Wow - this model was surprisingly popular here in Canadia,Eh....
The first weekend place that my folks had in the Eastern Townships had one like this in it when we moved in (around 1975) but the oven was totally messed up (big shower of sparks for a preheat). And, read this twice if you must, my ex-wife's mother had one just like in her kitchen in the mid-80s.
I guess this model was licensed for production at the Canadian Westinghouse plant in Hamilton, Ontario.

Hmmm... not exactly a 'rock-bottom' price though...
That's just like mine except for the control panel. Looks to be in decent shape overall; can't tell if thats dirt or damage to the top of the bottom drawer.
If it was closer I might go after it.

I have one like it in my basement, found on a midnight appliance shopping trip. The left front unit is the SUPER COROX which pushed 230 volt current across a 115 volt switch and unit. Odds are that the unit itself is fine and the switch is all that needs to be replaced, but it won't be with another "speed heat" type switch, just a regular 115 volt infinite switch with an additional terminal for a signal light to switch on the light when the unit is turned on. This was the only surface unit on this range that had an infinite heat switch; the other three are 5 heat switches and the units look different. They are like the ones on Ralph's mother's range that went to Georgia. It was a very well designed range with the controls out of the heat zone. When any surface unit is switched on, the fluorescent light under the switches comes on to light up the color wheels that show red, orange, yellow, green and blue for the heats: high, medium-high, medium, low & simmer. The open coil broiler is very powerful and, like all Westinghouse ovens, it bakes beautifully.
The price is a little high.

The model is FH and it was the TOL 30" model in 1955.
