Hi, my name is Stephen and I just joined!
What got me here? Well, for the past 10 years I rented an apartment which was built sometime in the late 60s to early 70s, and I fell in love with the little General Electric range/oven it had, as well as mid-century things in general. So, I'm in the process of buying this house built in 1957, and I want to try to bring it back to the original feel of the 60s as much as I can in a practical way.
It has a fairly new looking GE gas range, but I kind of like it, so that will probably stay.
The wall oven is a fairly old gas Maytag unit, probably from the 80s. It has some chrome, but also a digital clock, and it only works on broil. I really wanted an electric GE wall oven, so I found a JK-25 and bought it for $200! We'll see if there's already wiring for it or not.
Then I have to find a refrigerator. I did some priliminary research on here and saw some things about various GE TBF models, so I guess I'll look for that.
I also saw a mention of a Maytag 906 being like the most awesome washer/dryer of all time, so I guess I should try to find one of those too! The house doesn't have a dishwasher, but thats fine with me.
Anyway, if someone knows what the range below is, like the model and what not, I'd like to know just so that I know what I used to have in my apartment. Mine was white instead of yellow, and the door handle was blank instead of saying "General Electric" with the logo in the middle like this one has. This one is listed on CL in Chico.
Thanks!
