GE Partio Cart - original 1960 photo and a never-used unit in Seattle - Retro Renovation

I find an original 1960 photo of the GE Partio Cart outdoor barbecue -- and we spot a never used Partio Cart for sale in Seattle. This is such a wonderful relic of midcentury prosperity and inventiveness!

GE Partio carts

This was a wonderful Appliance, It was well though out and very functional, I have two of these wonderful outdoor cooking machines and would recommend them to anyone who gets a chance to buy one.

 

Because it is a real 240 volt range you can do some serious cooking on the range top as well as in the oven. And a few years ago we had a summer down poor while it was in use and it did not affect it one bit, GE did an excellent job of building it for safe outdoor use even during a down poor.

Would the GE cook cart need a 50A 240V outlet?How long a cord did the machine have?Or was the unit permenantly wired?With the interest in outdoor kitchens-surprized these haven't made a comeback.

These came with a 50 foot three wire range type plug, they would work well on 30 amps but if you really wanted to push things you might use a 40 amp circuit. The cord rolled up and was stored in the cabinet under the grill end of the appliance.

GE PARTIO CART

This is an old thread but hoping someone sees my post. After over 20 years of looking I have finally found a PARTIO CART. It's missing the side shelves - if anyone could send me photos of the shelf hardware I might attempt to have some of the hardware replicated if possible I would need the upper connecting piece photo and the swing out support. thanks in advance if anyone can help me!
