I feel honored to be part of this offer. Here's my measly $400
Thermador
If this is so great-worth 3K-why are they replacing it and with what???
Warmng Drawer?
<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Is that a warming drawer between the microwave and the oven?</span>

Yes!
I think that's very cool
<span style="font-family: helvetica;">That oven must have been a big deal in its day.</span>

Yes, they were nice!
I think Ultramatic has posted the magazine add photo for this before. It showed it installed in a living or dining room in a custom wood cabinet.
From when Thermador was still building them in City of Industry Ca.
I like that other native California stove company too, Dacor. They enetered the market after the Apollo program was finished and applied their heat shielding materials to ovens and ranges.

Functionally it would be handy with the warmer drawer but esthetically speaking it doesn't really appeal to me.
Thermador Wall Oven
These were very good ovens and definitely TOL, We have the same wall oven in the museum kitchen.
This was TDs first MWO design and it even had a 240 browning element, this entire oven was also vented to the outside of the home.
It was a great design and only came in the very good looking black-glass with bruised aluminum trim.
New in the late 70s these were about $2000.

The house where I grew up was built in 1950. It had a double SS Thermador wall ovens, a Thermador cook top with a griddle, and Thermador vent-a-hood. My Mom replaced them about 10 years ago only because the ovens went out and the replacement part was no longer available. So they lasted about 60 years. I don't ever remember any of them needing repair until then. Good stuff!
Hmmm
I'd go for grown up Wally, 2nd from left. Early in covid, bored beyond belief, I watched some 80's "Leave it to Beaver" reunion film. Worse than the Green Acres reunion and worse than Rescue From Gilligan's Island. All watched April 2020, never intend to watch again! There were some long weekends back then.

Neat Ad
These TD ovens fit in a standard 24" wall oven cabinet.

Clearly, every aspect of that ad was conceptualized and tailored exclusively for readers of Playboy. There is no way that it could have appeared in any other magazine except perhaps Penthouse.

That's a good point Dan
24" wide wall ovens are no longer standard. It's 27" and 30" wide now.
Also, this item above looks unusually tall for a built-in. After all it is 3 ovens stacked. Most cabinets made for built-in wall ovens can be adjusted but not by as much as the picture above shows.

I agree with you Ralph
"...exclusively for readers of Playboy"
It doesn't look like an ad one would see in Redbook, Ladies Home Journal, or TV Guide.

Actually I don't think it's much taller than a standard double oven; the configuration gives it the illusion of height.
As for oven cabinets, most lines have versions either with no bottom drawer (blank panel), or shorter doors at the top. Any of the better manufacturers make them to specifications, and have lots of modifications that can be made. For example, I have a download of the Fieldstone Cabinetry Specification Guide, and it has over 700 pages. So getting a cabinet to acomodate it wouldn't be a problem.

Hey Bradfordwhite!
Then why do all the major US maker STILL offer 24" ovens? Can you explain that?

24" Wall Ovens Are Still Very Much In Vogue
In fact its about all that is sold in much of the world.
24" models are more energy efficient and pre-heat faster as well.

As replacements. People remodeling or building new would most likely want something with features like a rotisserie and air fry features. Plus a certain "look".
GE does offer 24" but they are nothing special. They all have the same bland plastic looking control panel.
Frigidaire only offers 1 single door oven in 2 colors.
Whirlpool offers 1 model in 2 colors.
Jennaire offers 2 single door models in 2 diff colors. One is a specialty steam oven for $3K more likely intended for undercounter.
And the outrageous prices.... OMG!

"24" models are more energy efficient and pre-heat faster as well."
I agree with you 100% there.
However "vogue" .... not so much. Not in the U.S. market and that's what we're focusing on here.
I didn't organize the manufacturers priorities.
If you want an oven with a custom look and more features you'll be looking at a 27" or a 30". That's where the manufacturer's put all their attention.
