Heads-Up! RR-2

[danemodsandy]

Phil:

Sounds like you know what you're doing, so that's all right then.

I am much more careful with my Snowflake Blue than I would be with Spring Blossom Green or Butterfly Gold; those last two patterns are sitting about knee-deep in every thrift store in America. But not Snowflake Blue.

There are other Corelle patterns that are HTF, as well.

It made it home!

My RR2 just got here and has been cleaned. It's in nice shape having come from the original owner.

Congratulations! Does yours have the flat glass tray? If it does, I'd like to have the dimensions!

 

Thanks

Phil,

 

It's has the flat tray.  I can see why they went to the later style tray.  The flat glass was a pain to handle.

I'd like if you could send a picture of it with the door open and if you have a chance to note or take another picture showing the serial number of your oven, it would be great! It's probably on a tag under it near the door

 

Here's a picture of mine:

Flat Tray For RR-2s

Yes the later molded tray was diffidently an improvement, it was not only easier to handle but it contained pretty good sized spills.

Here you go with the interior pic. It's heavy. I'm not looking for the serial number without help!

Travis, that's a beauty- Nice Save!!

 

[philr]

Thanks for the picture!

 

The serial number if located between the door and the front leg on the early RR-2 models. It's easy to see if you move the microwave a bit on the counter as I did to take the picture...

 

Your glass tray doesn't seem to be clear. Is it textured? If I remember well, John's glass tray is clear?

 

Also, is there a buzzer on-off switch under the control panel? My RR-2 lacks a buzzer and a switch and I think John and Cory's RR-2 microwaves also lack them but some do have one like Jon's RR-2.

Travis - great looking RR-2. You just had it shipped and it arrived intact? Can I ask who you used to ship it?

It looks like your interior light is in the center rear!? If so, that's where it should have remained, imho. Oh well, small matter to most.

Phil,

I know a shipper that was fairly close to the seller. He picked this up and brought it to me. It was only mildly dirty when it landed on my counter. I can't wait to smell the cooking through the door.

 

[philr]

And you'll also hear the cooking through the door!

Ha! I forgot there's nothing but screen - and I missed thinking about the sound and smell experiences - unique!
