Tom:

"The range in reply #11 is actually Almond, and is from the late 70's - early 80's.. Canary Yellow was discontinued around '67."

The range in # 11 is Yellow, because it's a 1966 model. Last year without an oven door window on the 40" P*7 large oven, and with the white glass backguard. It's the TOL, with Sensi-Temp, the electric meat thermometer, the rotisserie and the griddle. This particular range seems to have had its Sensi-Temp burner converted to a regular one; this was a common means of dealing with a malfunctioning Sensi-Temp unit. Also, pushbutton burner controls didn't survive into the Almond years on TOL 40" ranges.

The range in # 15 is an Almond range from the late '70s - it has the oven door window on the big P*7 oven, it has woodgrain on the backguard and it lacks convenience outlets, which were dropped in the mid-'70s as a safety measure.[this post was last edited: 12/15/2014-22:25]

Hey Sandy, you sure are right! Guess I need to have my eyes checked, or read more carefully. As you say, the one in 11 is Canary Yellow. It is 15 that's Almond.

If It Makes You Feel Any Better....

....Tom, I made a mistake in my post above. '66 was not the last year for the white glass backguard - the '67s also had them. The yellow '67 in the eBay thread about the overpriced Yellow range and fridge has the white glass. '67 was the first year for a windowed oven door on a 40-incher with P*7.

Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault....

I agree Lawrence, that's a '57 model.  Perhaps purchased in early 1958, but the pink interior says '57.

[moparguy]

That would be early 60s (maybe 1962ish?) GE 40" in the post #28 directly above... the last iteration of the 1957 model with the dash on legs. Such neat futuristic design!

Photo 2 above is my doing...

I'm sorry for inserting one photo above, that was for another stove…too funny, I just noticed.

Jeff - I agree. That is one of the cooler looking stoves that GE designed.

That's a 1960 GE range (has the brown accent on the console).  They used that console one more year before giving up on the pedestals.  1961 model here

Lawrence - thanks for posting, here's a contrast of the 1960/61 stoves. I like both, but the '60….a little more.

GE Combo in Dallas

The persons selling says the fridge runs but it freezes up. Is this a freon problem or thermostat problem?

 

[rp2813]

I don't see how a fridge could "freeze up" if it was low on freon. 

 

Thermostats were the weak link on GE's from this period.  I'd wager that's the problem, unless the seller doesn't realize that the freezer isn't frost free and requires periodic defrosting.

 

When the thermostat failed on my '57 top-mount, it wouldn't cycle off.  It just got colder and colder, and the serpentine coil in the refrigerator section developed a thick layer of frost instead of the thin glaze that forms when the cold control is operating properly.

 

If I were you, I'd go after a  GE Combination from 1959 or later with "Frost Guard" if it's going to be your daily driver.  From what I've read here in the past, defrosting those bottom freezers is a task that should be avoided.  Also, the articulated shelves on the Frost Guard models are a superior design to the revolving ones.  I think you'd be much happier with a fridge that looked like the turquoise one a few posts up.  It's worth the wait for one to come up for grabs in your area.
