear the motor hum but the square drive socket doesn't rotate - probably a frozen gear or something. The meat thermometer would be really nice to have, wouldn't it?

Left oven
What's the little breadbox sized space below the left oven used for?

The Probe
The temperature probe for roasting is a useful and very convenient thing to have. I hope you're able to find it. Have you asked Combo if he has one in his vast store house? This one came with an extra rotisserie rod that is square if anyone needs it as the Frigidaire uses a hex shape.

Nice find!
That is one pretty range, Kelly. I have service info if you need any. Does it all work? And the rotisserie too, good thing it's not in my kitchen, Terry would insist on using it with an enormous hunk of flesh!
The microwave looks good on the counter, does it all work OK? The only compliment it needs is a NIB O'Keefe & Merritt microwave next to it! (BTW, Bradley loves the Sunbeam 12, even took an extra set of bowls - another convert!)

You'll enjoy the rotisserie, I use mine mostly during the winter when I cna't grill outdoors. When I do a chicken it fills the house with a great smell, there is no doubt it will be tasty and juicy.
Lucky Find
An older woman was downsizing and she just " knew" the buyers would not keep her range and she wanted to be sure it was adopted. It came with an extra large and small burner because she was afraid a day would come when she couldn't get parts. She was asking $100.00 which the stove is well worth. I traded the Flair to the carpenter working on the house for labor hours. The top had some rust damage and it wasn't pristine. Easter made me realize I needed a bigger workhorse and two wide ovens would work better. The clock was working when I removed it from her house but it hasn't started up here. After a loving bath and a warm house I thought it might be coaxed to take off. If not I'll be sending a timer motor off to the midwest. The quest for a GM refrigerator is still on. I called the ad for the $40.00 brown bottom freezer until it Roselle but no response yet.

Simply awesome!! That Frigidaire is a masterpiece! It has it all - congratulations on such a beautiful stove. I hope it brings you years of enjoyment!
Years of Enjoyment
A bitterwsweet adoption for any appliance that comes into my kitchen. It will be treated like royalty and work its wires to the bone. I love to cook and find any excuse to entertain or donate foods to charity and auction. Its a shame there isn't a scales to record the tonnage of raw ingredients that cross the threshold.

So wonderful to see these appliances IN USE! That's what they were made for - it's always great to see them up on a shelf, but I think we can really appreciate the craftsmanship, engineering and wonder of these old machines when they are fulfilling their function - Bravo!
PS - that chrome Mixmaster is spectacular.

Frigidaire double oven range
Congratulations on your new find Kelly! I am sure you will love this one.
We have the same range in our rental house. Like the vintage Maytags at the house, the tenant loves this vintage range too!
I always wondered what year it was... Now I know. 1969. I thought it was from the early 1970's.

Two of a Kind
Rick your rental is amazing and spotless like everything you touch. I love the heft of these old ranges coupled with enough new technology to make the cooking and clean up easier. The only thing better than a stove that lights up is one with the controls behind glass. It makes cleaning the bacon grease and cooking splatters a breeze.
Kevin, we need to plan a cooking week for interested culinarians of the Forum, sharing the combined knowledge and heritage of food we enjoy. Your video work with the Italian food was splendid and we could video our work and offer them up as CD to offset transportation and food costs. The chrome 10 is among the rarest of mixers made before the model change to 11 which was still in final development. Hamilton Beach did a cosmetic redesign with the model H and it was hitting the market with spectacular success. Sunbeam chromed a few model 10 in the final run of the model to go toe to toe with Hamilton Beach. Like the auctions we fuss about here, someone on WACEM lead the owner to believe she was sitting on a gold mine with her grandmother's mixer and so she put up for sale on ebay classifieds for $1,600. The sparks flew on Wacem as the seller might be a sham and she re-entered to politely tell them off and it was soon forgotten. Several months went by and I ran across the listing. Turned out she lives in Washington State. I mentioned working out a horse trade plus some cash in getting her the mixer she wanted (Bosch) and I'd get the Sunbeam. Sure enough, she owned horses and thought I was serious with the offer and she wasn't interested. After a few more emails we settled on a price and I met her Spokane to pick it up. The remarkable piece is that the mixer is cosmetically flawless, not a scratch, the decal is perfect and the lettering bright and white. Inside was evidence it had seen lots of cookies. The rear bushing is the Achilles tendon of Sunbeam mixers and it was fine so someone had been oiling it. I put in a new switch and the 10's have always been the quietest mixer Sunbeam made and this one is no exception.
Laundress, if one were so inclined, one might accept an invitation to come and experience this master piece first hand. One would, love to have you as a guest but fearing my Western informality might stretch your sensibilties one would acquiese to being a constrained host. Polish your spurs and come on out. Then we'll really test our laundry prowess with some nice road apple stains.

Three in One
I prefer the lack of excessive radiant browning in a Frigidaire range. Cakes come out perfectly level without any darkened crust, perfect for a cake decorator. Three 9 inch layers of the famed 1 2 3 4 cake in 22 minutes at 350 degrees.

Foolish People
On the WACEM Forum I was eaten alive for saying dough hooks worked perfectly in the earlier Sunbeams and told I was dead wrong. I found a cheap model 9 Sunbeam on shopgoodwill for 4.99 and bought it to prove my point.
