Thanks for all the comments - this stove is interesting in that it has the control knobs on the front over the door instead of on the dash. Now I've seen this very often on gas stoves, which makes sense - you don't want to singe your arm reaching over the burners to turn on/off/adjust. But it doesn't seem a common feautre on electric stoves.
This is the second stove I've rescued in the past three months. I know I'm "preaching to the choir" here, but I sure would like to find a way to use and enjoy all these stoves. I can't get them all in the house, so would it be crazy to change my kitchen stove every year?? Luckilly, they are all 30" models. Otherwise, they sit in a storage locker or my garage collecting dust.
I think these old girls are aching to put back in service - isn't that why they were built? It's either that, or I'll ask Santa for some electro-shock that might cure me of my need to drag home every enamel coated thing I find!!
