Typical Tappan....
....Burner control panel of the period. They were brushed aluminum with the indicia and decor silk-screened onto them in paint, and they were very, very short-lived. Cooking grease softened the paint, and cleaners floated it away.
This range may have looked much like this since it was a year old.

"..since it was a year old"
oh-oh.
oh-oh.
You could almost forget fixing pasta on this stove. Those little stamped aluminum burners would take forever to boil a pot of water and then, after you added the pasta, you would have to cover it you ever wanted it to boil again. I wonder if that center hole is the burner conversion plate for a griddle. That hole looks awfully deep to get any heat into a pan and, with the little round burner, once you have preheated the griddle, the edges would never be as hot as the center with the lower flame. CU was on that like a duck on a Junebug as soon as those griddles started appearing on gas stoves.
The stove has a sunburned, outdoors look to it, like it spent time on the back porch or patio.

Pathetic
Every so often, there are some appliances that stand out in the crowd.
Not in a good way. :-/

When I say my "Dream Machines" to be found are: "Any major appliances from the 1960s-1970s (refrigerators/freezers/washers/dryers/ranges/dishwashers) still-working & well-photographed on The Web in their multicolored glory!", I most certainly mean THAT...!
Though it's an interesting range, in some sense...
Just a shame for a potentially well-performing gas range, (in the sense that gas had that edge) it doesn't have a high-output burner, w/ a bigger BTU, or two, let alone anything Temperature Sensor-ed...

It's definitely got a "Yucca Valley/High Desert" look to it.
A Typo-; Correction needed:
Oooh, how could I have forgotten to put: "This is 'NOT' what I had in mind????"
Really, that 3-letter word should have been included in my sentence; I'll let you know when it really IS what I mean...
