FREE! Tappan Fabulous 400 Stainless Steel Drop-In Range in Iowa

[avanlaar]

I have a 30" Tappan Fabulous 400 stainless steel drop-in oven/range with a swing open door that I'm offering for free to a good home. Rescued from a remodel and was saving for my future use, but I've decided to pass it on to a fellow vintage appliance lover. Overall condition is very good and very clean. Working condition is unknown but everything is intact. Door handle has been broken and glued back together by the original owner. Pick up only in Des Moines, Iowa.

Now that is Fabulous!  So pretty.  Pity about the broken handle but it looks the same as the eye level models so maybe could be replaced without too much difficulty.

I never even knew something like this existed.

I know right? It's cool, but I couldn't find any reference to a model like this in any period advertising or manuals. I'm sure it's out there, but probably somewhat eclipsed by the fabulosity of the eye level models.
